PA-5400 Series Firewall Networking Card (NC) Troubleshooting Commands
Learn about various CLI commands that enable troubleshooting
of the PA-5400 Series Networking Card (NC).
The following table describes common commands that you
can use to troubleshoot NC issues on a PA-5400 Series firewall.
The PA-5450 firewall makes use of paired Logical Card Slots in
order to direct processing power from a Data Processing Card (DPC)
to a corresponding NC. Certain commands issued to the NC affect
or are affected by the status of its corresponding DPC.
Purpose | Command |
|---|---|
Show NC slot status. | Run the following to view all of the slots: To view the status of one slot run: For example, to check the status of slot 1, run:
|
Temporarily power on and off an NC slot. This
command gracefully powers off a slot and ends current sessions. You
can use this command to remove an NC. | To power off a slot: To power on a slot:
|
Power off an NC slot. When running
this command, the NC slot stays powered off, even after a reboot. |
|
Enable a slot so the NC can pass traffic. |
|
Enable new NCs on both firewalls in an HA configuration. | In an HA configuration, you must install
the same number and model of NCs in each firewall and the slot numbers
must match. For example, after installing two NCs (one in each firewall),
the firewall keeps them in a disabled state until you enable them.
This allows the firewall to start HA monitoring on each NC at the
same time. To enable NCs after inserting them into the same
slot numbers on each firewall in an HA configuration, run the following command: For example, to enable NCs installed in slot 2 of both firewalls, run the following command: You can use the ha-pair option in an HA
configuration for many of the slot control commands. |
