    Management CLI and XML API Changes

    CLI and XML API changes to firewall management features in PAN-OS 8.1.
    PAN-OS 8.1 has the following CLI and XML API changes for firewall management features:
    FeatureChange
    High availability (HA) settings
    The syntax to set the HA group ID changed in PAN-OS 8.1. To set the group ID, you now enter group group-id followed by the group ID number.
    • PAN-OS 8.0 and earlier releases:
      # set deviceconfig high-availability group <name>
    • PAN-OS 8.1 release:
      # set deviceconfig high-availability group group-id <1-63>
    Core logs (PA-200 and PA-220 firewalls only)
    The CLI command to allocate logdb storage for large core files now allocates 128MB instead of 4GB. This changed because allocating 4GB caused a commit error on these models.
    # set deviceconfig setting management large-core
    Rule use
    The CLI command to view used and unused rules changed. In PA-OS 8.1, you must add the highlight option.
    • PAN-OS 8.0 and earlier releases:
      > show running rule-use vsys <value> rule-base
    • PAN-OS 8.1 release:
      > show running rule-use highlight vsys <value> rule-base
