    Log Card Interface

    • Network > Interfaces > Ethernet
    If you configure log forwarding on a PA-7000 Series firewall, you must configure one data port as type
    Log Card
    . This is because the traffic and logging capabilities of this firewall model exceed the capabilities of the management (MGT) interface. A log card data port performs log forwarding for syslog, email, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Panorama log forwarding, and WildFire™ file-forwarding.
    You can configure only one port on the firewall as type
    Log Card
    . If you enable log forwarding but do not configure an interface with the
    Log Card
     type, you get an error when you attempt to commit your changes.
    To configure a log card interface, select an Interface that is not configured (ethernet1/16, for example) and configure the settings described in the following table.
    Log Card Interface Settings
    Configured In
    Description
    Slot
    Ethernet Interface
    Select the slot number (1-12) of the interface.
    Interface Name
    The interface name is predefined and you cannot change it.
    Comment
    Enter an optional description for the interface.
    Interface Type
    Select
    Log Card
    .
    IPv4
    Ethernet Interface
    Log Card Forwarding
    If your network uses IPv4, define the following:
    • IP address
      —The IPv4 address of the port.
    • Netmask
      —The network mask for the IPv4 address of the port.
    • Default Gateway
      —The IPv4 address of the default gateway for the port.
    IPv6
    If your network uses IPv6, define the following:
    • IP address
      —The IPv6 address of the port.
    • Default Gateway
      —The IPv6 address of the default gateway for the port.
    Link Speed
    Ethernet Interface
    Advanced
    Select the interface speed in Mbps (
    10
    ,
    100
    , or
    1000
    ) or select
    auto
     (default) to have the firewall automatically determine the speed based on the connection. For interfaces that have a non-configurable speed,
    auto
     is the only option.
    The minimum recommended speed for the connection is
    1000
     (Mbps).
    Link Duplex
    Select whether the interface transmission mode is full-duplex (
    full
    ), half-duplex (
    half
    ), or negotiated automatically based on the connection (
    auto
    ). The default is
    auto
    .
    Link State
    Select whether the interface status is enabled (
    up
    ), disabled (
    down
    ), or determined automatically based on the connection (
    auto
    ). The default is
    auto
    .
