Manage Unused Shared Objects
When you push configuration changes Device Groups,
by default Panorama pushes all shared objects to firewalls whether
or not any shared or device group policy rules reference the objects.
However, you can configure Panorama to push only the shared objects
that rules reference in the device groups. The Share
Unused Address and Service Objects with Devices option
enables you to limit the objects that Panorama pushes to the managed
firewalls.
When Share Unused
Address and Service Objects with Devices is disabled,
Panorama ignores the Target firewalls when
you Push a Policy Rule to a Subset of Firewalls. This means
that all objects referenced by any rules are pushed to all firewalls
in the device group.
To limit the number of objects pushed
to a set of managed firewalls, add the policy rules to a child device
group and reference shared objects as needed. See Create a Device Group Hierarchy for more information
on creating a child device group.
On lower-end models,
such as the PA-220, consider pushing only the relevant shared objects
to the managed firewalls. This is because the number of objects
that can be stored on the lower-end models is considerably lower
than that of the mid- to high-end models. Also, if you have many
address and service objects that are unused, clearing Share
Unused Address and Service Objects with Devices reduces
the commit times significantly on the firewalls because the configuration pushed
to each firewall is smaller. However, disabling this option might
increase the commit time on Panorama because Panorama has to dynamically
check whether policy rules reference a particular object.
- Select PanoramaSetupManagement, and edit the Panorama Settings.
- Clear the Share Unused Address and Service Objects with
Devices option to push only the shared objects that rules
reference, or select the option to re-enable pushing all shared objects.Unchecking this option forces Panorama to check all of its policies for references to the objects and may increase commit times depending upon the configuration.(Best Practices) If you plan to uncheck this option for all future commits, limit the number of shared configuration objects to help reduce commit times.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- Select CommitCommit to Panorama and Commit your changes.
