Editing PAN-OS

PAN-OS is software running on [[Firewall/Palo Alto PA-Series|Palo Alto firewalls]].<ref>https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os</ref> providing [[Firewall]] capabilities, [[QoS]], [[URL Filtering]], [[packet inspection]] and [[threat prevention]] (WildFire).

* Threat prevention ([[WildFire]]). Features: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/wildfire/u-v/wildfire-whats-new/wildfire-features-in-panos-90.html
* PAN-OS daemons: [[RASMGR]], [[SSLMGR]], [[SATD]], [[IDE]], [[Route]] and [[IKE]]
* PAN-OS authentication methods: [[Kerberos]], [[RADIUS]], [[LDAP]], [[SAML]] 2.0, client certificates, biometric sign-in, and a local user database

==Manage Configuration Backups==
The candidate configuration is a copy of the running configuration plus any inactive changes that you made after the
last commit. Backing up versions of the running or candidate configuration enables you to later restore
those versions on the firewall.

===Back Up a Configuration===
Creating configuration backups enables you to later Restore a Configuration. This is useful when you want
to revert the firewall to all the settings of an earlier configuration because you can perform the restoration
as a single operation instead of manually reconfiguring each setting in the current configuration.

Note: When you edit a setting and click OK, the firewall updates the candidate configuration but
does not save a backup snapshot.

'''<u>STEP 1</u>'''

Save a local backup snapshot of the candidate configuration if it contains changes that you
want to preserve in the event the firewall reboots.
These are changes you are not ready to commit—for example, changes you cannot finish in the current
login session.

Perform one of the following tasks based on whether you want to overwrite the default snapshot
(.snapshot.xml) or create a snapshot with a custom name:

1. Overwrite the default snapshot—Click '''Save''' at the top of the web interface.

2. Create a custom-named snapshot:
*Select '''Device > Setup > Operations''' and Save named configuration snapshot.
*Enter a Name for the snapshot or select an existing snapshot to overwrite.
*Click '''OK''' and '''Close'''.

'''<u>STEP 2</u>'''

Export a candidate configuration, a running configuration, or the firewall state information to a
host external to the firewall.

Select '''Device > Setup > Operations''' and click an export option:

'''Export named configuration snapshot''' —Export the current running configuration, a named candidate
configuration snapshot, or a previously imported configuration (candidate or running). The firewall
exports the configuration as an XML file with the Name you specify.

'''Export configuration version''' —Select a Version of the running configuration to export as an XML file.
The firewall creates a version whenever you commit configuration changes.

'''Export device state''' —Export the firewall state information as a bundle. Besides the running
configuration, the state information includes device group and template settings pushed from
Panorama. If the firewall is a GlobalProtect portal, the information also includes certificate
information, a list of satellites, and satellite authentication information. If you replace a firewall or
portal, you can restore the exported information on the replacement by importing the state bundle.

===Restore a Configuration===
This is useful when you want to revert all firewall settings used in an earlier configuration;
you can perform this restoration as a single operation instead of manually reconfiguring each setting in the
current configuration.

The firewall automatically saves a new version of the running configuration whenever you commit changes
and you can restore any of those versions. However, you must manually save a candidate configuration to
later restore it.

1. Restore the current running configuration.
This operation undoes all the changes you made to the candidate configuration since the last commit.
* Select '''Device > Setup > Operations''' and Revert to running configuration.
* Click '''Yes''' to confirm the operation.

2. Restore the default snapshot of the candidate configuration.
This is the snapshot that you create or overwrite when you click '''Save''' at the top right of the web
interface.
*Select '''Device > Setup > Operations''' and Revert to last saved configuration.
*Click '''Yes''' to confirm the operation.
*(Optional) Click Commit to overwrite the running configuration with the snapshot.

3. Restore a previous version of the running configuration that is stored on the firewall.
The firewall creates a version whenever you commit configuration changes.

*Select ''''Device > Setup > Operations'''' and Load configuration version.
*Select a configuration Version and click '''OK.'''
*(Optional) Click Commit to overwrite the running configuration with the version you just restored.

4. Restore one of the following:
5. Current running configuration (named running-config.xml)
6. Custom-named version of the running configuration that you previously imported
7. Custom-named candidate configuration snapshot (instead of the default snapshot)
*'''Select Device > Setup > Operations''' and click Load named configuration snapshot.
*Select the snapshot '''Name''' and click '''OK.'''
*(Optional) Click Commit to overwrite the running configuration with the snapshot.

8. Restore a running or candidate configuration that you previously exported to an external host.
*Select '''Device > Setup > Operations''', click Import named configuration snapshot, Browse to the configuration file on the external host, and click OK.
*Click '''Load named configuration snapshot,''' select the Name of the configuration file you just imported, and click '''OK.'''
*(Optional) Click Commit to overwrite the running configuration with the snapshot you just imported.

9. Restore state information that you exported from a firewall.
Besides the running configuration, the state information includes device group and template settings
pushed from Panorama. If the firewall is a GlobalProtect portal, the information also includes certificate
information, a list of satellites, and satellite authentication information. If you replace a firewall or portal,
you can restore the information on the replacement by importing the state bundle.
Import state information:
*Select '''Device > Setup > Operations,''' click '''Import device state,''' Browse to the state bundle, and click '''OK.'''
*(Optional) Click Commit to apply the imported state information to the running configuration.
