PA-500 Series Firewall LED Definitions

Learn about the meanings of the LEDs on the PA-500 Series Firewall.

The following table describes how to interpret the status LEDs on the PA-500 Series firewalls. Not all PA-500 Series firewalls have all of the LED indicators.

LED	Description
Front Panel LEDs
	Power Green—The firewall is powered on. Yellow—One or more power rails have encountered an issue. Off—The firewall is not powered on or an error has occurred with the internal power system (for example, power is not within tolerance levels).
	Status Green—The firewall is operating normally. Yellow—The firewall is booting. Red—The firewall failed to boot.
	Alarm Red—A hardware component failed, such as a power adapter failure, a firewall failure that caused an HA failover, a drive failure, or hardware is overheating and the temperature is above the high temperature threshold. Off—The firewall is operating normally.
	Controller Green—The device is connected to Panorama. Blue—The device is connected to a SDWAN controller or SCM. Blinking yellow—The device is attempting to connect to the controller. Solid yellow—The device is unable to connect to a controller. Off—The device is not cloud managed.
	High Availability (HA) Green—The firewall is the active peer in an active/passive configuration. Yellow—The firewall is the passive peer in an active/passive configuration. Off—High availability (HA) is not operational on this firewall. In an active/active configuration, the HA LED only indicates HA status for the local firewall and has two possible states (green or off); it does not indicate HA connectivity of the peer. Green indicates that the firewall is either active-primary or active-secondary and off indicates that the firewall is in any other state (for example, non-functional or suspended).
	Temperature Yellow—The firewall temperature is outside tolerance levels. Off—The firewall temperature is within normal levels.
	Service This LED is disabled by default but can be enabled by a remote administrator to illuminate the device for a local operator. To enable the LED, use the following CLI command: admin@PA-540> set system setting service-led enable yes Off—The LED is disabled. Blue—A device locator beacon enabled by the administrator.
	PSU1 and PSU2 Green—The PSU is powered with the correct voltage. Yellow—The PSU is powered with the incorrect voltage. Off—The PSU is not present.
RJ-45 port LEDs	Link LED Off—There is no link Solid yellow—10Mbps/100Mbps Solid green—1Gbps/2.5Gbps Activity LED Blinking green—The link is up and there is network activity. Solid green—The link is up but there is no network activity. Off—There is no network activity.
SFP/SFP+ LEDs	Link LED Off—There is no link Solid yellow—1Gbps Solid green—10Gbps Activity LED Blinking green—The link is up and there is network activity. Solid green—The link is up but there is no network activity. Off—There is no network activity.
