To ensure that you do not commit a configuration change that inadvertently causes the firewall to lose connectivity to Panorama, PAN-OS 9.1 can automatically revert the Panorama and firewall configuration to the previous running configuration. For example, if you perform configuration changes to the service routes, and as a result the change blocks traffic from the firewall to Panorama, the firewall’s hourly connectivity checks can trigger Automatic Panorama Connection Recovery to revert the configuration back to the last running configuration to restore the connection to Panorama. This recovery ensures that a configuration change won’t cause a loss in productivity or require you to physically access the firewall.
