This port is used by the ION device to communicate with the Prisma SD-WAN controller. Internet/Peering Ports These ports on the ION 7000 are used as internet ports or peering ports. SFP Ports These ports are used for 10 gigabit connectivity in copper or fiber form factors.
ION 7000 Front Panel with LEDs The ION 7000 LEDs indicate the following status: Icons Description Displays power status. Blue light—Powered on. No light—Powered off. Displays controller connectivity status. Blue light—Connected. No light—Not Connected. ION 7000 HARDWARE REFERENCE | ION 7000 Overview 2021 Palo Alto Networks, Inc.
ION 7000 Specifications The following are the device specifications of ION 7000: Specification Description Place in Network Large, remote office data center. Controller Ports 2 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 WAN/LAN/Internet Ports 6 x 10 GE SFP+8 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45, port pairs 5/6 and 7/8 have programmable inline fail-to-wire capability for use in branch device mode.
ION 7000 Installation Kit Components The ION 7000 installation kit contains the following parts and tools to install the device: • 2x 19-inch 1U rack mount sliding rails built-in with quick-attach square hole adapters. • 4x Rail slides with accompanying screws.
Press the power switch 5 times (press and hold for 1 second, then, release) to shut down the device. Reboot the ION 7000 Press the power switch 3 or 4 times to reboot the ION 7000. ION 7000 HARDWARE REFERENCE | ION 7000 Overview...

• 19-inch slide lock ears The ION 7000 accessory kit contains slide lock ears for the front sides of the ION 7000. Use these ears to prevent the ION 7000 from detaching from the rack after they are fully installed.
1. Insert the slide rails into a standard 19-inch rack making sure that the rails snap into place. 2. Attach the chassis-mounting brackets to either side of the ION 7000. 3. Slide the ION 7000 into the rack and confirm that the device is installed securely in the rack. If the rack has threaded round holes: 1.
Orient the front bracket of both rails in the same direction. STEP 2 | Mount the rails securely and then insert the ION 7000 into the front of the sliding rails. The following figure illustrate the ION 7000 rack mounting the sliding rails: ION 7000 HARDWARE REFERENCE | Install the ION 7000 2021 Palo Alto Networks, Inc.
Install the ION 7000 in Virtual In-Path Configuration The ION 7000 uses a virtual in-path concept to allow the system to perform SD-WAN operations on as it enters and exits the data center. This mode of operation allows the ION 7000 cluster to: •...
This internet port must allow inbound UDP 4500 to the ION 7000 from remote ION devices. If a firewall or NAT is used outside the ION 7000 on this port, UDP 4500 needs to be port-forwarded or passed-through from the firewall or NAT device.
There is no additional configuration required on the second ION device, except for IP addresses. Both the ION 7000 devices peer with the same core and WAN edge routers. The second ION device inherits the same BGP configuration as the first device.
