If you have a PA-415-5G firewall, you can now configure a 5G interface for IPv4 cellular traffic. The PA-415-5G is similar to the PA-415 except that it contains an integrated 5G module to support 4G/5G capability and configuration of an interface for IPv4 cellular traffic.

The 5G cellular interface enables configuration of a primary internet connection as well as configuration of a secondary connection for redundancy in case the primary connection is not available. This type of interface supports data connectivity over the 5G mobile network; if the 5G network is unavailable, the firewall automatically switches to a 4G or 3G network, depending on availability.

To enable the 5G cellular interface, configure an Access Point Name (APN) profile. The APN profile specifies which network or networks the device can access and whether the device receives a dynamic or static IP address.

You can configure a primary and secondary SIM card if it is available. If you have a secondary SIM card, you can configure the firewall to switch from one SIM card to another if one SIM card becomes unavailable. For security, enable a PIN code for the SIM card to prevent misuse. If you cannot remember the PIN code, you must obtain a Personal Unblock Key (PUK) for the SIM card to unlock it for use.

For monitoring purposes, you can enable the Dashboard widgets to view more information about the status of the 5G network.
