Where to Go Next
•
To learn more about configuring Panorama, refer to the Panorama Administrator’s Guide for your release. To learn more about
using the appliance as a PAN-DB Private Cloud, refer to the PAN-OS Administrator’s Guide for your release. All administrator’s
guides are located on the Technical Documentation portal:
https://paloaltonetworks.com/documentation
.
•
To learn about the appliance hardware, refer to the M-200 and M-600 Appliance Hardware Reference:
https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/platforms
.
•
To learn how to migrate a Panorama M-100, M-500, or virtual appliance to an M-200 or M-600 appliance, refer
to the migration information in the Panorama Administrator’s Guide:
https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/81/panorama/panorama_adminguide.html
.
Change the Mode of Operation
Use the following procedure to change the appliance mode. If you change to Log Collector mode or (
M-600 only
) PAN-DB Private Cloud
mode, you must use the command line interface (CLI) to manage the appliance; the web interface is available only in Panorama and
Management-only mode.
Before you change the mode of operation from Panorama or Management-only mode to Log Collector mode, configure the Log
Collector options using the Panorama web interface as described in the Panorama Administrator’s Guide for your release.
You cannot switch directly between Log Collector mode and PAN-DB Private Cloud mode; instead, you must first switch to
Panorama mode. Switching the mode reboots the appliance and deletes the existing configuration and data but does not delete the
management access configuration.
To change modes:
1. Use terminal emulation software to access the CLI on the appliance.
2. Log in to the appliance using the administrator username (admin) and the password you configured during initial configuration.
3. Use one of the following commands to change modes:
•
From Panorama mode to Log Collector mode:
>
request system system-mode logger
•
From Panorama mode to Management-only mode:
>
request system system-mode management-only
•
(
M-600 only
) From Panorama mode to PAN-DB Private Cloud mode:
>
request system system-mode panurldb
•
From Log Collector or PAN-DB Private Cloud mode to Panorama mode:
>
request system system-mode panorama
4. After the appliance reboots, verify the mode of operation by running the following command:
>
show system info | match system-mode
The output shows the mode for the appliance. For example:
system-mode: panorama
Step 5
Configure DNS servers and the Palo Alto Networks Update Server.
1. Select
Panorama > Setup > Services
and edit Services.
2. Enter the URL or static IP address of the
Update Server
(default is updates.paloaltonetworks.com).
3. Enter the IP address of the
Primary DNS Server
and, optionally, the
Secondary DNS Server
.
4. (
Optional
)
Verify Update Server
Identity
if you want Panorama to verify that the Update Server from which it downloads
software or content packages has an SSL certificate signed by a trusted authority. This option adds an additional level of security
for communication between the Panorama management server and the Update Server.
5. Click
OK
to save and then
Commit
, select
Panorama
as the Commit Type, and click
Commit
again.
Step 6
Verify management access to the appliance.
1. Connect the management interface on the appliance to the management network.
2. Change the IP address on your computer back to the previous IP address (captured in Step 1) and then reconnect your computer
to the management network.
3. Open a browser and connect to the appliance using the IP address that you assigned to the management interface. For
example, if the management interface IP address is 10.43.4.4, then enter https://10.43.4.4.
4. Log in to the appliance using the new administrator password you configured in Step 2.
