Learn how to configure a 5G cellular interface. 
    Click Add and use the following fields to configure a cellular
            interface:
  | Cellular Interface Settings | Configure In | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| Slot | Cellular Interface | Select the Slot that you want to use for the
                                interface: 
 | 
| Interface Name | Select the Interface Name that you want to
                                use. | |
| Comment | Optionally enter a Comment about the interface. | |
| Netflow Profile | If you want to export unidirectional IP traffic that traverses an
                                ingress interface to a NetFlow server, select the server profile or
                                click Netflow Profile to define a new profile
                                (see Device > Server Profiles > NetFlow). Select
                                    None to remove the current NetFlow server
                                assignment from the interface. | |
| Virtual Router | Cellular InterfaceConfig | Assign a virtual router to the interface, or click New
                                    Virtual Router to define a new one (see Network > Virtual Routers). Select
                                    None to remove the current virtual router
                                assignment from the interface. | 
| Logical Router | Assign a logical router to the interface, or click New Logical Router to define a new one (see Network > Routing > Logical Routers). Select None to remove the current logical router assignment from the interface. | |
| Security Zone | Select a security zone for the interface, or click New
                                    Zone to define a new zone. Select
                                    None to remove the current zone
                                assignment from the interface. | |
| Radio | Select the Radio setting. 
 This option allows you to reset the radio settings during
                                troubleshooting. | |
| GPS | Select the GPS setting.  To enable the GPS option, you must select
                                    On for the Radio
                                option as well as the GPS option.  
 | |
| Primary SIM Slot | Select the Primary SIM Slot that contains the SIM card you want the firewall or Panorama to use for the interface. | |
| Automatically create default route pointing to network provided
                                default gateway | Cellular InterfaceIPv4 | Select whether you want the firewall or Panorama to
                                    Automatically create default route pointing to
                                    network provided default gateway. This option is
                                enabled by default and creates a default route to the
                                default gateway provided by the network. | 
| Default Route Metric | Specify the Default Route Metric to define the
                                metric for the route. When a routing protocol has more than one
                                route to the same destination network, it prefers the route with the
                                lowest metric value. The default is  10; the range is 1—65535. | |
| Enable IPv6 on the interface (PAN-OS 11.1.5 and later releases)  | Cellular InterfaceIPv6 | Select to enable IPv6 addressing on the interface. | 
| EUI-64 (PAN-OS 11.1.5 and later releases)  | Enter the Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64) in hexadecimal format
                                (for example, 00:32:07:FE:4A:12:4C:33). If you leave this field
                                blank, the firewall uses the EUI-64 generated from the MAC address
                                of the physical interface. | |
| Automatically create default route pointing to network provided
                                default gateway (PAN-OS 11.1.5 and later releases)  | This option is enabled by default and creates a default route to the
                                default gateway provided by the network. | |
| Default Route Metric (PAN-OS 11.1.5 and later releases)  | Specify the Default Route Metric to define the
                                metric for the route. When a routing protocol has more than one
                                route to the same destination network, it prefers the route with the
                                lowest metric value. The default is 10; the range is 1 to 65535. | |
| Link State | Cellular InterfaceAdvanced | Select the Link State for the
                            interface. 
 | 
| Slot | Cellular InterfaceAdvancedSlot | Select the Slot. Only one SIM slot can be active at a time. By default, SIM1 is the active SIM slot. If the firewall or Panorama can't establish a session within 5 minutes, it attempts to establish the session with the alternate SIM slot. | 
| Pin | To require a PIN to prevent unauthorized use of the SIM slots, enter a Pin for the slot. | |
| Confirm Pin | Enter the PIN again to Confirm Pinfor the slot. | |
| APN Profile | Specify the APN profile that you want the SIM card to use by default. The SIM slot uses this APN profile unless you override it with a custom APN profile. If you don't specify an APN profile, the firewall or Panorama uses the default auto APN profile. If you need to specify a custom APN profile, you can do so by selecting Cellular InterfaceAdvancedAPN Profile. | |
| APN Profile | Cellular InterfaceAdvancedAPN Profile | Add the default APN Profile. | 
| Authentication Type | Select the Authentication Type. 
 | |
| APN | Enter the APN. | |
| Username | Enter the Username for the account. | |
| Password | Enter the Password for the account. | |
| Confirm Password | Enter the password again to Confirm Password for the account. | |
| Management Profile | Cellular InterfaceAdvancedOther Info | Select the Management Profile you want to use for the interface (see Network > Network Profiles > Interface Mgmt. | 
| MTU | Specify the maximum transfer unit (MTU) value. The default value is 1428 bytes; the range is 576—1500 bytes. | |
| Adjust TCP MSS | To adjust the packet size if you encounter latency issues, you can Adjust TCP MSS to configure the maximum segment size. | |
| IPv4 MSS Adjustment | Specify the IPv4 MSS Adjustment value. The default is 40; the range is 40—300. |
