Panorama and firewall configuration synchronization

mkopcic — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 13:39:10 GMT

Hi!

Does anybody know, if Network or Device configuration is changed localy on the firewall, will that change will be seen in Panorama automatically? Will firewall synchronize localy config changes with Panorama?

For example. If I add new static route on the firewall (firewall is managed with Panorama), will that route will be synchronized with Panorama?

Thank you and best regards,

Maja

Why are you making changes on the firewall directly if you have Panorama (templates/stacks)? I don't think this kind of "reverse" sync is possible.

Hi @mkopcic

This is only a one-way sync from panorama to the firewall. So no adding a route locally on the firewall will not show up in the panorama config.

Personally, if I'm using Panorama I never modify the firewalls directly (unless it's an emergency). Below is a little script I use on a fresh factory default firewall (jumbo frames optional). Everything after this point is done via Panorama.

configure
delete rulebase security rules rule1
delete zone trust
delete zone untrust
delete network virtual-wire default-vwire
delete network interface ethernet ethernet1/1
delete network interface ethernet ethernet1/2
delete network virtual-router default
set deviceconfig system ip-address <ip-address> netmask <netmask> default-gateway <gateway-ip>
set deviceconfig system panorama-server <panorama-ip>
commit
exit

set system setting jumbo-frame on
y

request restart system
y

Since I started working with PaloAlto Firewalls this has been the first thing to do after unboxing 😉
