    Description
    —
    Upgrading a PA-200 or PA-500 firewall to PAN-OS 8.1 can take 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Ensure uninterrupted power to your firewall throughout the upgrade process.
    —
    PAN-OS 8.1.1 introduces a new software integrity check; a failed check results in a critical system log, while a passed check generates an informational system log.
    To check for a software integrity check failure, select Monitor > Logs and enter the filter: (severity eq critical) and (eventid eq fips-selftest-integ).
    Please contact Palo Alto Networks Support if a device fails a software integrity check.
    GPC-2742
    If you configure GlobalProtect portals and gateways to use client certificates and LDAP as two factors of authentication, Chromebook endpoints that run Chrome OS 47 or later versions encounter excessive prompts to select a client certificate.
    Workaround: To prevent excessive prompts, configure a policy to specify the client certificate in the Google Admin console and deploy that policy to your managed Chromebooks:
    1. Log in to the Google Admin console and select Device managementChrome managementUser settings.
    2. In the Client Certificates section, enter the following URL pattern to Automatically Select Client Certificate for These Sites:
      {"pattern": "https://[*.]", "filter":{}}
    3. Click Save. The Google Admin console deploys the policy to all devices within a few minutes.
    PLUG-380
    When you rename a device group, template, or template stack in Panorama that is part of a VMware NSX service definition, the new name is not reflected in NSX Manager. Therefore, any ESXi hosts that you add to a vSphere cluster are not added to the correct device group, template, or template stack and your Security policy is not pushed to VM-Series firewalls that you deploy after you rename those objects. There is no impact to existing VM-Series firewalls.
    PAN-204689
    Upon upgrade to PAN-OS 8.1.25, the following GlobalProtect settings do not work:

    PAN-164885
    On the Panorama management server, pushes to managed firewalls (CommitPush to Devices or Commit and Push) may fail when an EDL (ObjectsExternal Dynamic Lists) is configured to Check for updates every 5 minutes due to the commit and EDL fetch processes overlapping. This is more likely to occur when multiple EDLs are configured to check for updates every 5 minutes.
    PAN-162088
    On the Panorama management server in a high availability (HA) configuration, content updates (PanoramaDynamic Updates) manually uploaded to the active HA peer are not synchronized to the passive HA peer when you Install a content update and enable Sync to HA Peer.
    PAN-161955
    Firewalls erroneously generate a high severity system log (MonitorLogsSystem) when the firewall connects to a syslog server.
    PAN-160410
    In the ACC, data cannot be imported or exported when a User filter (ACCNetwork ActivitySet Tab FiltersUser) that contains characters not supported by URL format, such as DOMAIN/USER, is applies to the Network Activity widget.
    PAN-157240
    When a firewall has hardware offloading turned on and OSPF enabled, if ECMP is enabled or disabled for a virtual router during a configuration commit, OSPF sessions may get stuck in Exchange Start state.
    Workaround: Disable OSPF when enabling or disabling ECMP, and then re-enable OSPF in the next commit.
    PAN-154181
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.17 Addressed Issues.
    On the Panorama management server, you cannot context switch to the web interface of a managed firewall running PAN-OS 8.1.16.

    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.11 Addressed Issues
    (PA-7000 Series firewalls using PA-7000-20G-NPC cards only) There is an intermittent issue where an out-of-memory (OOM) condition causes the dataplane or internal path monitoring to stop responding.
    PAN-120440
    There is an issue on M-500 Panorama management servers where any Ethernet interface with an IPv6 address having Private PAN-DB-URL connectivity supports only the following format: 2001:DB9:85A3:0:0:8A2E:370:2.
    PAN-120303
    There is an issue where the firewall remains connected to the PAN-DB-URL server through the old management IP address on the M-500 Panorama management server even after you configured the Eth1/1 interface.
    Workaround: Update the PAN-DB-URL IP address on the firewall using one of two methods.
    • Modify the PAN-DB Server IP address on the managed firewall:
      1. On the web interface, delete the PAN-DB Server IP address (DeviceSetupContent IDURL Filtering settings).
      2. Commit your changes.
      3. Add the new M-500 Eth1/1 IP PAN-DB IP address.
      4. Commit your changes.
    • Restart the firewall (devsrvr) process:
      1. Log in to the firewall CLI.
      2. Restart the devsrvr process: debug software restartprocess device-server
    PAN-119862
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.11 Addressed Issues
    (PA-5050 firewalls only) There is an intermittent issue where an out-of-memory (OOM) condition causes the dataplane or internal path monitoring to stop responding.
    PAN-118065
    (M-Series Panorama management servers in Management Only mode) When you delete the local Log Collector (PanoramaManaged Collectors), Panorama disables the 1/1 Ethernet interface in the Panorama configuration as expected but the interface still displays as Up after you commit when you execute the show interface all command in the CLI.
    Workaround: Disable the 1/1 Ethernet interface before you delete the local log collector and then commit the configuration change.
    PAN-118008
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.10 Addressed Issues.
    (Affects PA-3000 Series firewalls only) There is an infrequently encountered issue where a low memory condition intermittently prevents decoders from loading, leading to traffic inspection issues related to the impacted decoder(s).

    There is an issue where the firewall incorrectly displays application dependency warnings (PoliciesSecurity) after you initiate a commit.
    PAN-116436
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.8 Addressed Issues; see PAN-94475.
    (Panorama™ virtual appliances only) There is a disk space calculation error that eventually leads to an erroneous opt/panlogs/ partition full condition and causes a process (CDB) to stop responding.
    PAN-116084
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.8 Addressed Issues.
    (PAN-OS 8.1.7 only) A VM-Series firewall on Microsoft Azure deployed using MMAP drops traffic when the firewall experiences heavy traffic.
    PAN-116069

    (PA-200 firewalls only) There is a rare out-of-memory (OOM) condition.
    PAN-111456
    The SCTP service object does not function as expected in policy rules.
    PAN-114041
    (Panorama M-Series and virtual appliances only) There is a rare issue where, as a result of known issue PAN-107636, new Elasticsearch (ES) indices are empty, which prevents the web interface from displaying logs for the days associated with those indices. The root cause of this issue is addressed in PAN-OS 8.1.7; however, if you cannot see logs for a given day, contact your Support team to get help recovering them.
    PAN-113614
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.9 Addressed Issues.
    There is an issue with a memory leak associated with commits on Panorama appliances that eventually causes an unexpected restart of the configuration (configd) process.
    PAN-113501
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.10 Addressed Issues.
    The Panorama management server returns a Secure Copy (SCP) server connection error after you create an SCP Scheduled Config Export profile (PanoramaScheduled Config Export). This issue occurs when the SCP server password exceeds 15 characters in length.
    PAN-113340
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.9 Addressed Issues.
    (PA-200 firewalls only) There is an issue where the management plane memory is lower than expected, which causes the management plane to restart.
    PAN-112814
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.8 Addressed Issues.
    (PAN-OS 8.1.6 and later releases only) H.323-based calls lose audio when the predicted H.245 session cannot convert to Active status, which causes the firewall to incorrectly drop H.245 traffic.
    PAN-112428
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.7 Addressed Issues.
    If you use Panorama running PAN-OS 8.1.6 to manage a WildFire appliance that is running PAN-OS 8.1.5 or an earlier PAN-OS 8.1. release, autocommits will intermittently fail and Panorama will stop displaying device groups.
    Workaround: If you use Panorama to manage any WildFire appliances running a PAN-OS 8.1.5 or earlier release, upgrade those WildFire appliances to PAN-OS 8.1.6 (or a later release) before you upgrade Panorama to PAN-OS 8.1.6 (or a later release). If you already upgraded Panorama to PAN-OS 8.1.6, then upgrade all PAN-OS 8.1 WildFire appliances to PAN-OS 8.1.6, as well, and then reboot Panorama.
    PAN-111928
    Invalid configuration errors are not displayed as expected when you revert a Panorama management server configuration.
    Workaround: After you revert the Panorama configuration, Commit (CommitCommit to Panorama) the reverted configuration to display the invalid configuration errors.
    PAN-111866
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.7 Addressed Issues.
    The push scope selection on the Panorama web interface displays incorrectly even though the commit scope displays as expected. This issue occurs when one administrator makes configuration changes to separate device groups or templates that affect multiple firewalls and a different administrator attempts to push those changes.
    Workaround: Perform one of the following tasks.
    • Initiate a Commit to Panorama operation followed by a Push to Devices operation for the modified device group and template configurations.
    • Manually select the devices that belong to the modified device group and template configurations.
    PAN-111844
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.8 Addressed Issues.
    (VM-50 and VM-50 Lite firewalls only) There is a rare out-of-memory (OOM) condition.
    PAN-111729
    If you disable DPDK mode and enable it again, you must immediately reboot the firewall.
    PAN-111708
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.9 Addressed Issues.
    (PA-3200 Series firewalls only) There is a rare software issue that causes the dataplane to restart unexpectedly.
    PAN-111670
    Tagged VLAN traffic fails when sent through an SR-IOV adapter.
    PAN-111553
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.9 Addressed Issues.
    On the Panorama management server, the Include Device and Network Templates setting is disabled by default when you attempt to push changes to managed devices, which causes your push to fail.
    Workaround: Before you commit and push the configuration changes from Panorama to your managed devices, edit the push scope (CommitPush to DevicesEdit Selections or CommitCommit and PushEdit Selections) to Include Device and Network Templates.
    PAN-109759
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.8 Addressed Issues.
    The firewall does not generate a notification for the GlobalProtect client when the firewall denies an unencrypted TLS session due to an authentication policy match.
    PAN-109594
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.6 Addressed Issues.
    (HA configurations only) The dataplane restarts when an IPsec rekey event occurs and causes a tunnel process (tund) failure when one—but not both—HA peers is running PAN-OS 8.0.14 or PAN-OS 8.1.5.
    Workaround: Temporarily modify the IKE phase 2 lifetime for both peers (NetworkNetwork ProfilesIPsec Crypto) to increase the interval between rekey events (default is one hour) to avoid a rekey event before you complete the upgrade on the second peer. Alternatively, remove the HA configuration, upgrade both firewalls, and then restore the HA configuration.
    PAN-109526
    The system log does not display the URL for CRL files correctly, the URLs are displayed with encoded characters.
    PAN-108805
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.5 Addressed Issues.
    (PA-3250 and PA-3260 firewalls only) There is a rare issue with deterministic finite automaton (DFA) signature matching in PAN-OS 8.1.2 and later releases that causes the firewall to stop responding when using hardware-based DFA scanning (default).
    Workaround: In PAN-OS 8.1.5, you can use the following CLI commands to switch to software-based DFA scanning:
    • set system setting dfa-mode [hw-dfa|sw-dfa]—Switch between DFA scanning options (persistent across restarts and does not require a reboot).
    • set system setting dfa-mode-default—Restore the default DFA setting.
    • show system setting dfa-mode—Show the current DFA scanning configuration.
    PAN-108165
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.6 Addressed Issues.
    Memory issues on Palo Alto Networks hardware and virtual appliances cause intermittent management plane instability.
    PAN-107636
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.7 Addressed Issues.
