1. Use Case: Configure Firewalls Using Panorama

This use case is based on a scenario where you want to use Panorama in a high availability configuration to manage a dozen firewalls on your network: you have six firewalls deployed across six branch offices, a pair of firewalls in a high availability configuration at each of two datacenters, and a firewall in each of the two regional head offices.

To read more about the workflow for designing a central management strategy for this scenario, see Use Case: Configure Firewalls Using Panorama.

This example takes you through the process of assessing the efficiency of your current policies and determining where you need to adjust them to fortify the acceptable use policies for your network. The use case provides information on how to analyze traffic data from applications and also provides suggestions on what changes to make to your policy configuration.
