PA-7000 Series Firewall Log Forwarding Card (LFC)

The Log Forwarding Card (LFC) is a high-performance log card that forwards all dataplane logs (traffic and
threat for example) from the firewall to one or more external logging systems, such as Panorama or a syslog
server. Because the dataplane logs are no longer available on the local firewall, the ACC tab is removed
from the management web interface and Monitor > Logs contain only management logs (Configuration,
System, and Alarms).
There is one LFC model used for both the PA-7050 and PA-7080 firewalls. On the PA-7050 firewall, you
must install the LFC in slot 8 and on the PA-7080 firewall you must install the LFC in slot 7.
Use the following topics to learn about system and hardware requirements, descriptions of the LFC
components, and how to interpret the LEDs.

Description
The LED is off during normal operation.
The LED is green if the drive is powered.
The LED is off if the drive is not receiving power.
Description
Two quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP/QSFP+)
10Gbps/40Gbps Ethernet ports as defined by the IEEE 802.3ba
standard.
Port 1 operates at 10Gbps and port 9 operates at 40Gbps. Both
of these ports share the same LED and are differentiated by
color. Green indicates 10Gbps and yellow indicates 40Gbps. As
of PAN-OS 9.0, ports 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 are disabled and
LACP is not supported.
Configure the ports in Device > Log Forwarding Card.