    (Panorama M-Series and virtual appliances only) There is a rare issue where the purge script does not remove the oldest Elasticsearch (ES) indices to make room for new ones as expected when the appliance reaches maximum capacity. This prevents the web interface from displaying any logs for the days associated with those new ES indices (see known issue PAN-114041) because those indices are empty (the appliances cannot read or write to them). If you experience this issue, contact your Support team for assistance.
    PAN-107449
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.5 Addressed Issues.
    (PAN-OS 8.1.4 only) Firewalls fail to establish IKE phase 1 or phase 2 when you specify Diffie-Hellman (DH) group1.
    Workaround: Specify a DH group other than group1.
    PAN-107271
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.4-h2 Addressed Issues.
    (PA-3200 Series firewalls running PAN-OS 8.1.4 in an HA configuration only) The physical link for the HA1-B (backup) port does not function as expected, which means you cannot use this port as an HA1 backup interface when running PAN-OS 8.1.4.
    PAN-106989
    There is a display-only issue on Panorama that results in a commit failed status for Template Last Commit State (PanoramaManaged DevicesSummary).
    Workaround: Push templates to managed devices.
    PAN-105737
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.9 Addressed Issues.
    (PAN-OS 8.1.7 and PAN-OS 8.1.8 only) If you use the AUX 1 or AUX 2 interface and you do not configure an IP address, network mask, and default gateway for the interface, the interface will not come up when you upgrade the firewall to PAN-OS 8.1.7. The most common use of AUX interfaces is to configure AUX ports as HA1 and HA1 Backup interfaces for fiber connections on PA-5200 Series firewalls in an HA configuration.
    Workaround: To avoid a split-brain scenario in HA configurations as a result of this issue, configure a default gateway on at least one of the AUX interfaces.
    PAN-105210
    (Panorama in FIPS mode only when managing non-FIPS firewalls) You cannot configure a GlobalProtect portal on Panorama in FIPS mode when managing a non-FIPS firewall. If you attempt to do so, you will receive the following error message: agent-user-override-key unexpected here Portal_fips.
    PAN-104808
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.10 Addressed Issues.
    There is an issue where scheduled SaaS reports generate and email empty PDF reports.
    Workaround: Manually generate the report from the Panorama web interface.
    PAN-103290
    This issue is now resolved. SeePAN-OS 8.1.15 Addressed Issues
    (PA-3200 Series firewalls only) The firewall stops recording dataplane diagnostic data in dp-monitor.log after a few hours of uptime.
    PAN-103276
    Adding a disk to a Panorama 8.1 virtual appliance on VMware ESXi 6.5 update1 causes the Panorama virtual appliance and host web client to become unresponsive.
    Workaround: Upgrade the ESXi host to ESXi 6.5 update2 and add the disk again.
    PAN-102828
    (Panorama plugins) When you use the AND/OR boolean operators to define the match criteria for Dynamic Address Groups on Panorama, the boolean operators do not function properly. The member IP addresses are not included in the address group as expected.
    PAN-102140
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.4 Addressed Issues.
    Extended Authentication (X-Auth) clients intermittently fail to establish an IPSec tunnel to GlobalProtect gateways.
    PAN-101819
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.5 Addressed Issues.
    The Panorama Controller does not display all commit-all jobs for Panorama Nodes (PanoramaInterconnectTasks) and the Panorama Controller does not push those missing jobs when you Push to Devices if the associated Panorama Node is running a PAN-OS 8.1 release.
    PAN-101688
    (Panorama plugins) The IP address-to-tag mapping information registered on a firewall or virtual system is not deleted when you remove the firewall or virtual system from a Device Group.
    Workaround: Log in to the CLI on the firewall and enter the following command to unregister the IP address-to-tag mappings: debug object registered-ip clear all.
    PAN-100686
    An invalid public key is intermittently applied to the administrator account when deploying a VM-Series firewall in Google Cloud using the Google web interface.
    Workaround: The administrator must log in to the firewall via SSH with a valid private key using the ssh -i private-key-file admin@VM command. Then, from the CLI, remove the invalid public key and add a password for the admin Profile using the following configuration commands from the CLI to enable successful commits:
    # delete
mgt-config users admin public-key
    # set
mgt-config users admin password
    # commit
    PAN-100244
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.5 Addressed Issues.
    There is a rare issue where a failed commit or commit validation followed by a non-user-committed event (such as an FQDN refresh, an external dynamic list refresh, or an antivirus update) results in an unexpected change to the configuration that causes the firewall to drop traffic.
    Workaround: Perform a successful commit immediately after you experience this issue. Alternatively, reload an earlier successfully-committed configuration and manually refresh the FQDN list.
    PAN-100154
    (PAN-OS 8.1.3 and later PAN-OS 8.1 releases only) The default static route always becomes the active route and takes precedence over a DHCP auto-created default route that is pointing to the same gateway regardless of the metrics or order of installation. Thus, when the system has both a DHCP auto-created default route and a manually configured default static route pointing to the same gateway, the firewall always installs the default static route in the FIB.
    Workaround: Set the Default Route Metric in the web interface DHCP Client configuration (NetworkInterfaces{Ethernet | VLAN}<interface>IPv4).
    PAN-99924
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.6 Addressed Issues.
    Fixed an issue where the Panorama management server web and command line interface (CLI) stopped responding after a partial configuration load (PanoramaSetupOperations).
    PAN-99483
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.5 Addressed Issues.
    (PA-5250, PA-5260, and PA-5280 firewalls only) When you deploy the firewall in a network that uses Dynamic IP and Port (DIPP) NAT translation with PPTP, client systems are limited to using a translated IP address-and-port pair for only one connection. This issue occurs because the PPTP protocol uses a TCP signaling (control) protocol that exchanges data using Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) version 1 and the hardware cannot correlate the call-id in the GRE version 1 header with the correct dataplane (the one that owns the predict session of GRE).
    PAN-99084
    (HA configurations running PAN-OS 8.0.9 or a later PAN-OS release) If you disable the HA configuration sync option (enabled by default), User-ID data does not sync as expected between HA peers.
    Workaround: Re-Enable Config Sync (DeviceHigh AvailabilityGeneralSetup settings).
    PAN-98735

