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.
