View the front panel components of your PA-400 Series firewall.
PA-410
PA-415-5G
PA-415 and PA-445
PA-455
PA-440, PA-450, and PA-460
The following image shows the front panel of the PA-410 and the table describes each front panel component.
Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | LED status indicators | Three LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400 Series Firewall). |
2 | CONSOLE port | 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:
|
3 | USB ports | Two USB ports for debugging and administration only. Use one of the two ports to bootstrap the firewall. Bootstrapping enables you to provision the firewall with a specific PAN-OS configuration and then license it and make it operational on your network. |
4 | Ethernet Ports | MGT Port One Ethernet10/100/1000Mbps port (located beside the “MGT” label) that is used 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. Ethernet Ports Seven RJ-4510/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic.You can set the link speed and duplex mode or choose autonegotiate. |
The following image shows the front panel of the PA-415-5G and the table describes each front panel component.
Item | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Antenna Connector | Four 5G SMA antenna connectors:
See the Antenna Specifications for more information about the antennas. Two antenna connectors are on the front panel of the device and two antenna connectors are on the PA-400 Series Back Panel. |
2 | USB ports | Two USB ports for debugging and administration only. Use one of these ports to bootstrap the firewall. Bootstrapping enables you to provision the firewall with a specific PAN-OS configuration and then license it and make it operational on your network. |
3 | 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:
|
4 | 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 Micro USB Console Port for more information and to download the Windows driver or to learn how to connect from a Mac or Linux computer. |
5 | SFP/RJ-45 Combo Ports | One SFP/RJ-45 combo port for data processing and one SFP/RJ-45 combo port for management processing. The combo ports support 10/100/1000Mbps speeds. While facing the front panel of the firewall, the upper SFP/RJ45 combo ports (marked as management) are used for firewall management. The lower SFP/RJ45 combo ports (marked as Ethernet 1), are used for data processing. |
6 | Ethernet Ports | Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic. You can set the link speed and duplex mode or choose auto-negotiate. Ports 5 through 9 are Power Over Ethernet (PoE) ports. They can be configured to transfer power to a connected device. |
7 | Power adapter inputs | Use the power inputs to connect power to the firewall. The PA-415-5G ships with one 150W power adapter and can utilize an optional second power adapter for power redundancy. |
8 | LED status indicators | Four LEDs that indicate the status of the firewall hardware components (see Interpret the LEDs on a PA-400 Series Firewall). |
The front panels of the PA-415 and PA-445 firewalls are visually different but feature the same components. The following image shows the front panel of the PA-415 and the table describes each front panel component.

The lower SFP/RJ45 combo ports (marked as Ethernet 1), are used for data processing. |
5 | Management port | Use this Ethernet 1Gbps 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. |
6 | Ethernet ports | Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for network traffic. You can either set the link speed or choose auto-negotiate. The interface duplex mode can only be set to auto-negotiate. Ports 6, 7, 8, and 9 are Power Over Ethernet (PoE) ports. They can be configured to transfer power to a connected device. |
