What new hardware features are in PAN-OS 11.1?

PA-415-5G Next-Generation Firewall

Learn about the new PA-415-5G hardware firewall.
The PA-415-5G adds a 5G-capable appliance to the PA-400 Series firewall lineup for PAN-OS 11.1 and later versions. The 5G interface can provide primary or backup WAN connectivity, making it an optimal solution for deployments in enterprise, retail, and commercial branch locations.
The PA-415-5G features an integrated 5G module to provide cellular connectivity, four 5G SDMA antennas, and eight RJ-45 ports. There is also one SFP/RJ-45 combo port that can be used for management and data processing, making a total of nine data ports. Four of the eight RJ-45 ports can be configured as power over ethernet (PoE) interfaces to transfer up to 91W of power to a connected device.
The PA-415-5G is powered by an AC power adapter and optionally supports power redundancy. The device can be installed on a flat surface or equipment rack.

PA-455 Next-Generation Firewall

Learn about the new PA-455 hardware firewall.
The PA-455 adds a new mid-range appliance to the PA-400 Series firewall lineup for PAN-OS 11.1 and later versions. This firewall is designed for deployments in enterprise, retail, and commercial branch locations.
The PA-455 features two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports and six RJ-45 ports. Both combo ports can be used for passing traffic on the network or on the WAN.
The PA-455 is powered by an AC power adapter and optionally supports power redundancy. The device can be installed on a flat surface or equipment rack.

PA-450R Next-Generation Firewall

Learn about the new PA-450R rugged hardware firewall.
The PA-450R is a new rugged firewall appliance that upgrades the PA-220R firewall. The PA-450R is designed for industrial, commercial, and government deployments. The hardware is suited for installation in harsh environments with extreme temperatures and high humidity levels.
The PA-450R is supported on PAN-OS 11.1 and later versions. The firewall features two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports and six RJ-45 ports. The RJ-45 ports include two fail-open ports that can be configured to provide a pass-through connection in the event of a power or operating system failure.
The PA-450R is powered by DC power and optionally supports power redundancy. The device has a fanless design and can be installed on a flat surface, wall, and equipment rack. The hardware is compliant with ICS/SCADA system architecture.

PA-5445 Next-Generation Firewall

Learn about the new PA-5445 hardware firewall.
The PA-5445 adds the highest performance fixed form-factor model to the Palo Alto Networks® Next-Generation Firewall lineup. This firewall, supported on PAN-OS 11.1 and later versions, features hardware resources dedicated to networking, security, signature matching, and management. The PA-5445 is ideal for deployments in enterprise data centers, headquarters, and regional offices.
The PA-5445 has the highest App-ID speed (93Gbps), L7 threat inspection rate (70Gbps), and session count (48M) in a fixed form-factor firewall.
The PA-5445 features eight RJ-45 ports, twelve SFP+ ports, four SFP28 ports, and four form-factor pluggable QSFP28 ports that support breakout mode. The firewall also features dedicated HSCI and HA1 ports for high availability control.
The PA-5445 can be powered by AC or DC power supplies and optionally supports power redundancy. The hardware takes up 2RU of rack space and should be mounted in a 19” equipment rack.

PA-7500 Next-Generation Firewall

Learn about the new PA-7500 chassis firewall.
The PA-7500 is a new modular chassis that upgrades the PA-7000 Series firewall. The high-performance PA-7500 is intended for deployments where scalability and high speed connectivity are needed, such as high-end enterprise and service providers.
The PA-7500 is supported on PAN-OS 11.1 and later versions. The firewall features the following interface cards:
  • Management Processing Card (MPC) — provides the firewall with a management interface that includes dual 400Gbps (QSFP-DD) HSCI ports, dual 100Gb/s (zQSFP) ports for logging and dual SFP28 (25GE/10GE/1GE) ports for external management connectivity.
  • Network Processing Card (NPC) — provides network connectivity through eight QSFP-DD interfaces and twelve SFP-DD interfaces. The QSFP-DD ports are capable of 400Gbps speed and also support QSFP28 (100Gbps) and QSFP+ (40Gbps) optics. These optics can make use of breakout mode to provide four 25Gbps ports or four 10Gbps ports. The SFP-DD ports are capable of 100Gbps operation and support SFP28, SFP+, and SFP optics.
  • Data Processing Card (DPC) — provides increased processing power and capacity to the firewall.
  • Switch Fabric Card (SFC) — provides data plane connectivity to the other interface cards as well as redundant switching fabric.
The PA-7500 can be powered by AC or DC power supplies and supports power redundancy. The chassis occupies 14RU of rack space and must be installed in an appropriate 19” equipment rack.
