Testing nmap protection

L0 Member

I have a PaloAlto firewall in a virtual environment. I am trying to test my nmap protection rules and test the number of cps I should be using, but for some reason I cannot ping the interface I want to test my nmap on from an external machine. I can ping the external machine from both the Palo CLI and the workstation terminal, but even with an allow-ping profile set up, no pings from the external machine are answered. Does anyone know any ways to fix this?

Did you attach an 'interface management profile' that has ping enabled to the interface?

Without an interface management profile, the interfaces do not respond to ping
