PA-3200 Series Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Reference
Descripon
Twelve RJ-45 10Mbps/100Mpbs/1Gbps ports for
network traffic. The link speed and link duplex are
auto-negoate only.
These ports vary depending on your firewall model:
• PA-3220 firewall—Ports 13 through 16 are SFP
(1Gbps) and ports 17 through 20 are SFP or SFP+
(10Gbps) based on the installed transceiver.
• PA-3250 and PA-3260 firewalls—Ports 13
through 20 are SFP (1Gbps) or SFP+ (10Gbps)
based on the installed transceiver.
(PA-3260 only) Four QSFP+ (40Gbps) ports as
defined by the IEEE 802.3ba standard.
One SFP+ (10Gbps) port (supports only an SFP+
transceiver or passive SFP+ cable).
Use this port to connect two PA-3200 Series
firewalls in a high availability (HA) configuraon as
follows:
• In an acve/passive configuraon, this port is for
HA2 (data link).
