Enable Automated Commit Recovery
Enable Automated Commit Recovery to enable firewalls
to locally test the connection to Panorama and revert if the connection
is broken.
To ensure that broken configurations caused
by configuration changes pushed from the Panorama™ management server
to managed firewalls, or committed locally on the firewall, enable Automated
Commit Recovery to enable managed firewalls to test
configuration changes for each commit and to verify that the changes
did not break the connection between Panorama and the managed firewall.
You can configure the number of tests that each managed firewall
performs and the interval at which each test occurs before the managed
firewall automatically reverts its configuration back to the previous
running configuration. When you enable automated commit recovery,
the managed firewall configuration reverts and not the Panorama
configuration. Additionally, the managed firewall tests its connection
to Panorama every 60 minutes to ensure continued communication in
the event unrelated network configuration changed disrupted connectivity
between the firewall and Panorama or if impacts from a past committed
configuration affected connectivity. For high availability (HA)
configurations, HA synchronization between the HA peers after a
push from Panorama occurs only after a connectivity test.
Automated
commit recovery is enabled by default. However, if you disabled
automated commit recovery and then want to re-enable this feature
in an existing production environment, first verify that there are
no policy rules that will break the connection between Panorama
and the managed firewall. For example, in the event where management
traffic traverses the dataplane, it is possible there is a policy
rule that restricts traffic from the firewall to Panorama.
The
firewall generates a config log after the firewall configuration
successfully reverts to the last running configuration. Additionally,
the firewall generates a system log when the administrator disables
this feature, when a configuration revert event begins due to a
connectivity test that fails after a configuration push, and when
the Panorama connectivity test that is performed every 60 minutes
fails and causes the firewall configuration to revert.
Enable Automated Commit Recovery independent
of any other configuration change. If enabled alongside any other
configuration changes that result in a connection break between
Panorama and managed firewalls, the firewall configuration cannot
automatically revert.
- Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.Select and select the desired Template or Template Stack from the Template context drop-down.Enable automated commit recovery.(ZTP Firewalls) Enabling automated commit recovery may cause the initial configuration push after you add ZTP firewalls to Panorama to be automatically reverted. To enable automated commit recovery for your managed ZTP firewalls, configure the Number of attempts to check for Panorama connectivity as 5.
- Edit () the Panorama Settings.
