Here are recommended system requirements for deploying the CN-Series firewall across its
multiple supported modes.
PAN-OS 10.1
The following table shows the system
requirements for the cluster on which the CN-Series is deployed.
These values are general guidelines for CPU, memory, and disk storage;
the amount of resources you deploy might vary depending on your
needs.
The CN-Series Medium is not available for the CN-Series
as a Daemonset.
Resource | CN-MGMT-Small | CN-NGFW-Small | CN-MGMT-Medium | CN-NGFW-Medium | CN-MGMT-Large | CN-NGFW-Large |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Memory (Minimum) | 3GB |
| 3GB | 6GB | 4GB | 48GB |
CPU Min | 2 (Recommended) | 2 (Recommended) | 2 (Recommended) | 4 (Recommended) | 4 (Recommended) | 12 (Recommended) |
CPU Max | N/A | 31 | N/A | 31 | N/A | 31 |
Disk | 50GB | N/A | 50GB | N/A | 50GB | N/A |
PAN-OS 10.2 and later
Here are our recommended system requirements for deploying the CN-Series firewall
across its multiple supported modes.
5G-Native Security is exclusively supported on Daemonset and Kubernetes CNF Mode.
The memory and core combinations for CN-MGMT and CN-NGFW applies to Small, Medium,
and Large respectively. The combination of Small, Medium, and Large pertaining to
CN-MGMT maps directly with respective CN-NGFW.
