                         | 
                             Manual scheduling of cloud verdicts is required if a new host in an
                                Host Compliance Service-enabled environment has a refresh event
                                entry without a corresponding update event entry.

                         | 
                             Host Compliance Service connectivity will not work if it is connected
                                with management IP which is configured with DHCP mode.

                             Panorama cannot display Threat log entries (Monitor > Logs >
                                    Threat) when the managed log collector is running a lower
                                PAN-OS release than Panorama. 
                            Workaround: Upgrade the log collectors to the same version as
                                Panorama.

                         | 
                             AutoCommit fails when the Traffic Object is used on AI Runtime
                                Security, which consequently impacts the workloads that utilize
                                overlapping subnets.

                             (PA-7500 firewall only) Enabling FIPS-CC mode causes the
                                firewall to go into maintenance mode. 
                            Workaround: After the firewall goes into maintenance mode,
                                perform an additional reboot. The firewall will successfully start
                                up in FIPS-CC mode.

                             WildFire WF-500 appliances running PAN-OS 10.x or PAN-OS 11.x cannot
                                be managed by Panorama running PAN-OS 12.1.2 due to connectivity
                                issues. 
                            Workaround: Upgrade your WildFire appliances to PAN-OS 12.1.2
                                or later.

                             The Release Note URL column in the Panorama > Plugins page is
                                empty. 
                            Release Notes for the plugins are available in the plugins release notes or
                                in their individual product release notes.

                         | 
                             (NGFW Cluster) In an NGFW cluster, your pings to the HSCI-B
                                link might fail, even when the link indicates it is up. In the event
                                that the HSCI-A link is brought down or unplugged, the cluster node
                                will transition to failed state, avoiding split brain as both HSCI
                                links are down in this case.  
                            Workaround: Reboot the cluster node to resolve the HSCI-B ping
                                issue.

                             If the Host Compliance Service is configured with a service route
                                pointing to an unreachable IP address, the
                                    gp_broker process may stop working
                                when you enable-disable the Host Compliance Service.

                         | 
                             VM entered maintenance mode during a downgrade from version 12.1.2 to
                                11.2.7, when executed through the CLI. 
                            Workaround:  Download and install the required version of
                                PAN-OS through the UI instead of the CLI. 
                         |

                             (PA-410 firewall only) Loading a saved config file can take
                                up to 5 minutes.

                         | 
                             When you use the CLI command request system fqdn
                                    refresh to trigger another IP address resolution of
                                configured FQDN entries, the firewall might get into an error state
                                where the DNS Proxy cache received and stored a new IP address for a
                                particular FQDN entry via this command. However, the Device-Server
                                (and the Security rule) still have the old IP address for that FQDN
                                entry. 
                            Workaround: Avoid using the CLI command: request
                                    system fqdn refresh. Use the following command
                                instead (for a particular domain-name or an entire list):
                                    clear dns-proxy cache all domain-name
                                    <domain_name>. To correct the error state where
                                the DNS Proxy cache and Device-Server and Security rule are already
                                storing different IP addresses, use the following CLI command:
                                    debug device-server dump fqdn type resync vsys
                                    <vsys_name> fqdn-name <domain_name>

                             If Azure hotplug events occur, the firewall may experience a
                                    brdagent crash and data interfaces may
                                transition to an unknown state, leading to traffic disruption. 
                            Workaround: Reboot the VM if the
                                    brdagent crash does not trigger a device
                                reboot.

                             PAN-299562 
                         | 
                             SSL proxy sessions fail when clients send a Client Hello with TLSv1.2
                                and TLSv1.3, and exclusively prefer the secp192 elliptic curve. 
                            Workaround: To address this, configure a decryption profile to
                                use TLSv1.2 as the maximum supported TLS version. Then, apply this
                                profile to the decryption policy rules for the affected clients and
                                servers. This enables the client to modify its preferred curves,
                                facilitating successful session establishment.

| PAN-299387 | 
                             (NGFW Cluster) When an NGFW cluster has only one firewall
                                node present and powered up, that node is stuck in UNKNOWN state
                                after you reboot it and it comes back up. The issue occurs in two
                                scenarios: 
                            
 The expected behavior is that if no peer device is available (at a
                                port autonegotiation or link level for HSCI-A or HSCI-B), then a
                                cluster device should go to INITIAL state, followed by ONLINE state
                                (and not remain in UNKNOWN state). 
                            Workaround: To avoid this issue, connect the HSCI-A to HSCI-B
                                in loopback to create a link partner.

                             On PA-5400 Series and PA-7500 Series firewalls, if you run certain
                                types of CLI commands during or shortly after a commit, the commands
                                will time out. The types of CLI commands impacted by this issue are
                                IoT, Cloud-User-ID, and App-ID Cloud Engine CLI commands. 
                            Workaround: Don't execute IoT, Cloud-User-ID, or App-ID Cloud
                                Engine CLI commands during or shortly after a commit on a PA-5400
                                Series or PA-7500 Series firewall.

                             The remediation link included in the generated PDF of an upgrade
                                check report might be pruned due to a text length limitation of the
                                export function. The link remains fully functional and works
                                correctly on the Panorama web interface.

                             In an AI Runtime Security environment, the Azure Container outbound
                                traffic does not seem to be functional and the egress traffic is
                                being misdirected to an incorrect cluster node port.

                             When an Intel e810 NIC is configured in SR-IOV mode, sharing Virtual
                                Functions (VFs) among multiple HSF cluster nodes and subsequently
                                rebooting a cluster node while traffic is active may result in
                                traffic disruption on other HSF cluster nodes utilizing the same
                                NIC. It is recommended to refrain from sharing Intel e810 VFs across
                                cluster nodes and to allocate one VF per Intel e810 PF.

                                non-leader nodes receive traffic in cluster mode. If the relevant
                                HIP Report is missing, policies involving HIP may not work properly.
                                The expected behavior is that when a non-leader node receives
                                related traffic, it should request the corresponding HIP Report from
                                the leader.

                             (NGFW Clusters) Firewalls in an NGFW cluster indicate they
                                are in ONLINE state even though their configurations are different
                                (they aren't synchronized).  
                            Workaround: Push the configuration from Panorama to all
                                cluster members at the same time; don't push to an individual
                                firewall. If a cluster member isn't connected to Panorama during the
                                push, the push will fail to the disconnected firewall, but will
                                succeed to all connected firewalls.

                             PAN-OS 12.1.2 and later 12.1 releases support a Load Balanced DNS
                                configuration for an address object. If there are two address
                                objects with same FQDN, but one object has Load Balanced DNS enabled
                                and other object has Load Balanced DNS disabled, then the policy
                                match for the removed IP addresses doesn't work as expected.  
                            Workaround: Enable (or disable) Load Balanced DNS consistently
                                for an FQDN that is used with multiple address objects.

                                when the DNS cache reuse flag is enabled. When the DNS cache reuse
                                flag is enabled, the DNS resolution works as if the Load balanced
                                DNS flag (for an Address object) is disabled.

                            Workaround: Remove the custom certificates before the
                                ElasticSearch certificates expire. This allows the system to
                                correctly identify and renew the predefined ElasticSearch
