Enterprise firewall appliance

The Palo Alto Networks PAN-PA-1420 is a rack-mountable next-generation firewall designed for branch offices and small enterprises that need integrated threat prevention and SD-WAN capabilities. It consolidates networking, security, and PoE switching in a single 1U chassis to reduce appliance sprawl.

Throughput capacity and session limits

Firewall throughput reaches 9.5 Gbps with appmix traffic, while threat prevention throughput sustains 6.2 Gbps and IPsec VPN throughput peaks at 5.6 Gbps. The platform supports 1.4 million concurrent sessions and 140,000 new sessions per second, with a base of one virtual system expandable to six via licence.

Interface constraints and PoE budget

The unit provides four 10/100/1000 ports, eight 1G/2.5G/5G ports (four with PoE), two 1G SFP ports, and eight 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ ports. Total PoE power budget is 151 W with a maximum of 90 W on a single port, while overall system power draw reaches 300 W.

Questions about this item

Will the PA-1420's 10/100/1000 ports link with my existing 100 Mbps switches?

Yes. The four 10/100/1000 ports auto-negotiate down to 100 Mbps full-duplex so they will interoperate with older 100 Mbps gear without configuration changes.

How can I confirm the 151 W PoE budget is actually delivering power to my access points after installation?

In the web UI or CLI, run "show poe interface all" to see real-time per-port draw and verify the total stays within the 151 W budget.

Does the box include SFP+ transceivers for the 1G/10G uplinks or must I order them separately?

The appliance ships without transceivers; you must purchase compatible 1G SFP or 10G SFP+ modules separately for the eight SFP/SFP+ ports.
