Import XML FW config from desktop to Panorama?

jmarchant — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:57:03 GMT

Scenario:

I have a new firewall out in the field, I'd like to put a basic configuration on the FW in the field including the Panorama server IP. I'd then like to log into Panorama and import the config from my desktop and then push the full config to the FW in the field.

I have searched and do not see anything of this nature. Seems like a pretty simple task, but I just can't find anything on it.

TIA

There are a couple approaches you can take. There are likely other options but these are what jumps to mind.

1. Bootstrap the firewall using USB:

2. Load a partial config that contains the Panorama IP:
