Next-Generation Firewall
Redistribution

Redistribution
To enable a firewall or virtual system to serve as a User-ID
agent that redistributes user mapping information along with the
timestamps associated with authentication challenges, configure
the settings described in the following table. When you later connect
this firewall to an appliance (such as Panorama) that will receive
the mapping information and timestamps, the appliance uses these
fields to identify the firewall or virtual system as a User-ID agent.
The complete procedure
![]()
to configure firewalls
to redistribute user mapping information and authentication timestamps
requires additional tasks besides specifying the redistribution
settings.
By default, a firewall with multiple virtual systems
doesn’t redistribute user mapping information across its virtual
systems, though you can configure them for redistribution.
