Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the Panorama central management platform and how it can be leveraged to make managing groups, clusters, and geographically spread out firewalls, users, and locations much less complex. You learned how device group configuration and templates can be used to simplify and make configuration consistent across all of your managed devices.
If you’re preparing for the PCNSE, take note of what the templates and device groups are for. You should be able to explain how firewalls are deployed and managed from Panorama. Also, take special note of the automatic commit recovery, as this is part of the PCNSE blueprint.
In the next chapter, we will review the best practices for upgrading firewalls and Panorama.
