Provisioning TZ and NSa Devices

This section explains the steps to provision the below listed products under MSSP Monthly services:

  • TZ (TZ80, TZ670, TZ 570, TZ 470, TZ370, TZ270, TZ 570W, TZ 470W, TZ370W, TZ270W, TZ 570P)
  • NSa (NSa 2800, NSa 6700, NSa 5700, NSa 4700, NSa 3700, NSa 2700)

License expiry date for TZ or NSa devices that are licensed through the monthly billing program shows as end of the month but the license gets renewed every month automatically.

To provision a product

  1. Navigate to Monthly Billing | Monthly Products.
  2. Click Provision > Product.
  3. Select the Tenant Name under which you want to add the Product.
  4. Select TZ & NSa from Product list.
  5. Select Firewall from the list.

    You can either Register a New Firewall or select the already registered firewall from the list. When you select:

    • Register a New Firewall, a new tab opens to register a new firewall.
    • An existing firewall from the list, displays Active Annual & Perpetual Licensing statuses, Security Services Bundle and Data retention add-on.

      Provisioning an existing annual license in Monthly Billing overwrites the remaining value of the license and will be lost.

  6. Select the Security Service Bundle.

    Each bundle comes with basic or advanced reporting. If you want to have an advanced reporting and analytics or retain data more than the duration comes with bundle, you can add on to the bundle.

  7. Select Data retention add-on to add 7, 30, 90, or 365 days of advanced reporting and analytics to add to the bundle or No Change to go with only bundle.

  8. Leave the Zero Touch enabled. By the default, the Zero Touch option is enabled.

  9. Check I understand that by provisioning monthly licensing, the remaining value of my annual licenses will be lost. Perpetual licensing such as SSL VPN is additive and is not overwritten box to overwrite an existing license value.

    The Security Services Bundle and/or Data retention add-on is overwritten when the service is selected other than No Change. This only applies if you are converting an existing term or annual license with future validity. This does not affect perpetual licenses like SSLVPN/GVC or Stateful High Availability.

  10. Enable SSLVPN Users to increase SSLVPN Users count under Monthly Billing.

    1. Enter the number of monthly licenses to be added in SSLVPN Users field.

       

      • Adding SSLVPN Users count on this screen, adds the number to the existing default count. Total count of licenses is equal to total of default and monthly licenses. For example, if the unit has 2 default licenses and add 10 monthly licenses, total license count will be 12.

      • Maximum allowed licenses including default and monthly licenses are displayed on the screen.
      • You cannot provision licenses more than the maximum count shown on the screen. The maximum number of licenses allowed differs from each unit.
    2. Set the Expiry Date for monthly licenses.

      You can set the Expiry Date if want to use the monthly licenses for any specific period or else set it to Never.

  11. Click Provision.
