Question
Why is the option "Select Running Config" Empty in the Maintenance Mode?
Environment
- Palo Alto Firewalls
- Supported PAN-OS
- Maintenance Mode
Answer
- In PAN-OS maintenance mode, "Select Running Config" only displays saved named configuration snapshots, including those automatically saved when:
- When no such named configuration exists, no configuration is displayed.
- If there is no named configuration, the firewall will load the default configuration and come up.
- As a general practice, always save a named configuration snapshot prior to and after any configuration change.
