HSCI
port
These
ports
vary
depending
on
your
firewall
model:
•
PA
‐
5220
firewall
—One
QSFP+
40Gbps
port
(supports
only
a
40Gbps
(QSFP+)
transceiver
or
QSFP+
active
optical
cable).
•
PA
‐
5250
and
PA
‐
5260
firewalls
—One
QSFP28
40/100Gbps
port
(supports
40Gbps
(QSFP+)
or
100Gbps
transceiver
(QSFP28)
or
equivalent
active
optical
cables).
The
link
speed
is
based
on
the
installed
transceiver.
Use
this
port
to
connect
two
PA
‐
5200
Series
firewalls
in
a
high
availability
(HA)
configuration
as
follows:
•
In
an
active/passive
configuration,
this
port
is
for
HA2
(data
link).
•
In
an
active/active
configuration,
you
can
configure
this
port
for
HA2
and/or
HA3.
HA3
is
used
for
packet
forwarding
for
asymmetrically
routed
sessions
that
require
Layer
7
inspection
for
App
‐
ID™
and
Content
‐
ID™.
The
HSCI
ports
must
be
connected
directly
between
the
two
firewalls
in
the
HA
configuration
(not
between
a
network
switch
or
router).
When
directly
connecting
the
HSCI
ports
between
two
PA
‐
5220
firewalls
that
are
physically
located
near
each
other,
Palo
Alto
Networks
recommends
that
you
use
a
40Gbps
QSFP+
Active
Optical
Cable
(AOC).
When
directly
connecting
two
PA
‐
5250
or
two
PA
‐
5260
firewalls,
use
either
a
40Gbps
QSFP+
Active
Optical
Cable
(AOC)
or
a
100Gbps
QSFP28
Active
Optical
Cable
(AOC).
For
installations
where
the
two
firewalls
are
not
near
each
other
and
you
cannot
use
an
AOC
cable,
use
a
standard
40Gbps
or
100Gbps
transceivers
and
the
appropriate
cable
length.
5

ports
Use
these
SFP+
ports
for
HA1,
management
functions,
or
log
forwarding
to
Panorama.
