Question

While monitoring the health of the connected firewalls in Panorama, you discover the "Last Commit State" has "commit failed" listed for one of the firewalls. What is a possible step you would take to try and start resolving the problem?

Answer 1

To resolve a 'commit failed' message in Panorama, review Panorama and firewall logs for specific error messages, manually commit from the firewall for more details, check software version compatibility, and confirm network connectivity between Panorama and the firewall.

Step-by-step explanation:

When encountering a "commit failed" message for a firewall in Panorama, the first step towards resolution would be to check the Panorama and firewall logs for errors related to the failed commit. Review the logs for any specific error messages or codes that can point to the root cause of the issue. If the logs do not provide sufficient information, attempting a manual commit from the firewall itself could yield more detailed error messages. Additionally, ensure that the Panorama and firewall are running compatible software versions, and check the network connectivity between Panorama and the firewall to ensure the commit command can be transmitted successfully.
