You can manage up to 200 standalone WildFire appliances and WildFire appliance cluster nodes centrally using a Panorama M-Series or virtual appliance. Compared to managing WildFire appliances and appliance clusters individually using the local CLI, using Panorama provides centralized management and monitoring of multiple appliances and appliance clusters. Centralized management enables you to push common configurations, configuration updates, and software upgrades to all or a subset of the managed WildFire appliances, which makes it easy to ensure that WildFire appliances and appliance clusters have consistent configurations.

When you use Panorama to manage WildFire appliance clusters, Panorama must run an equal or later version than the WildFire appliances being managed.
