Panorama serves as the central point of administration for the
VM-Series firewalls running on NSX-V. When a new VM-Series firewall is
deployed in NSX-V, it communicates with Panorama to obtain the license
and receives its configuration/policies from Panorama. All configuration
elements, policies, and dynamic address groups on the VM-Series
firewalls can be centrally managed on Panorama using Device Groups
and Template Stacks. The REST-based XML API integration in this
solution, enables Panorama to synchronize with the NSX-V Manager and
the VM-Series firewalls to allow the use of dynamic address groups
and share context between the virtualized environment and security
enforcement. For more information, see

Enforcement using Dynamic Address Groups.