    Upgrading a Panorama management server on Microsoft Azure from PAN-OS 8.1.0 to PAN-OS 8.1.1 or PAN-OS 8.1.2 results in an autocommit failure.
    Workaround: Before you upgrade to PAN-OS 8.1.1 or PAN-OS 8.1.2, export your Panorama 8.1.0 configuration. Then upgrade the Panorama management server and, when finished, import your exported configuration.
    Alternatively, you can export the Panorama 8.1.0 configuration, deploy a new instance of Panorama using the 8.1.2 image on the Azure marketplace, and then import and reload the exported configuration.
    If you decide to launch a new Panorama 8.1.2 VM through the Azure marketplace, the web interface will display the image as PAN-OS8.1.2-h4.

    Upgrading firewalls from PAN-OS 8.0 to 8.1 causes the loss of user mapping information and therefore disrupts user-based policies in the following HA configurations:
    • Active/active (in this example, the primary/secondary peers are firewall1/firewall2)—During the period after you upgrade firewall1 to PAN-OS 8.1 but before you upgrade firewall2, firewall1 loses user mapping information. When you finish upgrading both firewalls to PAN-OS 8.1, HA synchronization restores the lost mapping information on firewall1.
    • Active/passive (in this example, the active/passive peers are firewall1/firewall2)—After you upgrade firewall2 to PAN-OS 8.1 but before you upgrade firewall1, firewall2 loses user mapping information but does not enforce policies because it is still in a passive state. However, after you trigger failover by suspending firewall1 (in anticipation of upgrading it), firewall2 becomes the active peer and fails to enforce user-based policies because its mapping information is still missing. After you then upgrade firewall1 and trigger failback, firewall1 resumes enforcing policy and HA synchronization ensures the mapping information is complete on both firewalls.
    In both configurations, whichever firewall is missing user mapping information also cannot collect new user mappings through the PAN-OS XML API until you finish upgrading both HA peers.
    PAN-94382
    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.2 Addressed Issues.

