• PA-Series Next-Generation Firewall
• PAN-OS 8.1 or later

There is a limit to the number of security rules for each platform.
This limit can be checked from the CLI with the "show system state filter cfg.general.max-policy-rule" command.

> show system state filter cfg.general.max-policy-rule
cfg.general.max-policy-rule: 40000

If the limit of the number of security rules is exceeded, the following error message will be output and the commit job will fail.

Error: Number of security rules (40023) exceeds platform capacity (40000)

Delete the security rules as necessary so that the number of security rules is less than the capacity of the platform.
