Bootstrapping allows you to create a repeatable and
streamlined process of deploying new VM-Series firewalls on your
network because it allows you to create a package with the model
configuration for your network and then use that package to deploy
VM-Series firewalls anywhere. You can bootstrap the VM-Series firewall
off an external device (such as a virtual disk, a virtual CD-ROM
or an AWS S3 bucket) to complete the process of configuring and licensing
the VM-Series firewall. You can either bootstrap the firewall with
basic initial configuration and licenses so that the firewall can
register with Panorama and then retrieve its full configuration
from Panorama, or you can bootstrap the complete configuration so
that the firewall is fully configured on boot up.
