7.0 will reach EOL in december so it is recommended to migrate to 7.1

7.1.10&.11

Hi @Betchem

According to the latest notification I received from my local SE in Vancouver, BC.

The eTAC Recommended Release for PAN-OS is PAN-OS 7.1.10. For customers on older code releases, we recommend PAN-OS 6.1.17.

• We are no longer recommending PAN-OS 7.1.9 per the following advisory: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Customer-Advisories/UPDATED-06-19-Important-information-regardi...
• User-ID Agent 7.0.7 is recommended
• GlobalProtect 3.1.6 and 4.0.0 are recommended.

PAN-OS 8.0:

• PAN-OS 8.0.0 is the minimum required version for the new VM-50, VM-500, VM-700, PA-220, PA-800 Series and PA-5200 Series.
• The new User-ID Agent 8.0.x and GlobalProtect 4.0.x are both tied to PAN-OS 8.0
• We are still monitoring PAN-OS 8.0.3 as this is a new release, before providing any recommendations

EOL Reminder:

• PAN-OS 7.0 support has been extended and will become EOL on December 4, 2017

I hope this helps,

Willian

Does EOL also mean end of support?
