PA-400 Series Front Panel
Learn about the PA-400 Series firewall front-panel components.
The front panels of the PA-440, PA-450,
and PA-460 firewalls are identical. The following image shows the
front panel of the PA-440 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 mode or choose
auto-negotiate. |
2 | MGT port | Use this Ethernet 1Gbps 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 (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. |
4 | 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:
|
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 | Six LEDs that indicate the status of the
firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400 Series Firewall). |
The front panels of the PA-415 and PA-445 firewalls are visually
different but feature the same components. The following image shows
the front panel of the PA-415 and the table describes each front
panel component.

4 | SFP/RJ-45 Combo Ports | Two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds. |
5 | MGT port | Use this Ethernet 1Gbps 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. |
6 | Ethernet ports | Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network
traffic. You can set the link speed and duplex mode or choose
auto-negotiate. Ports 6, 7, 8, and 9 are Power Over Ethernet
(PoE) ports. They can be configured to transfer power to a connected
device. |
7 | Power adapter inputs | Use the power inputs to connect power to
the firewall. The PA-415 and PA-445 ship with one 150W power adapter and
can utilize an optional second power adapter for power redundancy. |
8 | LED status indicators | Three LEDs that indicate the status of the
firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400 Series Firewall). |

4 | Ethernet Ports | MGT Port One Ethernet10/100/1000Mbps
port (located beside the “MGT” label) that is used 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. Ethernet Ports Seven RJ-4510/100/1000Mbps
ports for network traffic.You can set the link speed and duplex
mode or choose autonegotiate. |
