User-ID Agent

Hello!

I have a Palo Alto with version 9.1.5 installed and I want to install a User-ID Agent, which version can I install?

Palo Alto keeps releasing a new version of User-ID agent to keep numbering in sync with the PAN-OS releases, however feature wise in two latest releases 10.1 and 10.2 there is no new feature introduced since version 9.1. User-ID agent is in general forwards and backwards compatible with Firewall PAN-OS. Personally I would recommend install latest version of User-ID agent 10.2. If you prefer to keep User-ID agent version number in pair with PAN-OS, then you can still install User-ID agent 9.1, however do not forget to upgrade it when it is end of life in December 2023.

Kind Regards

Pavel

@monitoreonetrix,

You need to upgrade that firewall. Your current version of PAN-OS if you're still running PAN-OS 9.1.5 is subject to multiple existing CVEs with a whole laundry list of bug fixes.
