Management Features
What new management features are in PAN-OS 11.0?
New Management Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Skip Software Version Upgrade | You can now upgrade and downgrade standalone and
Panorama managed devices running 10.1 or later more efficiently
by skipping up to three software
versions. You can skip either two major releases and one
minor release, or one major release and two minor releases. The
ability to skip multiple software releases during an upgrade or
downgrade shortens the time needed for the maintenance window and
enables you to take advantage of the latest PAN-OS innovations more
quickly. This feature also enhances the capabilities of the multi-image
download option and pre-install validation check, which reduces
the number of steps in the process. |
| TLSv1.3 Support for Management Access | PAN-OS 11.0 introduces two management configuration
options that let you define TLSv1.3 as your preferred TLS
protocol and select a TLSv1.3 certificate. You can use the new settings
to specify the TLS versions and certificates your management interface supports
outside of SSL/TLS service profiles. For example, you can select tlsv1.3_only TLS mode
for a faster, more secure connection that meets your regulatory
requirements. |
Multi-Vsys Capability for the PA-400
Series Firewalls | Multiple virtual systems featuring shared
gateway support are now available for most PA-400 Series firewalls
with a multi-vsys license. PA-440 firewalls support up to two virtual
systems. PA-450 and PA-460 firewalls support up to five virtual
systems. |

Strata Cloud Manager Command Center
|
The Strata Cloud Manager
Command Center is your new NetSec homepage; it is
your first stop to assess the health, security, and efficiency of
your network. In a single view, the command center shows you all
users and IoT devices accessing the internet, SaaS applications, and
private apps, and how Prisma Access, your NGFWs, and your security
services are protecting them.
The command center provides you with four different views,
each with its own tracked data, metrics, and actionable insights to
examine and interact with:
When the command center surfaces an issue through one of
these views that you should address or investigate (an anomaly, a
security gap, a degraded user experience, something that impacts the
security and health of your network), it provides a path to where
you can take actions to further secure your network.

View Preferred and Base Releases of PAN-OS
Software PAN-OS 11.0.5 and later 11.0
releases |
The Panorama web interface now displays the preferred releases and
the corresponding base releases of PAN-OS software. Before you
upgrade or downgrade Panorama or PAN-OS, you can view the list of
preferred and base releases and choose your preferred target PAN-OS
release. Preferred releases offer the latest and the most advanced
features and ensure stability and performance. When there are no
preferred releases available, the corresponding base version is not
displayed. If necessary, you can choose to view either preferred
releases or base releases.
