Context Switch—Firewall or Panorama
The Panorama™ web interface enables you to toggle between
a Panorama-centric view and a firewall-centric view using the Context drop-down
at the top-left of every tab. Set the Context to Panorama to
manage firewalls centrally or switch context to the web interface
of a specific firewall to configure it locally. The similarity of
the Panorama and firewall web interfaces enables you to seamlessly
move between them to monitor and manage firewalls.
The Context drop-down lists only the firewalls
that are connected to Panorama. For a Device Group and Template
administrator, the drop-down lists only the connected firewalls
that are within the Access
Domains assigned to that administrator. To search a long
list, use the Filters within the drop-down.
For firewalls in a high availability (HA) configuration, the
icons have colored backgrounds to indicate the HA state (as follows).
Knowing the HA state is useful when selecting a firewall context.
For example, you generally make firewall-specific configuration
changes on an active firewall.
- Green—Active.
- Yellow—Passive or the firewall is initiating (the initiating state lasts for up to 60 seconds after boot up).
- Red—The firewall is non-functional (error state), suspended (an administrator disabled the firewall), or tentative (for a link or path monitoring event in an active/active HA configuration).
When you configure an admin
role profile for a Device Group and Template admin, you must
assign a Device Admin Role that is pushed
to your managed firewalls to context switch between the Panorama
and firewall web interface.
During the context switch, Panorama validates if the admin has
access to a specific vsys or for all vsys. If the admin has access
to all vsys, then Panorama uses the device admin role context switch.
If the admin has access to one or some of the vsys, then Panorama
uses the vsys admin role to context switch.
