Pa-800 Front Panel - Palo Alto PA-800 Series Hardware Reference Manual

PA-800 Front Panel

The following image shows the front panel of the PA-800 Series firewall and the table describes each front
panel component. The only differences between the PA-820 (shown) and PA-850 front panel is the model
name and the Ethernet port speeds as described in the table.
Item Component
1 Ethernet ports 1 through 4
2 SFP ports 5 through 8
3 SFP/SFP+ ports 9 through 12
PA-800 SERIES NEXT-GEN FIREWALL HARDWARE REFERENCE | PA-800 Firewall Overview
Description
Four RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic.
You can set the link speed and duplex or choose auto-
negotiate.
Four small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports for network
traffic.
These ports are for network traffic and their speed varies
depending on your firewall and configuration.
PA-820 Firewalls
Four 1Gbps SFP ports; you cannot reconfigure these
ports.
PA-850 Firewalls
Four 1Gbps SFP ports or four 10Gbps SFP+ ports
(default); you can specify which you want to use but you
cannot mix the two.
You can install up to 4 of the same type transceivers (SFP
or SFP+) as needed but if you install SFP transceivers,
then you also need to reconfigure ports 9 through 12 (as a
group) to SFP using the command line interface (CLI).
To confirm the current settings for these four ports, run
the following command:
admin@PA-850> show system setting
ports-9-12-speedDevice Ports 9-12 mode:
sfp+
The output shows that the ports are set to SFP+. If the
firewall is not already set to the correct port type for your
transceivers, use the set system setting ports-9-12-speed
command. For example, if the output shows that these
ports are set to SFP+ and you are using SFP transceivers,
then run the following commands to change the port type
from SFP+ to SFP and then restart the firewall to apply
the change:
