Which command is used to check the current configuration on a Palo Alto device?

The command to check the current configuration on a Palo Alto device is "show config running." This command is specifically designed to display the live, active configuration of the device. It provides insights into the settings that are currently in effect and allows administrators to verify and review configurations directly.

Understanding the context of this command within the Palo Alto Networks operating system is important. The "show config running" command pulls the current running configuration from the device’s memory, ensuring that any changes made to the configuration that have not yet been committed are also reflected in the output. This enables network administrators to confirm the effectiveness of recent adjustments or troubleshoot issues arising from configuration settings.

Other options do not provide the same level of detail or are not standard commands for viewing configurations in the Palo Alto context. Therefore, "show config running" is the appropriate choice for reviewing the current configuration of a Palo Alto device.
