Configure Services for Global and Virtual Systems
On a firewall where multiple virtual systems are enabled,
select
Services
to display the Global
and Virtual
Systems
tabs where you set services that the firewall
or its virtual systems, respectively, use to operate efficiently.
(If the firewall is a single virtual system or if multiple virtual
systems are disabled, the Virtual Systems
tab
is not shown.)Select
Global
to set services for the
whole firewall. These settings are also used as the default values
for virtual systems that do not have a customized setting for a
service.- EditServicesto define the destination IP addresses of DNS servers, the Update Server, and the Proxy Server. Use the dedicatedNTPtab to configure Network Time Protocol settings. See Table 12 for field descriptions of the available Services options.
- InService Features, clickService Route Configurationto specify how the firewall will communicate with other servers/devices for services such as DNS, email, LDAP, RADIUS, syslog, and many more. There are two ways to configure global service routes:
- TheUse Management Interface for alloption will force all firewall service communications with external servers through the management interface (MGT). If you select this option, you must configure the MGT interface to allow communications between the firewall and the servers/devices that provide services. To configure the MGT interface, select Device > Setup > Management and edit the settings.
- TheCustomizeoption allows you granular control over service communication by configuring a specific source interface and IP address that the service will use as the destination interface and destination IP address in its response. (For example, you could configure a specific source IP/ interface for all email communication between the firewall and an email server, and use a different source IP/interface for Palo Alto Networks Services.) Select the one or more services you want to customize to have the same settings and clickSet Selected Service Routes. The services are listed in Table 13, which indicates whether a service can be configured for theGlobalfirewall orVirtual Systems, and whether the service supports an IPv4 and/or IPv6 source address.
The
Destination
tab is another Global
service route feature that you can customize. This tab appears in
the Service Route Configuration window and is described in Destination
Service Route.Use the
Virtual Systems
tab to specify
service routes for a single virtual system. Select a Location (virtual
system) and click Service Route Configuration
.
Select Inherit Global Service Route Configuration
or Customize
service routes for a virtual system. If
you choose to customize settings, select IPv4
or IPv6
.
Select the one or more services you want to customize to have the
same settings and click Set Selected Service Routes
.
See Table 13 for services that can be customized.To control and redirect DNS queries between shared and specific
virtual systems, you can use a DNS proxy and a DNS Server profile.
