Discover and Manage On-Prem Firewall Management Center Network Objects

If you have an On-Premises Firewall Management Center that you manage using Security Cloud Control and you want to share and manage its objects, do the following:

Procedure

Step 1

In the left pane, choose Administration > Integrations > Firewall Management Center to view the Services page.

Step 2

If you already have onboarded an on-premises Firewall Management Center to Security Cloud Control, select it.

If you want to onboard a new on-premises Firewall 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-premises Firewall 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-premises Firewall 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-premises Firewall 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-premises Firewall Management Center onboarded to Security Cloud Control, this toggle button needs to be enabled manually. Once you enable this option, Security Cloud Control starts to discover objects from your on-premises Firewall Management Center, which you can share, manage, and use to set consistent object definitions across other platforms managed by Security Cloud Control.

In Security Cloud Control, when you add overrides to objects that are discovered from an on-premises Firewall Management Center and push the changes back to the on-premises Firewall Management Center, these objects start accepting overrides in the on-premises Firewall 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 Security Cloud Control.

Note	If you want to assign already-existing objects in Security Cloud Control to your on-premises Firewall Management Center, choose the on-premises Firewall Management Center and click Assign Objects from the Actions pane.
