View Firewall Power Statistics

This topic provides details on how to view active power statistics on a PA-7000 Series firewall.You can
view the power that each power supply is producing and the power rating for each hardware component
for power planning purposes.
This information will help you when you "Determine Power Configuration Requirements" on page 70.
The power numbers provided by the show chassis power command
represent power calculated by the chassis power management software and does
not represent the exact measured power. The difference allows margin for thermal
conditions and component aging factors. For example, although an NPC shows
that it is using 350 watts, under normal conditions it may use only 290 watts. This
CLI output helps you know how much power is required to prevent the chassis from
overloading under extreme conditions.
1. Using a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, launch an SSH session to the firewall.
2. Run the following command:
admin@PA-7080> show chassis power
3. View the output for information on the status of each component and the current power rating.
For example, Table 22 shows the CLI output (in table format) from a PA-7080 with four power supplies
and six NPCs installed. The output shows each front slot (1 to 12), the installed power supplies and fan
trays, the status of each component, the rated power consumption for each component, and the amount
of power produced by each power supply. The power supplies are labeled PSA1 to PSA4 and PSB1 to
PSB4.
