Release Upgrade Consideraons
10.0
If you are using an LFC
with a PA-7000 Series
Firewall, when you
upgrade to PAN-OS
10.0, you must configure
the management plane
or dataplane interface
for the service route
because the LFC ports
do not support the
requirements for the
service route. We
recommend using the
dataplane interface for
the Data Services service
route.
