VM-Series
Deployment
Guide
Register the VM-Series Firewall as a Service on the NSX Manager
Set Up a VM-Series NSX Edition Firewall
Step 4
Add the authorization code.
The authorization code must
be for the VM-Series model
NSX bundle; for example,
PAN-VM-1000-HV-PERP-
BND-NSX
Verify that the order quantity/
capacity is adequate to support
the needs in your network.
Enter the authorization code that you received with your order
fulfillment email. The authorization code is used to license each
instance of the VM-Series.
On the support portal, you can view the total number of
firewalls that you are authorized to deploy and the ratio of the
number of licenses that have been used to the total number of
licenses enabled by your authorization code.
Step 5
Specify the device group to which the
firewalls belong, and optionally the
template.
Because the firewalls deployed in this solution will be centrally
administered from Panorama, you must specify the
Device
Group
that the firewalls belong to.
All the firewalls that are deployed using the authorization code
defined in
Step 4
belong to the specified Template and Device
Group during initial deployment. If you would like to reassign
the firewalls, you must manually move the firewall into a
separate template or device group after they are deployed.
Step 6
Set up notification to different device
groups as new virtual machines are
provisioned or as changes occur on
the network.
To create context awareness between the virtual and security
environments so that policy is consistently applied to all traffic
steered to the firewalls, you need to select the device groups that
need to be notified.
Select the applicable device groups in
Notify Device Groups
.
The firewalls included in the specified device groups receive a
real-time update of security groups and IP addresses. The
firewalls use this update to determine the most current list of
members that constitute Dynamic Address Groups referenced
in policy.
Step 7
Commit your changes to Panorama.
Select
Commit
and Commit Type:
