Symptom


Symptoms

Runtime link state (speed/duplex) shows 'unknown/unknown' when you run a command 'show interface management' on VM-Series Firewalls.

 

> show interface management
 
-----------------------------------------------------
Name: Management Interface
Link status:
  Runtime link speed/duplex/state: unknown/unknown/up
  Configured link speed/duplex/state: auto/auto/auto

 

Diagnosis

Resolution


This is expected behaviour in PAN-OS 8.0 and earlier.

 

You can find the speed/duplex state from the message in sysdagent.log which is generated when the link negotiation is performed or the link settings are changed.
