PA-220R Front Panel
Learn about the PA-220R firewall front-panel components.
The following image shows the front panel of the PA-220R firewall
and the table describes each front-panel component.
Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Screw-on ground point | Use this ground point to connect the firewall
to earth ground (ground cable not included). |
2 | DC power and ground inputs | Use the DC input terminal block to connect
DC power to the firewall. The terminal block is included in the
accessories kit and is labeled A+, A-, B+, and B-. The two
inputs to the right of the four DC power inputs are ground inputs
(use only one) that you can use in place of the screw-on ground point
on the firewall (see Connect
Power to a PA-220R Firewall). |
3 | Ethernet ports 1 through 6 | Six RJ-45 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps ports
for network traffic. You can set the link speed and duplex or choose
auto-negotiate for each port. These ports also have built-in surge protection. |
4 | SFP ports 7 and 8 | Two SFP (1Gbps) ports for network traffic. These
ports also support 100Base-FX. |
5 | MGT port | Use this Ethernet 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps
port to access the management web interface and perform administrative
tasks. The firewall also uses this port for management services,
such as retrieving licenses and updating the threat and application signatures. |
6 | CONSOLE port (RJ-45) | Use this port to connect a management computer
to the firewall using a 9-pin serial-to-RJ-45 cable and terminal
emulation software. The console connection provides access
to firewall boot messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT),
and the command line interface (CLI). If your management
computer does not have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial converter. Use
the following settings to configure your terminal emulation software
to connect to the console port:
|
7 | USB | A USB port that accepts a USB flash drive with
a bootstrap bundle (PAN-OS configuration). Bootstrapping speeds
up the process of configuring and licensing the firewall to make
it operational on the network with or without internet access. |
8 | CONSOLE port (Micro USB) | Use this port to connect a management computer
to the firewall using a standard Type-A USB-to-micro USB cable. The
console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, the
Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line interface (CLI). Refer
to the Micro USB Console Port page for more information and
to download the Windows driver or to learn how to connect from a
Mac computer. |
9 | LED status indicators | Five LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall
hardware components (see PA-220R
Status LEDs). |
