PAN-OS & Panorama
Test the traffic policy matches of the running firewall configuration.
Panorama customers with the Cloud Connector Plugin can use Policy Analyzer to analyze Security rules both before and after committing changes to their configuration.
Policy Analyzer not only analyzes and provides suggestions for possible consolidation
or removal of specific rules to meet your intent but also checks for anomalies, such
as Shadows, Redundancies, Generalizations, Correlations and Consolidations in your
rulebase.
- Policy Analyzer requires the Cloud Connector Plugin 1.1.0 on your Panorama appliance.
- Policy Analyzer requires Panorama to be updated to PAN-OS version 10.2.3 or a later version.
Both Panorama and PAN-OS customers can test and verify that security rules are allowing
and denying the correct traffic by executing policy match tests for firewalls
directly from the web interface.