    PA-7000 Series firewalls cause slow traffic over IPSec VPN tunnels when the tunnel session and inner traffic session are on different dataplanes because the firewalls reorder TCP segments during IPSec encryption.
    Workaround: Keep the tunnel session and inner traffic session on the same dataplane. To determine which dataplane the tunnel session uses, first run the show vpn tunnel name <tunnel_name> CLI command to see the tunnel identifier, and then run the show vpn flow tunnel-id <tunnel_id> command to display the dataplane (owner cpuid). To force the inner traffic session onto the same dataplane, run the set session distribution-policy fixed <dataplane>command.

    The memory-optimized VM-50 Lite intermittently performs slowly and stops processing traffic when memory utilization is critically high. To prevent this issue, make sure that you do not:
    • Switch to the firewall Context on the Panorama management server.
    • Commit changes when a dynamic update is being installed.
    • Generate a custom report when a dynamic update is being installed.
    • Generate custom reports during a commit.
    Workaround: When the firewall performs slowly, or you see a critical System log for memory utilization, wait for 5 minutes and then manually reboot the firewall.
    Use the Task Manager to verify that you are not performing memory intensive tasks such as installing dynamic updates, committing changes or generating reports, at the same time, on the firewall.

    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.1 Addressed Issues.
    The firewall drops IPv6 traffic while enforcing IPv6 bidirectional NAT policy rules because the firewall incorrectly translates the destination address for a host that resides on a directly attached network.
    Workaround: Above the bidirectional rule in your NAT policy, add an NPTv6 rule that specifies no translation and matches the IPv6 address configured on the interface that the firewall uses for traffic to the directly attached network.

    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.2 Addressed Issues.
    An Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) enabled on the firewall goes down after a cisco-nexus primary virtual port channel (vPC) switch LACP peer reboots and comes back up.
    Workaround: Set a hold time on the AE interface by running the debug l2 ctrl dlacp set hold-time CLI command. The hold time (default is 15 seconds) specifies the delay before the firewall processes LACP protocol data units (PDUs) after LACP-enabled interfaces come up.

    On a PA-5000 Series firewall configured to use an IPSec tunnel containing multiple proxy IDs (NetworkIPSec Tunnels<tunnel>Proxy IDs), the firewall drops tunneled traffic after clear text sessions are established on a dataplane other than the first dataplane (DP0).
    Workaround: Use Palo Alto Networks firewalls on both ends of the IPSec tunnel, or use one proxy ID per tunnel, or use only DP0 for establishing clear text sessions (run the set session processing-cpu dp0 CLI command).
    PAN-90301
    The firewall generates false positives during GTP-in-GTP checks because it detects some DNS-in-GTP packets as GTP-in-GTP packets (ObjectsSecurity ProfilesGTP Protection<GTP_Protection_profile>GTP InspectionGTP-U).

    This issue is now resolved. See PAN-OS 8.1.4 Addressed Issues.
    After you disable the Skip Auth on IKE Rekey option in the GlobalProtect gateway, the firewall still applies the option: end users with endpoints that use Extended Authentication (X-Auth) don't have to re-authenticate when the key used to establish the IPSec tunnel expires (NetworkGlobalProtectGateways<gateway>AgentTunnel Settings).
    PAN-83610
    In rare cases, a PA-5200 Series firewall (with an FE100 network processor) that has session offload enabled (default) incorrectly resets the UDP checksum of outgoing UDP packets.
    Workaround: In PAN-OS 8.0.6 and later releases, you can persistently disable session offload for only UDP traffic using the set session udp-off load no CLI command.

