Ethernet ports 1 through 12
|
Twelve RJ-45 10Mbps/100Mpbs/1Gbps ports for network
traffic. The link speed and link duplex are
auto-negotiate only.
|
2
|
SFP ports 13 through 20
|
These ports vary depending on your firewall model:
|
3
|
QSFP+ ports 21 through 24
|
(PA-3260 only) Four QSFP+
(40Gbps) ports as defined by the IEEE 802.3ba standard.
|
4
|
HSCI port
|
One SFP+ (10Gbps) port (supports only an SFP+
transceiver or passive SFP+ cable).
Use this port to connect two PA-3200 Series firewalls in
a high availability (HA) configuration as follows:
The HSCI ports must be connected directly between
the two firewalls in the HA configuration (without a
switch or router between them). When directly
connecting the HSCI ports between two PA-3200 Series
firewalls that are physically located near each
other, Palo Alto Networks recommends that you use a
passive SFP+ cable.
For installations where the two firewalls are not
near each other and you cannot use a passive SFP+
cable, use a standard SFP+ transceiver and the
appropriate cable length.
|

|
HA1-A and HA1-B ports
|
Two RJ-45 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps ports for high
availability (HA) control.
If the firewall dataplane restarts due to a failure
or manual restart, the HA1-B link will also restart.
If the dataplane restarts and only HA1-B is
connected, a split brain condition occurs. The HA1-A
link will not restart when the dataplane restarts.
Because of this behavior, we recommend that you
connect both HA1-A and HA1-B to provide redundancy
for the control link and to avoid split brain
issues.

6
|
MGT port
|
Use this Ethernet 10Mbps/100Mbps/1000Mbps port to access
the management web interface and perform administrative
tasks. The firewall also uses this port for management
services, such as retrieving licenses and updating
threat and application signatures.
|
7 |
CONSOLE port (RJ-45)
|
Use this port to connect a management computer to the
firewall using a 9-pin serial-to-RJ-45 cable and
terminal emulation software.
The console connection provides access to firewall boot
messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the
command line interface (CLI).
If your management computer does not have a serial
port, use a USB-to-serial converter.
Use the following settings to configure your terminal
emulation software to connect to the console port:
|
8 |
USB port
|
A USB port that accepts a USB flash drive with a
bootstrap bundle (PAN-OS configuration).
Bootstrapping speeds up the process of configuring and
licensing the firewall to make it operational on the
network with or without internet access.
|
9 |
CONSOLE port (Micro USB)
|
Use this port to connect a management computer to the
firewall using a standard Type-A USB-to-micro USB cable.
The console connection provides access to firewall boot
messages, the Maintenance Recovery Tool (MRT), and the
command line interface (CLI).
Refer to the
Micro USB Console Port
page for more information and to download the Windows
driver or to learn how to connect from a Mac or Linux
computer.

|
LED status indicators
|
Eight LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall
hardware components (see
Interpret the PA-3200 Series Status LEDs
).

System drive
|
One 240GB solid-state drive (SSD) used to store the
PAN-OS system files, system logs, and network traffic
logs.
|
2
|
Exhaust fan tray
|
Provides ventilation and cooling for the firewall.
|
3
|
Ground studs
|
Use the two-post ground stud to connect the firewall to
earth ground. The firewall ships with a 6AWG two-post
ground lug (attached to the ground studs) but does not
include a ground cable.
|
4 |
PS1 and PS2
power supplies
|
Use the power supply inputs (either AC or DC depending
on the installed power supply type) to connect power to
the firewall. The second power supply is for redundancy.
When facing the back of the firewall, PS1 is on the left
and PS2 is on the right.
