Advanced and Legacy Routing Engine Coexistence in a Single Strata Cloud Manager Tenant

Manage both Logical Router and Virtual Router configurations in a single Strata Cloud Manager tenant using device-level routing mode selection.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • NGFW (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
One of these licenses:
  • Strata Cloud Manager Essentials
  • Strata Cloud Manager Pro
You can manage both Advanced Routing Engine (Logical Router) and Legacy Routing Engine (Virtual Router) configurations within a single Strata™ Cloud Manager tenant, eliminating the need to maintain separate tenants for mixed-generation firewall deployments. This enables you to migrate heterogeneous firewall fleets from Panorama to a single Strata Cloud Manager tenant without losing any configuration.
Strata Cloud Manager no longer validates routing mode before pushing configuration to the firewall. It pushes both Virtual Router and Logical Router configurations to devices, and the firewall applies the configuration that matches its routing mode.
The Panorama to Strata Cloud Manager migration tool supports migrating both Logical Router and Virtual Router configurations simultaneously within the same Strata Cloud Manager tenant. Contact your account team to enable the Panorama to Strata Cloud Manager Migration feature on your tenant.
Do not use the ZTP tool to onboard existing devices with active configuration to Strata Cloud Manager.
Onboarding new devices without existing configuration follows the bootstrap process for routing conversion to align with the tenant-level default (Advanced Routing Engine). Contact your account team to change the tenant-level setting.
You can migrate your existing NGFW configurations from Panorama to Strata Cloud Manager using the Migrate NGFW Configuration from Panorama workflow, available at ConfigurationOnboardingNGFW PanoramaConfigure Migration.
