Administrator-Level Push

Push just the configuration changes made by the Panorama administrator to managed firewalls.
PAN-OS 10.2 enables Panorama administrators to push just their own configuration changes to managed firewalls. Additionally, a Panorama administrator can specify one or more Panorama administrators with committed configuration changes to include in the push. Leveraging an administrator-level push to managed firewalls reduces the risk of pushing incomplete device group and template configurations to managed firewalls by allowing you to explicitly exclude incomplete configuration changes when you push to managed firewalls. This helps mitigate and avoid potential outages and configuration related issues that could cause network disruptions.
For multi-vsys managed firewalls running PAN-OS 10.2, configurations in the Shared device group are now pushed to a Shared configuration context for all virtual systems rather than duplicating the shared configuration to each virtual system. This reduces the operational burden of scaling configurations for multi-vsys firewalls.
  1. After you upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2,
    Commit
    and
    Push to Devices
    the entire Panorama managed configuration to your managed firewalls.
    This is required to utilize the administrator-level push and leverage the improved shared configuration object management for multi-vsys firewalls managed by Panorama.
