Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400R Series Firewall
View the status LEDs on the PA-400R Series firewall in order to monitor the network
connection, temperature, and other device statuses.
The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on all of the PA-400R
Series firewalls.

In
an active/active configuration, the HA LED only indicates HA status
for the local firewall and has two possible states (green or off);
it does not indicate HA connectivity of the peer. Green indicates that
the firewall is either active-primary or active-secondary and off
indicates that the firewall is in any other state (for example,
non-functional or suspended). |

( PA-450R ) and PA-450R-5G Ethernet port LEDs |
If you configure the link state to
down on a port, the LEDs on some
activse ports will not work. Similarly, if the passive link
state is set to shutdown , the HA link
LEDs on the passive device in the HA pair will not work. To
ensure your LEDs display correctly, avoid configuring link
states to down or using the
shutdown passive link state unless
needed for security reasons. |