    There is an issue where HIP-related objects are missing transformation logic for OPSWAT when using a Panorama 8.1 release to manage firewalls running a PAN-OS 8.0.15 or earlier release.
    Workaround: Ensure all firewalls are running a PAN-OS 8.0.16 or later release.
    PAN-77125
    PA-7000 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-3200 Series firewalls configured in tap mode don’t close offloaded sessions after processing the associated traffic; the sessions remain open until they time out.
    Workaround: Configure the firewalls in virtual wire mode instead of tap mode, or disable session offloading by running the set session offloadno CLI command.
    PAN-75457
    (PAN-OS 8.0.1 and later releases) In WildFire appliance clusters that have three or more nodes, the Panorama management server does not support changing node roles. In a three-node cluster for example, you cannot use Panorama to configure the worker node as a controller node by adding the HA and cluster controller configurations, configure an existing controller node as a worker node by removing the HA configuration, and then commit and push the configuration. Attempts to change cluster node roles from Panorama results in a validation error—the commit fails and the cluster becomes unresponsive.
    PAN-73530
    The firewall does not generate a packet capture (pcap) when a Data Filtering profile blocks files.
    PAN-73401
    (PAN-OS 8.0.1 and later releases) When you import a two-node WildFire appliance cluster into the Panorama management server, the controller nodes report their state as out-of-sync if either of the following conditions exist:
    • You did not configure a worker list to add at least one worker node to the cluster. (In a two-node cluster, both nodes are controller nodes configured as an HA pair. Adding a worker node would make the cluster a three-node cluster.)
    • You did not configure a service advertisement (either by enabling or not enabling advertising DNS service on the controller nodes).
    Workaround: There are three possible workarounds to sync the controller nodes:
    • After you import the two-node cluster into Panorama, push the configuration from Panorama to the cluster. After the push succeeds, Panorama reports that the controller nodes are in sync.
    • Configure a worker list on the cluster controller:
      admin@wf500(active-controller)# set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller worker-list  <worker-ip-address>
      (<worker-ip-address> is the IP address of the worker node you are adding to the cluster.) This creates a three-node cluster. After you import the cluster into Panorama, Panorama reports that the controller nodes are in sync. When you want the cluster to have only two nodes, use a different workaround.
    • Configure service advertisement on the local CLI of the cluster controller and then import the configuration into Panorama. The service advertisement can advertise that DNS is or is not enabled.
      admin@wf500(active-controller)# set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller service-advertisement dns-service enabled
yes
      or
      admin@wf500(active-controller)# set deviceconfig
cluster mode controller service-advertisement

dns-service enabled no
      Both commands result in Panorama reporting that the controller nodes are in sync.
    PAN-72861
    		When you configure a PA-7000 Series or PA-5200 Series firewall to perform tunnel-in-tunnel inspection, which includes GRE keep-alive packets (PoliciesTunnel Inspection<tunnel_inspection_rule>InspectionInspect Options), and you run the clear session all CLI command while traffic is traversing a tunnel, the firewall temporarily drops tunneled packets.

    Local users and user groups in the Shared location (all virtual systems) are not available to be part of the user-to-application mapping for GlobalProtect Clientless VPN applications (NetworkGlobalProtectPortals<portal>Clientless VPNApplications).
    Workaround: Create users and user groups in specific virtual systems on firewalls that have multiple virtual systems. For single virtual systems (like VM-Series firewalls), users and user groups are created under Shared and are not configurable for Clientless VPN applications.
    PAN-70906
    If the PAN-OS web interface and the GlobalProtect portal are enabled on the same IP address, then when a user logs out of the GlobalProtect portal, the administrative user is also logged out from the PAN-OS web interface.
    Workaround: Use the IP address to access the PAN-OS web interface and an FQDN to access the GlobalProtect portal.
    PAN-70023
    Authentication using auto-filled credentials intermittently fails when you access an application using GlobalProtect Clientless VPN.
    Workaround: Manually enter the credentials.
    PAN-69505
    When viewing an external dynamic list that requires client authentication and you Test Source URL, the firewall fails to indicate whether it can reach the external dynamic list server and returns a URL access error (ObjectsExternal Dynamic Lists).
    PAN-62453
    Entering vSphere maintenance mode on a VM-Series firewall without first shutting down the Guest OS for the agent VMs causes the firewall to shut down abruptly, and results in issues after the firewall is powered on again. Refer to Issue 1332563 in the VMware Release Notes.
    Workaround: VM-Series firewalls are Service Virtual Machines (SVMs) pinned to ESXi hosts and you should not migrate those firewalls. Before you enter vSphere maintenance mode, use the VMware tools to ensure a graceful shutdown of the VM-Series firewall.
    PAN-58872
    The automatic license deactivation workflow for firewalls with direct internet access does not work.
    Workaround: Use the request license deactivate key features <name> modemanual CLI command to Deactivate a Feature License_or_Subscription_Using_the_CLI. To Deactivate a VM-Series firewall, choose Complete Manually (instead of Continue) and follow the steps to manually deactivate the VM.

