Upgrade a ZTP Firewall

Automatically upgrade your a ZTP firewall.
After you successfully add a ZTP firewall to the Panorama™ management server, configure the target PAN-OS version of the ZTP firewall. Panorama checks whether PAN-OS version installed on the ZTP firewall is greater than or equal to the configured target PAN-OS version after it successfully connects to Panorama for the first time. If the PAN-OS version installed on the ZTP firewall is less than the target PAN-OS version, then the ZTP firewall enters an upgrade cycle until target PAN-OS version is installed.
  1. Select
    Panorama
    Device Deployment
    Updates
    and
    Check Now
    for the latest PAN-OS releases.
  2. Select
    Panorama

    Summary
    and select one or more ZTP firewalls.
  3. Reassociate
    the selected ZTP firewall(s).
  4. Check (enable)
    Auto Push on 1st Connect
    .
  5. In the
    To SW Version
    column, select the target PAN-OS version for the ZTP firewall.
  6. Click
    OK
    to save your configuration changes.
  7. Select
    Commit
    and
    Commit to Panorama
    .
  8. Power on the ZTP firewall.
    When the ZTP firewall connects to Panorama for the first time, it automatically upgrades to the PAN-OS version you selected.
    • Panorama running PAN-OS 11.0.0
      —If you are upgrading managed firewalls across PAN-OS major or maintenance releases, the intermediary PAN-OS releases on your upgrade path are installed first before the target PAN-OS release is installed.
      For example, you configured the target
      To SW Version
      for the managed firewall as PAN-OS 11.0.0 and the firewall is running PAN-OS 10.1. On first connection to Panorama, PAN-OS 10.2.0 is installed on the managed firewall first. After PAN-OS 10.2.0 successfully installs, the firewall is automatically upgraded to the target PAN-OS 11.0.0 release.
    • Panorama running PAN-OS 11.0.1 and later releases
      —If you are upgrading managed firewalls across PAN-OS major or maintenance releases, the intermediary PAN-OS major releases on your upgrade path are installed and the base PAN-OS major release is downloaded before the target PAN-OS maintenance release is installed.
      For example, you configured the target
      To SW Version
      for the managed firewall as PAN-OS 11.0.1 and the firewall is running PAN-OS 10.0. On first connection to Panorama, PAN-OS 10.1.0 and PAN-OS 10.2.0 are installed on the managed firewall. After the managed firewall reboots, PAN-OS 11.0.0 is downloaded and then the firewall automatically installs to the target PAN-OS 11.0.1 release.
