L3Svc process stopping automatically on PA-3020 firewall

tamilvanan — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 08:11:07 GMT

Hi Folks,

We are facing issue with the captive portal and had seen that the l3svc processor is not running. We had tried to restart the l3svc process and the mgmt plane process but no luck. our firewall was previously running on PAN-OS 9.1.13h3 and we had downgraded to 9.1.10 and checked but no luck.

We had rebooted the firewall again also. Checked the cord processor and could see the below logs on the file:

We suspect this might be an bug. Also seen crash files on the firewall.

Cord:
