Issue
Getting the following error while attempting to commit
Error: pan_read_full(comm_utils.c:97): srvr: fatal recv error. sock=3 err=Connection reset by peer
Resolution
This error happens when the configuration file is corrupted.
To resolve this issue, load a previously working named configuration by following this procedure:
- Reboot the appliance while connected to the serial console
- Type maint (or m) to enter maintenance mode
- Enter "MA1NT" for password (without the quotes)
- Load saved config (saved_named_config)
- Reboot
Another workaround is to restore the firewall to factory defaults.