    On the VM-Series for NSX firewall, when you add or modify an NSX service profile zone on Panorama, you must perform a Panorama commit and then push device group configurations with the Include Device and Network Templates option selected (CommitCommit and Push). To successfully redirect traffic to the VM-Series for NSX firewall, you must push both device group and template configurations when you modify the zone configuration to ensure that the zones are available on the firewall.
    PAN-53663
    When you open the SaaS Application Usage report (MonitorPDF ReportsSaaS Application Usage) on multiple tabs in a browser, each for a different virtual system (vsys), and you then attempt to export PDFs from each tab, only the first request is accurate; all successive attempts result in PDFs that are duplicates of the first report.
    Workaround: Export only one PDF at a time and wait for that export process to finish before initiating the next export request.
    PAN-51969
    On the NSX Manager, when you unbind an NSX Security Group from an NSX Security Policy rule, the dynamic tag and registered IP address are updated on the Panorama management server but are not sent to the VM-Series firewalls.
    Workaround: To push the Dynamic Address Group updates to the VM-Series firewalls, you must manually synchronize the configuration with the NSX Manager (select PanoramaVMware Service Manager and select NSX Config-Sync).
    PAN-51952
    If a security group overlap occurs in an NSX Security policy where the same security group is weighted with a higher and a lower priority value, the traffic may be redirected to the wrong service profile (VM-Series firewall instance). This issue occurs because an NSX Security policy with a higher weight does not always take precedence over a policy with a lower weight.
    Workaround: Make sure that members that are assigned to a security group are not overlapping with another Security group and that each security group is assigned to a unique NSX Security policy rule. This allows you to ensure that NSX Security policy does not redirect traffic to the wrong service profile (VM-Series firewall).
    PAN-51870
    When using the CLI to configure the management interface as a DHCP client, the commit fails if you do not provide all four DHCP parameters in the command. For a successful commit when using the set deviceconfig system type dhcp-client configuration mode CLI command, you must include each of the following parameters: accept-dhcp-domain, accept-dhcp-hostname, send-client-id, and send-hostname.

    PAN-51216
    The NSX Manager fails to redirect traffic to the VM-Series firewall when you define new Service Profile zones for NSX on the Panorama management server. This issue occurs intermittently on the NSX Manager when you define security rules to redirect traffic to the new service profiles that are available for traffic introspection and results in the following error:
    Firewall configuration is not in sync with NSX Manager. Conflict with Service Profile Odd hoston service(Palo Alto Networks NGFW) when binding to host<name>.
    PAN-51122

    When you use a Mac OS Safari browser, client certificates will not work for Captive Portal authentication.
    Workaround: On a Mac OS system, instruct end users to use a different browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome).
    PAN-45793
    On a firewall with multiple virtual systems, when you add an authentication profile to a virtual system and give the profile the same name as an authentication sequence in Shared, reference errors occur. The same errors occur if the profile is in Shared and the sequence with the same name is in a virtual system.
    Workaround: When creating authentication profiles and sequences, always enter unique names, regardless of their location. For existing authentication profiles and sequences with similar names, rename the ones that are currently assigned to configurations (such as a GlobalProtect gateway) to ensure uniqueness.
    PAN-43000
    Vulnerability detection of SSLv3 fails when SSL decryption is enabled. This occurs when you attach a Vulnerability Protection profile (that detects SSLv3—CVE-2014-3566) to a Security policy rule and that Security policy rule and a Decryption policy rule are configured on the same virtual system in the same zone. After performing SSL decryption, the firewall sees decrypted data and no longer sees the SSL version number. In this case, the SSLv3 vulnerability is not identified.
    Workaround: PAN-OS 7.0 introduced enhancements to SSL Decryption that enable you to prohibit the inherently weaker SSL/TLS versions, which are more vulnerable to attacks. For example, you can use a Decryption Profile to enforce a minimum protocol version of TLS 1.2 or select Block sessions with unsupported versions to disallow unsupported protocol versions (ObjectsDecryption ProfileSSL Decryption{SSL Forward Proxy | SSL Inbound Inspection}.
    PAN-41558
    When you use a firewall loopback interface as a GlobalProtect gateway interface, traffic is not routed correctly for third-party IPSec clients, such as StrongSwan.
    Workaround: Use a physical firewall interface instead of a loopback firewall interface as the GlobalProtect gateway interface for third-party IPSec clients. Alternatively, configure the loopback interface that is used as the GlobalProtect gateway to be in the same zone as the physical ingress interface for third-party IPSec traffic.

    PAN-39636
    Regardless of the Time Frame you specify for a scheduled custom report on a Panorama M-Series appliance, the earliest possible start date for the report data is effectively the date when you configured the report (MonitorManage Custom Reports). For example, if you configure the report on the 15th of the month and set the Time Frame to Last 30 Days, the report that Panorama generates on the 16th will include only data from the 15th onward. This issue applies only to scheduled reports; on-demand reports include all data within the specified Time Frame.
    Workaround: To generate an on-demand report, click Run Now when you configure the custom report.
    PAN-39501
    The firewall does not clear unused NAT IP address pools after a single commit, so a commit fails when the combined cache of unused pools, existing used pools, and new pools exceeds the memory limit.
    Workaround: Commit a second time, which clears the old pool allocation.
    PAN-38255
    		When you perform a factory reset on a Panorama virtual appliance and configure the serial number, logging does not work until you reboot Panorama or execute the debug software restart process management-server CLI command.

