Reads the export, not the device
ConfigProof reads a configuration export. This control is evaluated against the objects in that file, and it reports what the file says. It does not connect to the device and sees no traffic, so a finding here describes the configuration, not what the firewall is doing right now.
Why it matters
QoS policy only sorts traffic into classes; an interface with QoS enabled is what shapes it. Without one the rules read as prioritization and nothing is prioritized.
How to fix it
Web interface
The steps below are written for the web interface. A finding raised on your own export carries the same steps with your object names filled in.
- Enable QoS on the egress interfaces the rules were written for, with a QoS profile.
- Or remove the QoS rules if shaping is no longer intended.
Command line
PAN-OS CLI
set network qos interface <interface> interface-name <interface>set network qos interface <interface> regular-traffic default-group qos-profile <qos-profile>
An example. Values in angle brackets are yours to supply; a finding on your own export fills in the names it read. Nothing here commits. Review the candidate configuration, then commit it yourself.
Read it back
show network qos interface <interface>Values to fill in2
- <interface>
- The interface to change
- <qos-profile>
- The QoS profile
Before you type it1
- QoS needs a profile with bandwidth in it and an interface that uses the profile. One without the other shapes nothing.
How to confirm the fix
- Confirm one egress interface or more shows QoS enabled with a profile.
- Confirm traffic lands in the intended classes, from the QoS statistics on the device.
Limits
- No limitation is recorded for this control beyond the one that applies to all of them: it reads a configuration export.
Compliance references
No benchmark recommendation is mapped to this control in this version.
More in QoS
- PAN-SEC-070QoS is enabled on an interface that shapes nothing
- PAN-SEC-071QoS rule assigns a class with no bandwidth anywhere
- PAN-SEC-072QoS class has a priority and no guaranteed bandwidth
- PAN-SEC-073QoS rule matches all traffic
- PAN-SEC-084QoS is enabled on an interface and no QoS policy rule classifies traffic

One complete analysis of one firewall costs nothing. A card is required and nothing is charged.
