Symptom


Incorrect "detail-version" major version information in exported xml config file.
For example, although the PAN-OS version is 10.2.x, exported running-config.xml has the following lines. It shows "10.1.14."

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config version="10.2.0" urldb="paloaltonetworks" detail-version="10.1.14">
  <mgt-config>
    <users>

Commit works even under this condition. Other abnormal firewall behavior is not observed.



Environment


PAN-OS
Exported xml config file



Cause


It could happen after uploading and committing an old config to the firewall.

 



Resolution


Please follow the below steps to fix this condition.

Steps: change detail-version= from "10.1.11" to "10.2.4"

  1. (Commit any required changes if you have)
  2. Export running-config.xml
  3. Rename it to a unique name (like detversion-10.2.4.xml)
  4. Open it and edit detail-version= from "10.1.11" to "10.2.4"
  5. Save it
  6. Import this file (in this case, detversion-10.2.4.xml) to the firewall
  7. Load this config file (in this case, detversion-10.2.4.xml)
  8. (Just in case) do config audit between "Local Running" and "Local Candidate" then confirm it shows "These versions are identical"
  9. Commit
  10. Export running-config.xml and check if it overrides detail-version information

* If you have any concerns in the steps, please do enough tests in your test environment.
