Add a ZTP Firewall to Panorama

Add a ZTP firewall to be managed by the Panorama management server.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Panorama Managed)
  • Device management license
  • Support license
  • Claim key
  • Auth code
Log in to the web interface of the Panorama™ management server as a Superuser, Panorama admin, or as the ZTP installer admin to add a ZTP firewall to Panorama. To add the ZTP firewall, you must enter the firewall serial number and claim key provided by Palo Alto Networks and then register the firewall with the ZTP service. Registering the firewall claims the firewall as an asset in your account in the Customer Support Portal and allows the ZTP service to associate the firewall with the Panorama.
Before you can successfully add a ZTP firewall to Panorama, you must ensure that a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is deployed on the network. A DHCP server is required to successfully onboard a ZTP firewall to Panorama. The ZTP firewall is unable to connect to the Palo Alto Networks ZTP service to facilitate onboarding without a DHCP server.
Do not power on the ZTP firewall until after you finish all the required installation and setup procedures.
Do not power on the ZTP firewall until after you finish all the required installation and setup procedures. This causes ZTP onboarding to fail and you must reset the firewall to factory default settings to restart the ZTP onboarding process.
Migrating a firewall added to Panorama management using ZTP from one Panorama to another is not supported.
Firewalls onboarded to Panorama management using ZTP do not support high availability (HA) configuration.
You must disable ZTP on your firewalls to configure them in an HA configuration. After disabling ZTP, add your firewalls as managed devices and set up your firewalls in an active/passive or active/active HA configuration.
While adding ZTP firewalls to Panorama, do not perform any commits on the ZTP firewall before you verify that the firewall is successfully added to Panorama. Performing a local commit on the ZTP firewall disables ZTP functionality and results in the failure to successfully add the firewall to Panorama.
