The following image shows the front panel of the PA-450R
and the table describes each front panel component.
Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | LED status indicators | Four LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall hardware
components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400R Series Firewall). |
2 | 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. |
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 (not included with the
firewall). 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 RJ-45 to USB 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). Use the following settings to configure your terminal emulation
software to connect to the console port:
|
5 | Management 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 | SFP/RJ-45 combo ports | Two SFP/RJ-45 combo ports for 10/100/1000Mbps speeds. |
7 | RJ-45 ports | Six RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic. Ports 3 and 4 are fail-open ports. They can be configured to provide
a pass-through connection despite power or operating system
failure. |
8 | Ground studs | Use a dual screw ground lug to connect the firewall to earth ground
(ground cable not included). |
9 | DC power inputs | Use the DC power inputs to connect power to the firewall. A second
power supply can be used for redundancy. |
