Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has any experience using a totally airgapped panorama/firewalls deployment. At the moment I have a case where none of the devices are allowed any outside connections. I thought it would be do-able since both software and content updates can be manually uploaded to panorama and deployed like this, and license keys can be downloaded and uploaded to the firewalls... That should cover all bases, right? Now we realize that panorama isn't aware of licenses manually uploaded to firewalls. The only way to make panorama aware of the licenses present on a firewall is by letting it connect to the outside license server (updates.paloaltonetworks.com I suppose...). Since we need a valid suppport license to be known on the Panorama to push software updates and content packs, the whole thing falls apart. It doesn't make sense to me. They implemented ways to do version and content updates in an airgapped system, but you still need to break the airgap to allow panorama to retrieve the licenses for the airgap solutions to work. I must be missing something, right?
