    Interpret the PA-7000 Series LFC LEDs

    Learn how to interpret the Log Forwarding Card (LFC) LEDs.
    Use the following information to learn how to interpret the LED dashboard and port LEDs located on the Log Forwarding Card (LFC).
    LED
    State
    Description
    PWR (POWER)
    Green
    The LFC is powered.
    Off
    The LFC power is off.
    STS (STATUS)
    Green
    The LFC is operating normally.
    Yellow
    The LFC is booting up.
    ALM
    (Alarm)
    Red
    There is a hardware failure, which may include the following:
    • Voltage issue.
    • Power supply detected but not operational.
    • Fan failure.
    • Hard drive failure.
    • Temperature above high temperature threshold.
    You may also see varying behavior for the ALM LED in an HA configuration as follows:
    • If HA transitions into tentative or a non-functional state, the ALM LED turns red.
    • When the state returns to a functional state (any active or passive state) the LED turns off.
    • If you intentionally suspend HA, the LED will not turn red.
    • If the firewall is suspended due to a failure loop, the firewall will go into a suspended state to end the loop. In this case, the LED turns red.
    Green
    The chassis temperature is normal.
    TMP (Temperature)
    Yellow
    The LFC temperature is outside the temperature tolerance.
    Off
    The LFC is operating normally.
    SVC (Service)
    Allows a remote administrator to illuminate the SVC LED on a specific front-slot card so an on-site technician can locate the card.
    Enter the following command to view the status of the SVC LED on all cards that have this LED: 
    admin@PA-7080> show system service-led status
Service LED
Slot    Description       Status
s1      empty             Off   
s2      empty             Off   
s3      PA-7000-100G-NPC  Off   
s4      empty             Off   
s5      empty             Off   
s6      PA-7080-SMC-B     On    
s7      PA-7000-LFC       On    
s8      empty             Off   
s9      empty             Off   
s10     empty             Off   
s11     empty             Off   
s12     empty             Off  
    SVC (Continued)
    Enter the following command to view the status for a card in a specific slot:
    admin@PA-7080> show system service-led status slot s3
    Enter the following command to enable all SVC LEDs:
    admin@PA-7080>set system setting service-led enable yes
    Enter the following command to disable the SVC LED:
    admin@PA-7080> set system setting service-led enable no
    Enter the following command to enable the SVC LED on the card in a specific slot:
    admin@PA-7080> set system setting service-led enable slot s3 yes
    Off
    LED is off.
    On
    LED is solid blue.
    The following table describes functions and states of the QSFP port LEDs.
    As of PAN-OS 9.0, a single port is supported on the LFC QSFP ports. You can configure port 1 at 10Gbps or port 9 at 40Gbps. Ports 2-8 are not supported.
    LED
    Description
    QSFP LEDs
    These LEDs indicate link and activity. The color of the LED indicates the port speed.
    • Green—The port is operating at 10Gbps
    • Yellow—The port is operating at 40Gbps
