Where do you create Dynamic Address Groups when deploying the Palo Alto Networks NGFW on NSX?

Dynamic Address Groups are a crucial feature used in conjunction with the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) when deployed in an NSX environment. They enable more granular and flexible security policies by dynamically including virtual machines based on criteria such as IP address, tags, or other attributes.

Creating Dynamic Address Groups typically requires a centralized management approach, which is why Panorama is the correct choice in this context. Panorama serves as a management platform for multiple Palo Alto firewalls and provides visibility, centralized policy management, and monitoring. It facilitates the creation and management of dynamic address groups across the entire infrastructure, ensuring that security policies can dynamically adjust as the underlying virtual machine infrastructure changes.

While NSX Manager, vCenter, and the Palo Alto Networks NGFW have their respective roles in the overall management and configuration of the environment, they do not provide the same centralized policy management functionality required for creating and managing dynamic address groups. NSX Manager and vCenter are primarily concerned with network and virtualization management, while the NGFW handles firewall policies primarily. Thus, Panorama is the most suitable and designed tool for this task, allowing better integration and management within the Palo Alto security framework.
