Notes

Note

• Checkmode is not supported.

• Panorama NOT is supported. However, specifying Panorama provider info with a target serial number is.

• PAN-OS connectivity should be specified using provider or the classic PAN-OS connectivity params (ip_address, username, password, api_key, and port). If both are present, then the classic params are ignored.
