Explanation

In Panorama, zones are defined within templates (or template stacks). When authoring security policies in a device group, Panorama needs to know which templates hold the zone definitions. By adding the template (or template stack) as a reference template in the device group settings, Panorama can discover and populate the zone drop-down with zones defined in that template. Without this reference, Panorama cannot determine which zones exist on the targeted devices. Sharing unused objects (A), adding a master device (C), or simply adding a firewall to the group (B) do not resolve the zone visibility issue caused by missing template association.
