ION 3000 is a Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN branch appliance. The hardware guide describes standalone operation, high availability alongside an existing router, and high availability with a second ION 3000. These topologies require different cabling and failure behavior; select the intended arrangement before comparing an appliance-only quote with a complete branch solution.
The Internet Bypass connection is reserved for ION 3000 high-availability arrangements and must not be used in a single-device deployment. LAN and WAN ports are bridged to their corresponding partner by default. The platform provides six Gigabit RJ-45 port pairs with programmable inline fail-to-wire capability, plus two Gigabit controller ports. Check which connections should remain discrete and which should act as bypass pairs.
The specifications list one 150 W power supply, front-to-rear cooling with a smart fan, and a separate RJ-45 console. Controller connectivity is needed for configuration and analytics; verify the applicable service access and licenses rather than assuming they come with the hardware. The official lifecycle table records end of sale on March 15, 2024 and end of life on August 1, 2029. Include that horizon in branch migration planning and confirm the condition and accessories of the actual unit.
