PAN OS Upgrade recomendation on latest 10.2.11 released 8/13/24 Currently Monitoring

[PCI_Network]

Hi all,

The PAN OS we used now is in 10.2.8. I have information from the link: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/customer-resources/support-pan-os-software-release-guidance/ta-...

and it said that the latest release 10.2.11 release on 13 Aug 2024 currently under monitoring (believ it is not "preferred" version yet). 

May I know is it this information still true and how to counter verify this? Any body can advise is this latest version suitable to be used for patching now? 

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Hi @PCI_Network ,

Currently 10.2.9-h1 is the preferred version in the 10.2.x train.

As you say, 10.2.11 is NOT yet a preferred version but you are free to use it in case you need any of the fixes mentioned in the release notes:

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-release-notes/pan-os-10-2-11-known-and-addresse...

I recommend subscribing to the PAN-OS Software Release Guidance Page so that you will be updated whenever there's an update (eg. new preferred release).

Kind regards,

-Kim.
