recommended version of Panorama 8.1?

MP18 — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:59:05 GMT

I have new PA that has come with 8.1 version.

Currently we have PA and PAnorama running on version 8.0.9.

Which is the recommended version of PAnorama in 8.1?

If you're running a PA-3200 then the best option would be 8.1.4 - if not 8.1.3.

PAN-OS 8.1.4 is too at this time to say whether it's recommended or not but it should be noted that no 8.1 version has been marked as "recommended" as of yet.

Hey,

As I mentioned, 8.1.4 has just been released so it's too early to "recommend" this version yet.

For the models where PAN-OS 8.1 isn't a minimum version (PA-200, 3020 etc) I would recommend PAN-OS 8.0.12 which is indeed recommended. The Panorama will still successfully be able to manage a firewall on PAN-OS 8.0.12 if the Panorama is on a 8.1 release.

For the moment, I would run Panorama on 8.1.4, PA-3200 on 8.1.4, PA-5200 on 8.1.3 and the rest on 8.0.12. If you face any issues with the devices on 8.1.4 you should downgrade them to 8.1.3
