PA-445 setup on Mac

[omar.pouerie]

Hey All, 

Completely new to firewall configurations, so i'm hoping to get some clarity. 

I was tasked to configure a PA-445, i'm trying to do a basic setup and can log into the GUI but the option to setup through the Standard method doesn't do anything after clicking the button. 

The ZTP setup works when i click on that button and can see the interface but i get the notification : Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is in progress. Configuration operations are disabled until the ZTP process completes. To switch to standard mode, please use the operational command “set system ztp disable”.

I cant find anything in the interface to run this command and trying via terminal says i am connected to the device but no login option to proceed.

Happy to share more detail and hoping for some guidance.

Hi @omar.pouerie ,

To disable ZTP on a ZTP firewall you can follow this article:

If you are connected via the console cable and see text but can't type, try hitting Enter a few times to wake up the login prompt. If you see 'ZTP in progress' messages scrolling across the screen, just ignore them and hit Enter to get to the login prompt!

If you haven't changed the credentials yet, the default is admin / admin.

Hope this helps,

try connecting to your firewall via ssh:

ssh -l admin 192.168.1.1

log in and then run the following command:

set system ztp disable

hit 'y' to accept and reboot after which the ztp is disabled and you can configure ethernet1/1 as a normal interface
