To ensure that Panorama can communicate with managed firewalls, Log Collectors, and WildFire appliances and appliance clusters, and its high availability (HA) peer, use the following table to verify the ports that you must open on your network. Panorama uses TCP protocol for port communications.

By default, Panorama uses the management (MGT) interface to manage devices (firewalls, Log Collectors, and WildFire appliances and appliance clusters), collect logs, communicate with Collector Groups, and deploy software and content updates to devices. However, you can optionally assign the log collection and Collector Group communication functions to the Eth1 or Eth2 interfaces on an M-700, M-600, M-500, M-300, or M-200 appliance running Panorama 6.1 through 7.1. If the appliance runs Panorama 8.0 or a later release, you can assign any function to the Eth1, Eth2, Eth3, Eth4, or Eth5 interfaces on the M-700, M-600, M-500, M-300, or M-200 appliance. The ports listed in the following table apply regardless of which function you assign to which interface. For example, if you assign log collection to MGT and assign Collector Group communication to Eth2, then MGT will use port 3978 and Eth2 will use port 28270. (The Panorama virtual appliance can only use the MGT interface for all these functions.)
