PCNSE Exam - Question 574


A security engineer wants to upgrade the company's deployed firewalls from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x to take advantage of the newTLSv1.3 support for management access.

What is the recommended upgrade path procedure from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

The correct upgrade path from PAN-OS 10.1 to 11.0.x takes advantage of the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature, which allows for upgrading directly from PAN-OS 10.1 to PAN-OS 11.0.x. Therefore, while it is optional to install the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.1 maintenance release and the latest preferred PAN-OS 10.2 maintenance release, the necessary steps include downloading PAN-OS 11.0.0 and then the desired PAN-OS 11.0.x version.

Not sure to be honest! https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-0/pan-os-upgrade/upgrade-pan-os/upgrade-the-firewall-pan-os/determine-the-upgrade-path#id85bdf6f4-2e83-49f0-8525-3eb2163f2d2e You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0. So none of these answers fit. B might be the closest I suppose.

Yep Def B, didn't see the optional at first, so you can simply go from 10.1 to 11.0.x

B, thanks to "Skip Software Version Upgrade". Remember to always read the determine upgrade path document.

D seems as the best option, if it weren't for the fact that B says that installing the latest 10.1.X is optional, as it is the only one that says it and that is true. This makes B the simplest option and the only correct one, as it allows you to skip an upgrade to that most recent 10.1.X. My only fear when selecting B as an answer is the fact that it doesn't mention downloading 10.2.0, but I guess it is implied in installing it... Or isn't it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

D 10.1.x You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0

Correction B not D 10.1.x You can now use the Skip Software Version Upgrade feature to skip software versions when upgrading your device from PAN-OS 10.1 or later releases. If you are already running a PAN-OS 10.1 release, you can upgrade directly to PAN-OS 11.0
