Is Pan OS 3.1.4 stable?

jputham — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:40:08 GMT

I currently have PanOS 3.1.2. All my devices are currently in tap mode. It was recommended to upgrade to Pan OS 3.1.4 due to a bug in the 3.1.2. Does any one know what the bug is and also would like to know if 3.1.4 stable?

Of course there are known issues in 3.1.4 too, check that document. Some of these probably impact you.

Addressed Issues in 3.1.4.

The following issues have been addressed in this release:
• [21676] PA-2000 series devices may become unresponsive.
• [21641] An admin with the device administrator role cannot create local users.
• [21620] URL category does not show up properly when logs are forwarded via syslog or
SNMP.
• [21610] If errors occur when generating a certificate in the UI, the window must be closed
and reopened to correct the issues and regenerate.
• [21546] Changing the continue timeout in a URL profile does not immediately take effect.
• [21544] An imported inbound inspection certificate with a long name cannot be
subsequently deleted.
• [21504] After a factory-reset, the default web certificate uses SHA256 which is not
compatible with Internet Explorer.

then synchronization will fail and passive device will incorrectly indicate that
configuration is in sync.
• [21396] The IKE dead-peer detection mechanism may inappropriately detect failure,
causing tunnel connections to fail.

• [21052] Occasionally user to IP mapping is corrupted and users are unnecessarily
presented with a captive portal login page.
• [20991] Content updates may be partially synced to an HA peer even when syncing is
disabled, causing unpredictable content versions on the peer.
