Hi @dmoore-acc360 ,

Great question.  For starters, you can go to the PAN-OS® Administrator’s Guide https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-admin.  Scrolling down the Table of Contents on the left, you will find Policy.  Under Policy > Policy Types, you will find a table of the different policies and a link to the documentation for each one.

With regard to troubleshooting, sometimes you can Google "palo alto <feature> resource list" and see if you get a hit.  I found this for the security policy -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClgACAS.

I found this doc for NAT -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/servlet/fileField?entityId=ka10g000000D83FAAS&field=Attac....  It has example security and NAT policies, which are VERY useful.  Here's another one -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000CllzCAC.

There is a free course on Beacon, Firewall 9.1 Essentials, that has excellent online tutorials on security and NAT policies.

This link has videos -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000PN7rCAG with a few security and NAT policy topics.  The video for destination NAT has another excellent video on the relationship between NAT and security policies.

I hope this helps.  If do, please mark as solution!  🙂

Thanks,

Tom

Edit:  I forgot this link -> https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClGZCA0.  All NAT configurations require a route (connected or other) in order to work.
