* CN-Series Daemonset mode supports GTP, SCTP, and 5G security in PAN-OS 10.1 and
later PAN-OS versions. Additionally, CN-Series firewalls running PAN-OS 10.2 and
later PAN-OS versions support GTP, SCTP, and 5G security in both K8s cloud-native
network (CNF) mode and Daemonset mode.
** To verify that your PA-7000 Series firewall is installed with the cards that
support GTP and SCTP, use the show chassis inventory CLI
command. However, it is possible that cards are installed but are not functional
if your firewall does not account for all dependencies. Refer to the PA-7000 Series Firewall Hardware
Reference for installation instructions and to review the
dependencies for each card.

* In PAN-OS 11.0, we support only 4G CUPS architecture for Intelligent
Security with PFCP.
** We support Intelligent Security with RADIUS in PAN-OS 11.0.2 and all
later PAN-OS versions.
*** To verify that your PA-7000 Series firewall is installed with the cards that
support PFCP, RADIUS, and GTP, use the show chassis
inventory CLI command. However, it is possible that cards are
installed but are not functional if your firewall does not account for all
dependencies. Refer to the PA-7000 Series Firewall Hardware
Reference for installation instructions and to review the
dependencies for each card.