    		Due to a limitation related to the Ethernet chip driving the SFP+ ports, PA-5050 and PA-5060 firewalls will not perform link fault signaling as standardized when a fiber in the fiber pair is cut or disconnected.
    PAN-37177
    After deploying the VM-Series firewall and it connects to the Panorama management server, you must commit to Panorama (CommitCommit to Panorama) to ensure that Panorama recognizes the firewall as a managed device. If you reboot Panorama without committing the changes, the firewall does not reconnect with Panorama; although the device group displays the list of firewalls, the firewall does not display in PanoramaManaged Devices.
    Furthermore, when Panorama has an HA configuration, the VM-Series firewall is not added to the passive Panorama peer until the active Panorama peer synchronizes the configuration. During this time, the passive Panorama peer logs a critical message: vm-cfg: failed to process registration from svm device.vm-state: active. The passive peer logs this message until you commit the changes on the active Panorama, which then initiates synchronization between the Panorama HA peers and the VM-Series firewall is added to the passive Panorama peer.
    Workaround: To reconnect to the managed firewalls, commit your changes to Panorama. In an HA deployment, the commit initiates the synchronization of the running configuration between the Panorama HA peers.
    PAN-36730
    When deleting the VM-Series deployment, all VMs are deleted successfully; however, sometimes a few instances still remain in the datastore.
    Workaround: Manually delete the VM-Series firewalls from the datastore.

    (VM-Series for NSX firewalls only) In some scenarios, traffic from newly added guests or virtual machines is not steered to the VM-Series firewall even when the guests belong to a Security Group and are attached to a Security Policy that redirects traffic to the VM-Series firewall.
    Workaround: Reapply the Security Policy on the NSX Manager.
    PAN-36727
    The VM-Series firewall fails to deploy and displays the following error message: Invalid OVF Format in Agent Configuration.
    Workaround: Use the following command to restart the ESX Agent Manager process on the vCenter Server: /etc/init.d/vmware-vpxd tomcat-restart.

    When you edit a traffic introspection rule (to steer traffic to the VM-Series firewall) on the NSX Manager, an invalid (tcp) port number error or invalid (udp) port number error displays when you remove the destination (TCP or UDP) port.
    Workaround: Delete the rule and add a new one.
    PAN-35875
    When defining traffic introspection rules (to steer traffic to the VM-Series firewall) on the NSX Manager, either the source or the destination for the rule must reference the name of a Security Group; you cannot create a rule from any to any Security Group.
    Workaround: To redirect all traffic to the VM-Series firewall, you must create a Security Group that includes all the guests in the cluster. Then you can define a security policy that redirects traffic from and to the cluster so that the firewall can inspect and enforce policy on the east-west traffic.
    PAN-35874
    Duplicate packets are steered to the VM-Series firewall after you enable distributed vSwitch for steering in promiscuous mode.
    Workaround: Disable promiscuous mode.
    PAN-34966
    On a VM-Series NSX edition firewall, when adding or removing a Security Group (Container) that is bound to a Security Policy, the Panorama management server does not get a dynamic update of the added or removed Security Group.
    Workaround: Select PanoramaVMware Service Manager, and Synchronize Dynamic Objects to initiate a manual synchronization to get the latest update.
    PAN-34855
    		On a VM-Series NSX edition firewall, Dynamic Tags (update) do not reflect the actual IP address set on the guest. This issue occurs because the vCenter Server cannot accurately view the IP address of the guest.
    PAN-31832
    The following issues apply when configuring a firewall to use a hardware security module (HSM):
    • nCipher nShield Connect—The firewall requires at least four minutes to detect that an HSM was disconnected, causing SSL functionality to be unavailable during the delay.
    • SafeNet Network—When losing connectivity to either or both HSMs in an HA configuration, the display of information from the show high-availability state and show hsm info commands are blocked for 20 seconds.
    PAN-25046
    Firewalls store SSH host keys used for SCP log exports in the known hosts file. In an HA deployment, PAN-OS synchronizes the SCP log export configuration between the firewall HA peers (DeviceScheduled Log Export), but not the known host file. When a failover occurs, the SCP log export fails.
    Workaround: Log in to each peer in HA, select DeviceScheduled Log Export<log_export_configuration>, and Test SCP server connection to confirm the host key so that SCP log forwarding continues to work after a failover.
    PAN-23732
    		After you use a Panorama template to push a log export schedule that specifies an SCP server as the destination (DeviceScheduled Log Export), you must log in to each firewall that receives the schedule and Test SCP server connection. The connection is not established until the firewall accepts the host key for the SCP server.
