Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/deployment-steps/activate-cortex-xdr/enable-access-to-required-panw-resources.md). # Enable access to required PANW resources Configure firewall access for Cortex XDR resources. After you receive your account details, enable and verify access to Cortex XDR communication servers, storage buckets, and various resources in your firewall configuration. Some of the IP addresses required for access are registered in the United States. As a result, some GeoIP databases do not correctly pinpoint the location where IP addresses are used. Data Residency & Transmission: * Data at Rest: All customer data at rest is stored strictly within your selected deployment region. * Standard Deployments: By default, connection endpoints utilize global edge acceleration (Global Load Balancing) to optimize connection performance and volumetric DDoS resilience, with traffic fully encrypted in transit to the deployment region. * Regional Only Compliance Deployments: For organizations with strict local regulatory requirements mandating that network traffic and TLS termination remain strictly within national borders, dedicated Regional Load Balancer endpoints are available upon request. When configured with regional endpoints, all data transmission and TLS handshakes terminate strictly within the specified cloud region. Before configuring your firewall, review these guidelines: * Palo Alto Networks App-IDs (firewall policy): If you are using a Palo Alto Networks Firewall, you can simplify your configuration by using App-IDs. If you add the specific App-IDs (for example, `cortex-xdr`, `traps-management-service`) to your firewall security policy, you do not need to allow specific IP addresses listed below manually * App-ID limitations: A dash (—) indicates there is no App-ID coverage for a specific resource. For these rows, you must configure your firewall to allow access based on the IP address and port. * Rule direction: Enable access from the Cortex XDR Agent to the tenant (outbound); this traffic does not need to be bidirectional. * Google Cloud Platform (GCP): For resources listing IP ranges in the GCP, go to the official JSON feeds for the specific IP addresses required for your deployment: * Global subnets: * Regional ranges: * SSL decryption: If you use SSL decryption and experience difficulty connecting the Cortex XDR agent to the server, we recommend that you add the FQDNs required for access to your SSL Decryption Exclusion list in Device → Certificate Management → **SSL Decryption Exclusion**. {% hint style="info" %} ### Note ***``*** refers to the selected subdomain of your Cortex XDR tenant, and ***``*** is the region in which your tenant is deployed. For more information, see [Cortex XDR supported regions](/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/deployment-steps/activate-cortex-xdr/cortex-xdr-supported-regions.md). {% endhint %} The following table lists the required resources by region, including FQDNs, IP addresses, ports, and App-ID coverage for your deployment:

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/deployment-steps/activate-cortex-xdr/enable-access-to-required-panw-resources.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
