Determine Your Management Strategy (PAN-OS)
Learn about the advantages of managing your network directly through the PAN-OS web
interface.
The
PAN-OS web interface provides direct device
management for individual NGFW, offering administrators complete control through a
browser-based console. This management approach delivers immediate access to all NGFW
functions without requiring additional infrastructure. The interface is organized into
logical sections including Dashboard, ACC (Application Command Center), Policies,
Objects, Network, Device, and Monitor, providing intuitive navigation for both
configuration and operational monitoring.
Key advantages include zero deployment overhead, immediate configuration changes without
synchronization delays, and direct access to hardware-specific settings. The PAN-OS web
interface is particularly suitable for small deployments, lab environments, or scenarios
where granular device-specific control is required. This management method enables
administrators to leverage the full functionality of the firewall without dependencies
on external management systems.
