Learn about the PA-220 firewall front-panel components.
The following image shows the front panel
of the PA-220 firewall and the table describes each front panel
component.
| Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Ethernet ports | Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic. You
can set the link speed and duplex or choose auto-negotiate. |
2 | MGT port | Use this Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbps port to
access the management web interface and perform administrative tasks.
The firewall also uses this port for management services, such as
retrieving licenses and updating threat and application signatures. |
3 | CONSOLE port (RJ-45) | Use this port to connect a management computer
to the firewall using a 9-pin serial to RJ-45 cable and terminal emulation
software. The console connection provides access to firewall boot
messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line
interface (CLI). If your management computer does not
have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial converter. Use
the following settings to configure your terminal emulation software
to connect to the console port:

4 | CONSOLE port (Micro USB) | Use this port to connect a management computer
to the firewall using a standard Type-A USB-to-micro USB cable. The
console connection provides access to firewall boot messages, the
Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line interface
(CLI). Refer to Micro USB Console Port for more
information and to download the Windows driver or to learn how to
connect from a Mac or Linux computer. |
5 | USB port | Use this port to bootstrap the firewall. Bootstrapping
enables you to provision the firewall with a specific PAN-OS configuration
and then license it and make it operational on your network. |
6 | LED status indicators | Five LEDs that indicate the status of the
firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-220 Firewall). |
