Verify the PA-7000 Series Firewall NPC Configuration
When you first set up a PA-7000 Series firewall, all NPC slots are ready to use. If you are working
with a firewall that is already deployed, you should check slot status before adding a new NPC
to ensure that the NPC slot is ready. If the firewall is in a high availability (HA) configuration, a
newly installed NPC stays in a disabled state until a matching NPC is installed. After you install a
matching NPC in the same slot number in the HA peer firewall, you must enable the NPCs.
The following commands describe how to view NPC status and how to change the state of an
NPC.
To view NPC status, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
show chassis
status slot <slot-number>
For example, to view the status of slot 3 run the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
show chassis
status slot s3
If an NPC slot is ready to use, the status shows
empty
. When you insert an NPC, the system
updates the status of the slot.
