Discover and Manage On-Prem Firewall Management Center Network Objects

If you have an On-Prem Firewall Management Center that you manage using CDO and you want to share and manage its objects, do the following:

Procedure

Step 1

In the left pane, choose Tools & Services > Firewall Management Center to view the Services page.

Step 2

If you already have onboarded an on-prem management center to CDO, select it.

If you want to onboard a new on-prem management center, see Onboard an On-Prem Firewall Management Center.

Step 3

Choose Settings from the Actions pane on the right. Note that you do not get to see the Actions pane when you select more than one on-prem management center.

Note	You must be an admin or a super admin to be able to use Settings.

Step 4

Enable the Discover & Manage Network Objects toggle button. If you want your changes to be automatically synchronized with on-prem management center and not staged for review, turn the Enable automatic sync of network objects toggle on.

Note

You cannot turn the Discover & Manage Network Objects toggle on if the on-prem management center that you have selected has one or more child domains or has the Chanage Management workflow enabled on it..
You cannot turn the Enable automatic sync of network objects toggle on if the Discover & Manage Network Objects toggle is turned off.

For every new on-prem management center onboarded to CDO, this toggle button needs to be enabled manually. Once you enable this option, CDO starts to discover objects from your on-prem management center, which you can share, manage, and use to set consistent object definitions across other platforms managed by CDO.

In CDO, when you add overrides to objects that are discovered from an on-prem management center and push the changes back to the on-prem management center, these objects start accepting overrides in the on-prem management center even if they were not accepting overrides before—the Allow Overrides checkbox in View Network Object window is checked automatically when an override is added from CDO.

Note	If you want to assign already-existing objects in CDO to your on-prem management center, choose the on-prem management center and click Assign Objects from the Actions pane.
