Panorama

Panorama is used to register the VM-Series firewall for NSX-V as the Palo Alto Networks NGFW service on the NSX-V Manager. Registering the Palo Alto Networks NGFW service on the NSX-V Manager allows the NSX-V Manager to deploy the VM-Series firewall for NSX-V on each ESXi host in the ESXi cluster.
Panorama serves as the central point of administration for the VM-Series firewalls running on NSX-V. When a new VM-Series firewall is deployed in NSX-V, it communicates with Panorama to obtain the license and receives its configuration/policies from Panorama. All configuration elements, policies, and dynamic address groups on the VM-Series firewalls can be centrally managed on Panorama using Device Groups and Template Stacks. The REST-based XML API integration in this solution, enables Panorama to synchronize with the NSX-V Manager and the VM-Series firewalls to allow the use of dynamic address groups and share context between the virtualized environment and security enforcement. For more information, see Policy Enforcement using Dynamic Address Groups.
