Can a firewall hostname be setup as a variable in a Template?

RHuss1 — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 21:08:17 GMT

Setting up a bunch of new firewalls and would like to push the host names down as a variable in a template.

Doesn't look like hostname is a variable type. Am I missing something?

Thank you for the post @RHuss1

I do not think you are missing anything. Only configuration values mentioned in this article can be set as a variable: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-web-interface-help/panorama-web-interface/panorama-templates/panorama-templates-template-variable.html The hostname is not on the list. I do not believe there is a way around it. You will likely have to create a template for each Firewall to configure name.

Kind Regards

only to update you. From PAN-OS 11.1 and later Hostname has been added as a templet variable: configure-template-or-template-stack-variables.

Kind Regards
