PA-7000 Series Firewall Switch Management Cards (SMCs)
The PA-7000 Series Switch Management Card (SMC) provides:
switch fabric management for the chassis, system management access,
stores PAN-OS, the firewall configuration, and management logs.
It also includes ports for high availability (HA) connectivity and
LED indicators that provides status of the chassis components.
There are two SMC models: the first-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC and PA-7080-SMC) and the
second-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC-B and PA-7080-SMC-B). The SMC is supported on PAN-OS
versions up to PAN-OS 10.1. The SMC-B is supported on PAN-OS 9.0 and later versions. The
second-generation SMC-B provides higher performance, a micro USB management port,
redundant management ports, and redundant system drives.
The PA-7050 SMCs and PA-7080 SMCs are
not interchangeable. Although the cards are similar, their back
plane connectors and software are different. The hardware is also
keyed in such a way that you cannot install a PA-7050 SMC in a PA-7080
firewall and vice versa.
A first-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC or
PA-7080-SMC) must be paired with a first-generation logging card
(PA-7000-LPC). Similarly, a second-generation SMC (PA-7050-SMC-B
or PA-7080-SMC-B) must be paired with a second-generation logging
card (PA-7000-LFC-A).
When using PA-7000 Series firewalls in
a High Availability (HA) pair, both firewalls must have SMCs of
the same generation installed.

of the SMC components, and how to interpret the LEDs.
