Compatibility between Panorama 8.0 and PA-FW 7.0 and 7.1

[Mohammad.Qasem]

did any one try to manage PA 7.0 and 7.1 with Panoramma running 8.0 ??

is it supported ?

any known issues ?

we are managing more than 100 PA-FW running 7.0 and 7.1 using panorama 7.1

recently we started to add PA-800 which doesnot support OS 7 is it safe to upgrade Panorama to 8.0

Hi @Mohammad.Qasem,

Check out this article (Check out the section on dependencies) :

If firewall is running	Panorama versions supported
PAN-OS 6.1.x	6.1.x, 7.0.x, 7.1.x
PAN-OS 7.0.x	7.0.x, 7.1.x, 8.0.x
PAN-OS 7.1.x	7.1.x, 8.0.x
PAN-OS 8.0.x	8.0.x

Panorama should be running the same or one version higher of feature release than the firewall (up to two feature versions is supported but not recommended).

Cheers,

I have panorama running 8.0.2 with firewalls on 7.1.6 for now, no issues.
