Palo Alto PAN-PA-5050 Firewall PA-5000 Series Firewalls

PAN-PA-5050 Firewall Procurement Identity

PAN-PA-5050 Firewall refers to the Palo Alto Networks PA-5050 hardware appliance. The manufacturer model is PA-5050; the catalog prefix and suffix do not indicate an included subscription. The platform provides twelve copper Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight Gigabit SFP ports and four 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports.

Datacenter Capacity Profile

Palo Alto Networks publishes 10 Gbps App-ID firewall throughput, 5 Gbps threat-prevention throughput, 4 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput, 120,000 new sessions per second and two million maximum sessions. Inspection policy, SSL decryption, logging, packet size and application mix determine usable production capacity.

Power, HA and Migration Boundary

The 2U chassis uses redundant 450 W AC supplies and is listed at 270 W average and 340 W maximum consumption. Before replacing an installed PA-5050, confirm PAN-OS support, license transfer, SSD arrangement, rail kit, optics, power feeds, HA peer compatibility and configuration export. A PA-5020 or PA-5060 has a different capacity profile and is not an automatic substitute.

• Retain PA-5050 as the manufacturer model in support and configuration records.
• Map all copper, SFP and SFP+ interfaces before migration.
• Size using threat prevention and session demand.
• Quote subscriptions, support, optics and accessories separately.
