200153 - Target Firewall Not Connected (User-ID)

Uploading...Agent error code #200153 means Knocknoc sent an IP-tag registration through Panorama for a specific firewall serial number, and Panorama could not reach that firewall to pass the request on.

This is the User-ID equivalent of #200000, which covers the same problem on the External Dynamic List refresh path. If a knoc uses both, expect both codes.

Common causes include:

The firewall has lost its management connection to Panorama The serial number configured on the knoc does not match a device Panorama manages The serial number is correct but the device was rebooting or upgrading The vsys named on the knoc does not exist on that firewall, which Panorama reports the same way

Steps to Resolve

Check the Device Connection in Panorama

Open Panorama > Managed Devices > Summary Find the serial number from the agent log line, which records it as serial Confirm the device shows as Connected

A device that shows as disconnected is a Panorama-to-firewall problem, not a Knocknoc one. Check network reachability on TCP 3978 between the firewall and Panorama.

Verify the Serial Number on the Knoc

In the Knocknoc admin portal, open the knoc and read the serial numbers configured on it Compare them against Panorama > Managed Devices, or against Dashboard > General Information on the firewall itself Correct any mismatch, including stale serials left behind after a hardware replacement or RMA

A knoc listing several serials fails only for the ones that cannot be reached, so a partial failure points at one specific device rather than at Panorama.

Verify the vsys

If the firewall runs in multi-vsys mode, confirm the vsys named on the knoc exists on that device. A vsys that exists on some managed firewalls but not others produces this error only for the ones missing it.
