On the local CLI of each WildFire appliance the Panorama server will manage, configure the IP address of the Panorama server and add the device registration authentication key.
Before you register standalone WildFire appliances to a Panorama appliance, you must first configure the Panorama IP address or FQDN and add the device registration authentication key on each WildFire appliance. This enables each WildFire appliance to securely connect to the Panorama appliance that manages the WildFire appliance. The device registration authentication key is used only for the initial connection to the Panorama server.
Configure the IP address or FQDN of the management interface for the primary Panorama server.

admin@WF-500# 
set deviceconfig system panorama-server <ip-address | FQDN>

If you use a backup Panorama appliance for high availability (

recommended

), configure the IP address or FQDN of the management interface for the backup Panorama server:

admin@WF-500# 
set deviceconfig system panorama-server-2 <ip-address | FQDN>

Add the device registration authentication key.

admin>
 request authkey set <auth-key>


Register WildFire appliances on the primary Panorama appliance.
From the Panorama web interface,

If it is available, information about configuration that is already committed on the WildFire appliances displays, such as IP address and software version.
(
Optional
) Import WildFire appliance configurations into the Panorama appliance.
Select the appliances that have configurations you want to import from the list of managed WildFire appliances.

Add
permitted IP addresses so that an interface accepts traffic only from specified addresses.
The
Analysis Network Environment

Management Services
option.
The
Management
