Course Overview
In this course, you will learn how to configure the Palo Alto Networks firewall appliance using REST APIs to provide network automation and programmability services to your network environment. Below are the key areas for what you will learn in this course:
- You will learn about the structure and components of REST API requests including the tools (e.g. Postman, Python) for creating requests
- You will learn how you can view, add, update, and delete a wide variety of firewall components (e.g. Objects, Groups, Policies, Interfaces, etc)
- You will learn how you can perform a software upgrade using REST API requests
- And you will learn how you can build REST API requests inside of a Python script to show what you can build further for your own tools to provide firewall automation
You can view all topics covered in this course below on this page under ‘Lessons’.
