Managing Firewalls through Panorama
In this chapter, we will learn about Panorama, a central management platform that enables an administrator to manage firewalls located in different locations or in the cloud in real time. You will learn how to create shared objects and policies, as well as how to use device groups to add some region- or purpose-based policies that can be deployed to multiple similar firewalls. You will also learn how to manage logs and push content updates from one single location and keep track of your inventory.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Setting up Panorama
- Device groups
- Setting up templates and template stacks
- Panorama management
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to centrally manage all of your firewalls and consolidate shared configuration among groups of devices.
