Hi All,

Do anybody having the visibility here.

Hello @Sujanya

there is a Day 1 configuration that can be generated from CSP. Here is the KB: https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000PM2lCAG ? Is it what you were looking for?

Kind Regards

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the information. This is really helpful. But we are looking for is there any ways to configure day-zero configuration via PAN portal.

Thank you for reply @Sujanya

the link I shared is the only way I am aware of. I believe there is nothing else available from CSP. If you have a Panorama in your environment, you can leverage: "Auto Push on 1st Connect" to streamline onboarding of Firewalls. Other than this I can't think of anything else.

Kind Regards

Pavel

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the information. We have panorama in our environment and will further check on "Auto Push on 1st Connect" option available in Panorama.

Having one doubt on Day 1 configuration via CSP portal, Do we need to take the console of Palo-Alto and set-up the management interface to make it access via GUI and later we need to use this day1 config tool of PAN to create a baseline xml file of PAN configuration which can be loaded to firewall later.
(or)
Running Day1 config itself will set-up the management interface Ip(which we will providing during running the tool) and later it would be accessible via GUI. Later generated file can be imported.
