PA-7000 Series Firewall Installation
After you successfully install an NPC, the status shows
Card Status Up
and
Config Status
Success
.
You can power down a slot and the slot will stay in the down state until you power it on. Use the
following commands to change the slot status:
To power on an NPC slot:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis admin-power-on slot <slot-number>
To power off an NPC slot:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis admin-power-off slot <slot-number>
To temporarily power down a slot:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis power-off slot <slot-number>
In an HA configuration, you must install the same number and model of NPCs in each chassis and
the slot numbers must match. After you install the NPCs in each chassis, the firewall keeps them
in a disabled state until you enable them. This allows the firewall to start HA monitoring on both
NPCs.
Use the following command to bring up a pair of NPCs in an HA configuration:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis power-on slot <slot-number> target ha-pair
For example, to enable NPCs installed in slot 3 of both chassis, run the following command:
admin@PA-7050>
request
chassis power-on slot s3 target ha-pair
