Overview of new hardware introduced with PAN-OS® 9.0.
New Hardware
Description
PA-7000 100G Network Processing Card
(NPC)
The new 100G NPC provides more
session capacity than in previous NPCs and improved performance.
This new NPC provides the following main features:
App-ID™
throughput (AppMix) of 72Gbps
Threat throughput (AppMix) of 35Gbps
Session capacity up to 32 million
Four QSFP+/QSFP28 (40Gbps/100Gbps) ports
Eight SFP/SFP+ (1Gbps/10Gbps) ports
A new service LED that allows a remote administrator to illuminate
the SVC LED on a specific front-slot card so an on-site technician can
locate the card.
PA-7000 Switch Management Cards (SMC-B)
The new second-generation SMCs (PA-7050-SMC-B
and PA-7080-SMC-B) provide the following main features:
Higher
performance
Redundant solid-state drives (SSDs) for PAN-OS
®
and
management log storage
MGT-A, MGT-B, HA1-A, and HA1-B support 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ transceivers
Micro USB management port
PA-7000 Log Forwarding Card (LFC)
The new Log Forwarding Card (LFC) implements the
high speed log forwarding feature introduced in PAN-OS 8.0. The
LFC includes the following main features:
High-speed
log forwarding of all dataplane logs to an external log collector
(For example, Panorama™ or syslog servers)
Supports up to 350,000 logs per second to Panorama
QSFP/QSFP+ ports (port 1 at 10Gbps and port 9 at 40Gbps)
PA-7050 FANTRAY-L/R-A
The new second-generation fan trays for
the PA-7050 provide more cooling capacity than the first-generation
fan trays and are required when you install the second-generation
hardware in a PA-7050 firewall.
PA-7080 EMI Filter
This new EMI filter for existing
PA-7080 firewalls reduces electromagnetic interference and is required
when you install the second-generation hardware in a PA-7080 firewall.
New chassis will have this new filter pre-installed.
