How to know when a PAN-OS version is target or recommended?

[aromero]

Hi,

I want to know if PaloAlto have a link for know when a PAN-OS version is cataloged as target or recommended.

For example, 8.0.9 is target? or 8.1.1?

Thanks,

AROMERO

@aromero,

This information is generally controlled by TAC and isn't really published anywhere. You can either open a support ticket (which will get answered usually simply via an email response) or you can ask here and we can tell you as a community what we were told was recommended the last time we asked TAC. 

Last I heard 8.0.8 was still the highest recommended 8.0.* release, however 8.0.9 is likely to move into recommended status shortly if it hasn't done so already. 

8.1.* so far doesn't have a recommended release. If you are intent on running 8.1 then I would recommend that you install 8.1.1 as it addresses a long list of issues present in 8.1.0.

Thanks, I will try to open a ticket with the TAC.

Kind regards

What about a stable version for pan-os 7.1.x, I am looking at upgrading to 7.1.17 and later as advised by the vendor to mitigate against the vulnerability below:

Denial of Service in PAN-OS Management Web Interface

PAN-SA-2018-0008

Is there any version later than 7.1.17 is is stable and recommended by the vendor in the past to anyone.

8.1.4 is recommended, if PAN-OS 8.1 software features or hardware is required.

8.0.13 in the 8.0 branch

7.1.20 in the 7.1 branch

Cheers !
