    Import Multiple ZTP Firewalls to Panorama

    Import multiple ZTP firewalls to the Panorama™ management server in CSV format.
    Log in to the web interface of the Panorama™ management server as a Superuser, Panorama admin, or as the ZTP installer admin to import multiple ZTP firewalls to Panorama. To import multiple ZTP firewalls, you must import a CSV file of the ZTP firewall serial number and corresponding claim key provided by Palo Alto Networks and then register the firewalls with the ZTP service. Registering the firewall claims the firewalls as assets in your account in the Customer Support Portal and allows the ZTP service to associate the firewalls with the Panorama.
    Before you can successfully add a ZTP firewall to Panorama, you must ensure that a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is deployed on the network. A DHCP server is required to successfully onboard a ZTP firewall to Panorama. The ZTP firewall is unable to connect to the Palo Alto Networks ZTP service to facilitate onboarding without a DHCP server.
    Do not power on the ZTP firewall until after you finish all the required installation and setup procedures. This causes ZTP onboarding to fail and you must reset the firewall to factory default settings to restart the ZTP onboarding process.
    Migrating a firewall added to Panorama management using ZTP from one Panorama to another is not supported.
    Firewalls onboarded to Panorama management using ZTP do not support high availability (HA) configuration.
    You must disable ZTP on your firewalls to configure them in an HA configuration. After disabling ZTP, add your firewalls as managed devices and set up your firewalls in an active/passive or active/active HA configuration.
    While adding ZTP firewalls to Panorama, do not perform any commits on the ZTP firewall before you verify that the firewall is successfully added to Panorama. Performing a local commit on the ZTP firewall disables ZTP functionality and results in the failure to successfully add the firewall to Panorama.

    11.1

    Import multiple ZTP firewalls to the Panorama™ management server running PAN-OS 11.2 or later release in CSV format.
    1. Gather the serial numbers and claim keys for your ZTP firewalls.
      The eight digit numeric claim key is printed on a physical label attached to the back of the ZTP firewall you received from Palo Alto Networks.
    2. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.
    3. Select Panorama Zero Touch ProvisioningFirewall RegistrationPDF/CSV and Export an empty ZTP import file in .csv format.
    4. Create a CSV file containing the ZTP firewall serial numbers and claim keys. The first column must contain the serial numbers, the second column must contain the corresponding claim key for that firewall. and the third column contains the auth key to activate firewall licenses. Refer to the following example for reference.
    5. Import the ZTP firewalls to Panorama.
      You must connect the Eth1/1 interface on ZTP firewalls to successfully register ZTP firewalls with the CSP and push the policy and network configurations.
      1. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface using the ZTP installer admin credentials.
      2. Select PanoramaZero Touch ProvisioningFirewall Registration and Import the ZTP firewalls.
      3. Browse and select the CSV file containing the ZTP firewall information and click OK.
      4. Select the newly added ZTP firewall and Register the firewall.
        When prompted, click Yes to confirm registering the ZTP firewall.
    6. Verify the firewall successfully registered with the ZTP service.
      1. Select Registration Status and verify that the ZTP firewalls successfully registered with the ZTP service.
      2. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface using admin credentials.
      3. Select PanoramaManaged DevicesSummary and verify that the ZTP firewalls are successfully added as a managed firewall.
    7. Add the ZTP firewalls to the device group and template stack that contain the required ZTP configuration.
      You must add the ZTP firewalls to a device group and template stack for your firewalls to display as Connected to push policy and network configurations.
      You must keep the ZTP firewalls in the ZTP device group and template stack that the ZTP template is associated with. This is required for the firewalls to maintain connectivity with Panorama and prevent any unintended configuration reverts on the firewalls.
      1. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface using admin credentials.
      2. Select PanoramaManaged DevicesSummary.
      3. Select the ZTP firewalls you added and registered in the previous step and Reassociate.
      4. Select the ZTP Device Group and Template Stack.
      5. Check (enable) Auto Push on 1st Connect to automatically push the device group and template stack configurations when the ZTP firewall successfully connects to Panorama for the first time.
      6. (Optional) Specify the To SW Version to automatically upgrade your firewalls to a more recent PAN-OS version.
        Ensure that the To SW Version column is configured to the correct PAN-OS version so that the firewall does not upgrade or downgrade unintentionally. ZTP functionality is supported only for PAN-OS 10.0.1 and later releases. Additionally, the PAN-OS version must be the same or an earlier version of the PAN-OS version running on Panorama.
        For more information, see Upgrade a ZTP Firewall.
      7. Commit and Commit to Panorama
    8. Power on the ZTP firewalls.
      Wait for the ZTP firewalls to finish powering on. On Panorama, select PanoramaManaged DevicesSummary and verify that the ZTP firewalls are now Connected.
    9. Complete setting up the newly onboarded firewalls.
      1. Log in to the firewall web interface and activate the Support license.
        You must activate the Support license locally for each managed firewall you added to Panorama management.
      2. Log in to the Panorama web interface and activate any additional licenses on your managed firewalls.
      3. Install the latest dynamic content updates on the managed firewalls.
        1. Select PanoramaDevice DeploymentDynamic Updates and Check Now for the latest updates
        2. Download the latest dynamic content release version.
        3. Install and select the newly added firewalls.
          Click OK when prompted.
      4. (Optional) Upgrade the managed firewalls as needed.
