Calculate impact of NAT rules
-
Calculate impact of VPN policies
Notes for Panorama Advanced:
-
Local PanOS firewall rules are not supported.
-
Visibility for Dynamic Address Groups (DAGs) and Panorama Tags in View Policy, Rule Viewer, Topology.
-
Panorama 8 and earlier is no longer supported.
-
If a rule on the Panorama device has Application = Any and Service = Application Default, TOS inaccurately considers the rule to be Service = Any. This limitation applies to all TOS calculations, such as shadowing, violations, matching rules, Verifier and Designer.

Notes for PanOS firewalls:
- Real-time monitoring uses syslogs.
- APG does not recognize Palo Alto users and applications.
- Accountability is supported when changes are made directly to a firewall.
