Upgrade a Firewall to the Latest PAN-OS Version (API)
You can use the PAN-OS XML API to update your
firewall with the latest PAN-OS and Content Release versions.
Because
the PAN-OS XML API uses a tree of XML nodes, in your API request
you must specify the correct type and action along with the XPath Node Selection. See Explore
the API to learn how to construct XML requests.
