Add Standalone WildFire Appliances to Manage with Panorama

1. Using the local CLI, verify that each WildFire appliance that you want to manage on a Panorama management server is running PAN-OS 8.1.0 or a later release.

   admin@qa16> show system info | match version 
   sw-version: 8.0.1-c45 
   wf-content-version: 702-283 
   logdb-version: 8.0.15 

2. On each Panorama appliance you want to use to manage WildFire appliances, verify that the Panorama management server is running PAN-OS 8.1.0 or a later release.

   DashboardGeneral InformationSoftware Version displays the running software version.
3. If you aren’t sure whether a WildFire appliance belongs to a WildFire appliance cluster or is a standalone appliance on the local WildFire appliance CLI, check the Node mode to ensure that the status is stand_alone and check the Applicationstatus to ensure that the global-db-service and global-queue-service indicate ReadyStandalone.

4. If the WildFire appliances you want to manage with Panorama are new, check Get Started with WildFire to ensure that you complete basic steps such as confirming your WildFire license is active, enabling logging, connecting firewalls to WildFire appliances, and configuring basic WildFire features.
5. Create a device registration authentication key.

   1. Select PanoramaDevice Registration Auth Key and Add a new authentication key.
   2. Configure the authentication key.

      • Name—Add a descriptive name for the authentication key.
      • Lifetime—Specify the key lifetime for how long you can use the authentication key used to onboard new WildFire appliances.
      • Count—Specify how many times you can use the authentication key to onboard new WildFire appliances.
      • Device Type—Specify that the authentication key is used to authenticate Any device.
      • (Optional) Devices—Enter one or more device serial numbers to specify for which WildFire appliances the authentication key is valid.
   3. Click OK.

   4. Copy Auth Key and Close.

6. On the local CLI of each WildFire appliance the Panorama server will manage, configure the IP address of the Panorama server and add the device registration authentication key.

   Before you register standalone WildFire appliances to a Panorama appliance, you must first configure the Panorama IP address or FQDN and add the device registration authentication key on each WildFire appliance. This enables each WildFire appliance to securely connect to the Panorama appliance that manages the WildFire appliance. The device registration authentication key is used only for the initial connection to the Panorama server.

   1. Configure the IP address or FQDN of the management interface for the primary Panorama server.

      admin@WF-500# set deviceconfig system panorama-server <ip-address | FQDN>

   2. If you use a backup Panorama appliance for high availability (recommended), configure the IP address or FQDN of the management interface for the backup Panorama server:

      admin@WF-500# set deviceconfig system panorama-server-2 <ip-address | FQDN>

   3. Add the device registration authentication key.

      admin> request authkey set <auth-key>

7. Register WildFire appliances on the primary Panorama appliance.

   1. From the Panorama web interface, PanoramaManaged WildFire Appliances and Add Appliance.
   2. Enter the serial number of each WildFire appliance on a separate line. If you do not have a list of serial numbers, on each WildFire appliance, run:

      admin@WF-500> show system info | match serial 
      serial: 012345678901 

      Several local CLI commands display the WildFire appliance serial number, including show cluster membership.
   3. Click OK.

      If it is available, information about configuration that is already committed on the WildFire appliances displays, such as IP address and software version.
8. (Optional) Import WildFire appliance configurations into the Panorama appliance.

   1. Select the appliances that have configurations you want to import from the list of managed WildFire appliances.
   2. Import Config.
   3. Select Yes.

      Importing configurations updates the displayed information and makes the imported configurations part of the Panorama appliance candidate configuration.
   4. Commit to Panorama to make the imported WildFire appliance configurations part of the Panorama running configuration.
9. Configure or confirm the configuration of the WildFire appliance interfaces.

   Each WildFire appliance has four interfaces: Management (Ethernet0), Analysis Network Environment (Ethernet1), Ethernet2, and Ethernet3.

   1. Select PanoramaManaged WildFire Appliances and select a WildFire appliance.
   2. Select Interfaces.
   3. Select an interface to configure or edit it. You can enable the interface, set the speed and duplex, and configure the IP address and netmask, the default gateway, the MTU, the DNS server, the link state, and the Management Services for each interface. You can also Add permitted IP addresses so that an interface accepts traffic only from specified addresses.

      The Analysis Network Environment, Ethernet2, and Ethernet3 interfaces support only Ping as a Management Services option.

      The Management interface supports Ping, SSH, and SNMP as Management Services options. In addition, the Management interface supports proxy server configuration in case a direct connection to the internet is not possible.
   4. Click OK save your changes.
10. Commit the configuration on the Panorama appliance and push it to the appliance or to multiple appliances.

    1. Commit and Push.
    2. If there are configurations on the Panorama appliance that you do not want to push, Edit Selections to choose the appliances to which you want to push configurations. The pushed configuration overwrites the running configuration on a WildFire appliance.
11. Verify the configuration.

    1. Select PanoramaManaged WildFire Appliances.
    2. Check the following fields:

       • Connected—The state is Connected.
       • Role—The role of each WildFire appliance is Standalone.
       • Config Status—The status is InSync.
       • Last Commit State—Commitsucceeded.
