Looking for a genuine factory-default PA-Series running-config.xml for audit-tool development

[adithyakrishna2000.r]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a firewall configuration-audit/parser tool and I'm looking for a genuine factory-default Palo Alto Networks firewall configuration for testing.

I'm interested in any PA-Series firewall. A PA-5220 would be preferred, but configurations from other PA-Series models are also useful.

PAN-OS 11.x would be preferred, but configurations from other recent PAN-OS versions are also useful.

What I'm looking for:

- A configuration exported from a freshly factory-reset Palo Alto firewall
- Preferably the actual running-config.xml
- A candidate-config.xml or other genuine configuration export is also useful
- No PAN-OS software/image is required
- No license is required
- No customer configuration is required

Please remove/redact any sensitive or device-specific information, including:

- Serial numbers
- Public IP addresses
- Password hashes
- API keys/tokens
- Private keys
- Certificates where necessary
- Customer hostnames/domains
- VPN secrets
- Any other sensitive information

I'm specifically trying to understand what PAN-OS actually contains in a factory-default configuration versus configuration that only appears after an administrator configures a feature.

For example, I'm interested in the factory state of:

- deviceconfig
- management settings
- interfaces
- virtual routers
- zones
- security policies
- NAT
- address objects
- service objects
- security profiles
- authentication/AAA
- SNMP
- logging
- NTP/DNS
- Panorama settings
- GlobalProtect
- VPN/IPsec
- certificates
- default/system-created objects

I would particularly appreciate the actual running-config.xml exported immediately after factory reset / initial setup.

I'm NOT looking for PAN-OS software, firmware images, licenses, or unofficial download sources.

I only need a sanitized configuration exported from a legitimate Palo Alto firewall.

Any PA-Series model is useful. PA-5220 running PAN-OS 11.x would be especially helpful.

Thanks!
