Set Up the M-Series Appliance

The M-600, M-500, M-200 and M-100 appliances are high performance hardware appliances that you can deploy in Management Only mode (as Panorama management servers with no local log collection), Panorama mode (as Panorama management servers with local log collection) or in Log Collector mode (as Dedicated Log Collectors). The appliances provide multiple interfaces that you can assign to various Panorama services such as firewall management and log collection. Before setting up the appliance, consider how you can configure the interfaces to optimize security, enable network segmentation (in large-scale deployments), and load balance the traffic for Panorama services.
M-100 appliances are supported in PAN-OS 9.1 only if they have been upgraded to 32GB memory from the default 16GB. See M-100 Memory Upgrade Guide for more information.
