Hello Community,
I have a Palo Alto VM. It was configured with three interfaces, see picture. I would like to add another virtual interface. Can you how many Virtual Interfaces can be configured on the Palo Alto VM? Is there a document to assist me?
Cheers
Carlton

VMware limits the number of vNICs to 10 per virtual machine. One of those interfaces is reserved for the dedicated mgmt port, leaving up to 9 "interfaces" for firewall use.
Here's how to add additional interfaces:
1.) power-down the firewall (device/setup/operations/shutdown)
2.) add one (or more) Network adapter / Ethernet interfaces and map them to the appropriate port group. Make sure you use "VMXNET3" Network adapters. If you use E1000's then the firewall will refuse to boot.
3.) Power-on the firewall
