PA-7500 Series Firewall MPC LEDs

Learn how to interpret the LEDs located on the PA-7500 Series firewall Management Processing Card.

The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on a Management Processing Card (MPC).

LED	Description
	Service Allows a remote administrator to illuminate the LED on a specific front-slot card so an on-site technician can locate the card. Off—The firewall is operating normally. Blue—The firewall is instructed by the CLI or Web Interface to enable this LED.
	Power Green—The firewall is powered on. Yellow—The firewall is shutting down or there is an issue with one or more power rails. Off—The firewall is not powered on or an error occurred with the internal power system (for example, power is not within tolerance levels).
	Status Green—The firewall is operating normally. Yellow—The firewall is booting.
	NGFW Clustering The LED behavior for this functionality is not implemented yet.
	Active MPC Green—The MPC is enabled.
	Alarm Off—The firewall is operating normally. Red—A hardware failure, such as a power supply failure, a firewall failure that caused an HA failover, a drive failure, or the hardware overheated and exceeded the high temperature threshold.
	Temperature Green—The firewall temperature is normal. Yellow—The firewall temperature is outside tolerance levels. See the PA-7500 Series Firewall Environmental Specifications for the operating temperature range.
	Fans Green—The fan tray and all fans are operating normally. Red—A fan has failed.
	Power Supplies Green—The power supplies are operating normally. Red—A power supply is present but is not working.

The following table describes how to interpret the LEDs on the MPC ports.

LED	Description
LOG-1 and LOG-2 (QSFP28)	The QSFP28 ports have four LEDs each; the LED illuminated depends on the transceiver that is installed. On the zQSFP ports, the left LED glows yellow when a 1Gbps transceiver is connected and the right LED glows green when a 10Gbps transceiver is connected. When operating at 25Gbps speed, the right LED glows teal. The color of the LED differs based on the port speed. 1Gbps—Yellow 10Gbps—Green 25Gbps—Teal 40Gbps—Yellow 100Gbps—Blue Solid Color—The firewall network link is up. Blinking Color—The firewall is processing network activity.
HSCI-A and HSCI-B (QSFP28)	The QSFP28 ports have four LEDs each. On the QSFP28 ports, the LEDs are illuminated based on breakout status. Breaking out the port to 10Gbps causes all LEDs to glow green. Breaking out the port to 100Gbps causes all LEDs to glow teal. If the port is not broken out, the LEDs glow yellow for 40Gbps and blue for 400Gbps.

Description

LOG-1 and LOG-2 (QSFP28)

The QSFP28 ports have four LEDs each; the LED illuminated depends on the transceiver that is installed.

On the zQSFP ports, the left LED glows yellow when a 1Gbps transceiver is connected and the right LED glows green when a 10Gbps transceiver is connected. When operating at 25Gbps speed, the right LED glows teal.

The color of the LED differs based on the port speed.

1Gbps—Yellow
10Gbps—Green
25Gbps—Teal
40Gbps—Yellow
100Gbps—Blue

Solid Color—The firewall network link is up.
Blinking Color—The firewall is processing network activity.

HSCI-A and HSCI-B (QSFP28)

The QSFP28 ports have four LEDs each.

On the QSFP28 ports, the LEDs are illuminated based on breakout status. Breaking out the port to 10Gbps causes all LEDs to glow green. Breaking out the port to 100Gbps causes all LEDs to glow teal. If the port is not broken out, the LEDs glow yellow for 40Gbps and blue for 400Gbps.
