Add a Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) firewall to be managed by the Panorama management server running PAN-OS 11.1.
  1. Add a ZTP firewall to Panorama.

    3. Enter the
      Claim Key
      for the ZTP firewall provided by Palo Alto Networks.
      The eight digit numeric claim key is printed on a physical label attached to the back of the ZTP firewall you received from Palo Alto Networks.
    4. Click
      OK
      to save your configuration changes.
    5. Select the newly added ZTP firewall and
      Register
      the firewall.
      When prompted, click
      Yes
