Set Up A ConnecOn To The Firewall - PaloAlto Networks PA-400 Series Hardware Reference Manual

Install the PA-400 Series Firewall
Set Up a Connecon to the Firewall
On first startup, the PA-400 Series firewall boots into Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) mode by
default. ZTP mode allows you to automate the provisioning process of a new firewall that is added
to a management server. To learn more about ZTP, see
PA-400 Series firewall online in standard mode. See the instrucons below to learn how to boot in
ZTP or standard mode.
If you have already booted up the firewall and selected the wrong mode, you must perform
a factory reset or private-data-reset before connuing.
• Reset the Firewall to Factory Default Sengs
• To use the private-data-reset command, you must access the firewall CLI and enter the
command request system private-data-reset. This command will remove
all logs and restore the default configuraon.
ZTP mode is disabled if FIPS-CC mode is enabled. If the firewall boots with FIPS-CC mode
enabled, the firewall will automacally boot in standard mode.
STEP 1 |
Use an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the device to the correct port. The port(s) connected
will depend on which mode you intend the firewall to run in.
• (Standard mode) Connect the Ethernet cable from the MGT port on the firewall to the RJ-45
port of your network switch.
• (ZTP mode) Connect the Ethernet cable from the ZTP port (Ethernet port 1) on the firewall
to your network switch.
STEP 2 | Confirm that the connecon to the MGT port or Ethernet port 1 has an acve network
switch.
An acve switch allows the firewall to trigger a "link up" state on the port you
connected to for your desired boot mode.
STEP 3 | (Standard mode
access to the firewall CLI to respond to a prompt during bootup. Connect a console cable
from the firewall console port to your computer. Once the firewall is powered on, use a
terminal emulator such as PuTTY to access the CLI. See
PA-400 Series Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Reference
