Panorama Management Compatibility

Review the Panorama™ management server compatibility based on the installed PAN-OS® version.
Review the table below to understand which Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall, Dedicated Log Collector, and WildFire® appliances a Panorama™ management server can manage based on the installed PAN-OS version. Palo Alto Networks recommends management of currently supported Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls, Dedicated Log collector, and WildFire appliance running a supported PAN-OS version.
(PAN-OS 10.2.6 and earlier releases) Panorama must be running the same or a later PAN-OS version than the firewall it manages.
Dedicated Log Collectors must be running the same or later PAN-OS version than managed firewalls from which logs are forwarded. Palo Alto Networks does not support forwarding logs from managed firewalls to a Dedicated Log Collector if the Dedicated Log Collector is running an earlier PAN-OS version than that installed on your managed firewalls. This may lead to log forwarding and ingestion issues.
(PAN-OS 10.2.7 and later releases) Dedicated Log Collectors can receive logs from firewalls running a higher version of PAN-OS within the same release train.
Panorama can manage a firewall running a higher version of PAN-OS within the same release train. For example, a Panorama appliance running PAN-OS 10.2.7 can manage a firewall running PAN-OS 10.2.8 or later 10.2 releases. Panorama does not support any new features, optimizations, or platforms introduced in the later versions of PAN-OS or installed plugins. For information on new features, see the PAN-OS or Plugin Release Notes. It is a best practice that Panorama runs the same or a later PAN-OS version than the firewall it is managing.
Dedicated Log Collectors can receive logs from firewalls running a higher version of PAN-OS within the same release train.
(PAN-OS 10.1.2 and earlier PAN-OS 10.1 releases) The device registration authentication key length is increased when you upgrade Panorama to PAN-OS 10.1.3 or later release:
Despite these onboarding requirements, Panorama supports managing firewalls, Dedicated Log Collectors, and WildFire appliances running the PAN-OS versions described below.
PAN-OS software versions that are End-of-Life (EoL) are not displayed. See the Palo Alto Networks End of Life Announcements for additional information. EoL PAN-OS versions are supported only for End-of-Sale (EoS) firewall models until they reach EoL.
Management of End-of-Life (EoL) PAN-OS versions may result in unexpected issues, particularly if there is a large gap between the PAN-OS version installed on Panorama and the one installed on the firewall. For example, you may run into unexpected or unknown issues if you attempt to manage a firewall running the EoL PAN-OS 7.1 release from a Panorama management server running PAN-OS 10.2 or a later version.
