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
Policy
Enforcement using Dynamic Address Groups.
