Panorama management
In this section, we will learn about the simple management tasks that you would normally need to perform on each firewall individually, which can be very time-consuming. The first task of an administrator is to make sure all firewalls have up-to-date signatures and content packages.
Device deployment
Content updates can be managed through Panorama in two ways. A template can be created that sets a local update schedule on each firewall, which will require each firewall to connect to the update server individually and collect and install updates. A second method is setting an update schedule on Panorama and pushing out updates to all devices. This last method gives you a little more control over what is being pushed to the managed firewalls and when, but does increase bandwidth usage on the Panorama site or cloud provider.
To schedule updates from Panorama, do the following:
- Go to Panorama | Device Deployment | Dynamic Updates and click on Schedules...
