You can now access the web interface by navigating to the configured IP address (or DHCP-acquired IP) on port 443.
Because PAN-OS contains proprietary data security technology, the image file cannot be obtained legally from third-party mirrors. Follow these steps to secure the verified file:
virt-install --name PA-VM-10.1 \ --ram 8192 --vcpus 4 \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/pa-vm-kvm-10.1.0.qcow2,format=qcow2 \ --network network=default,model=virtio \ --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic \ --import Use code with caution. pa-vm-kvm-10.1.0.qcow2
The pa-vm-kvm-10.1.0.qcow2 file represents a specific milestone in the evolution of Palo Alto Networks' virtualized next-generation firewall (NGFW) offering. Released as part of the PAN-OS 10.1 branch, this image is designed for deployment on Linux-KVM hypervisors (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM, Ubuntu KVM, or Nutanix AHV).
The second NIC (data port) is usually set to NIC: 0.0.0.0/0 or Accept All . Do not plug this into a switch with DHCP unless you want a broadcast storm. Connect it directly to a SPAN/mirror port or leave it disconnected initially. You can now access the web interface by
: Used in production to secure private and hybrid clouds by analyzing all traffic in a single pass to identify applications, content, and users. Key Technical Aspects
Starting in PAN-OS 10.1.0, the system will immediately prompt you to change the default password. Enter a strong, compliant password to proceed. Configuring Static Management IP The pa-vm-kvm-10
pa-vm-kvm-10.1.0.qcow2 is a virtual disk image file. The .qcow2 extension indicates that it is in the QEMU Copy-On-Write (QCOW2) format, a virtual disk image format used by QEMU, an open-source emulator and virtualizer. This format is commonly used for storing virtual machine (VM) disk images.
The 10.1 code branch introduced several features that distinguished it from the older 9.x line.
Under Advanced options, select your Management bridge network.
Do not attempt to convert this file to VMDK (VMware) or VHDX (Hyper-V) unless absolutely necessary. The kvm tag in the filename suggests the kernel and disk drivers are compiled against virtio , which may fail to boot on non-KVM platforms.
