The M-500 and M-100 appliances are high performance
hardware appliances that you can deploy in Panorama mode (as Panorama
management servers) or in Log Collector mode (as Dedicated Log Collectors).
The appliances provide multiple interfaces that you can assign to
various Panorama services such as firewall management and log collection.
Before setting up the appliance, consider how you can configure the
interfaces to optimize security, enable network segmentation (in
large-scale deployments), and load balance the traffic for Panorama
services.
