Bootstrap the Firewall

Bootstrapping speeds up the process of configuring and licensing the firewall to make it operational on the network with or without Internet access. Bootstrapping allows you to choose whether to configure the firewall with a basic configuration file (init-cfg.txt) so that it can connect to Panorama and obtain the complete configuration or to fully configure the firewall with the basic configuration and the optional bootstrap.xml file.
