Symptom


After PAN-OS upgrade, commit fails with the following validation error:
Validation Error:
application-filter -> http 'http' is already in use
application-filter is invalid
Commit failed


Environment


  • Any Palo Alto Networks Firewall
  • PAN-OS versions:
    • 10.1.11 and above
    • 10.2.8 and above
    • 11.0.3 and above
    • 11.1.0 and above


Cause


An additional check was introduced with PAN-214987 that disallows the use of certain names that may match or include internal protocol names.

Resolution


  1. Rename application filter 'http' to a unique name such as 'http_filter' using the CLI:
> configure
# rename shared application-filter http to http_filter
# exit
  1. Vsys specific command is as below
> configure
# rename vsys vsys1 application-filter http to http_filter  >> (change vsys1 to the required vsys)
# exit
  1. "Commit" the changes.


Additional Information


Note:
The rename must be done from the CLI. Attempting to rename the application-filter via the GUI will result in the error:
http 'http' is already in use
