Resolution


Type the below commands  to view all the configurations on your firewall in the CLI.

 

Tarang@chnlab-fw72(active)> set cli config-output-format set
Tarang@chnlab-fw72(active)> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]

 

Tarang@chnlab-fw72(active)# show

This will show you all the configurations on the box in cli view

 

 

set deviceconfig system ip-address 10.50.243.72
set deviceconfig system netmask 255.255.255.0
set deviceconfig system update-server updates.paloaltonetworks.com
set deviceconfig system update-schedule threats recurring weekly day-of-week wednesday
set deviceconfig system update-schedule threats recurring weekly at 01:02

 

Note: If you have created any custom URL category first import the same by the below  method before importing the Url filtering profiles

 

I created a Custom url filtering profile  named as my_custom  if you will search the custom category  in my case I have set the action as overried for this custom URL 

[     type / and then Enter the name of the Custom URL for example    /my_custom   ]
