PA-7000 Series Firewall Log Processing Card (LPC)
The Log Processing Card (LPC) is a dedicated log card
(similar to the LFC) that
performs all logging functions and local log storage for the dataplane
logs. You can also configure the firewall to forward logs from the
LPC to an external log collection system that you define. The LPC
contains four disk drives used to store dataplane logs. The disk
drives are contained in Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) that enables
you to hot-swap a drive if it fails. The management logs (Configuration, System,
and Alarms) are stored on an internal SSD
located on the SMC.
There is one LPC model used for both the PA-7050 and PA-7080
firewalls and there is no special configuration required for the
firewall to use the LPC for logging.
On the PA-7050 firewall, you must install the LPC in slot 8 and
on the PA-7080 firewall you must install the LPC in slot 7. The
LPC with at least one formatted drive must be installed for chassis
operation. During normal operation, all four drives should be installed
in two RAID 1 pairs for redundancy.
The LPC is only compatible with a first-generation
SMC (Switch Management Card).
