PA-3430
PA-3430: 100 GbE connectivity in a 1U rack form factor with 15 Gb/s Threat Prevention appmix capacity.

Overview
The PA-3430 combines 12 RJ-45 1/2.5/5/10 GbE ports, 10 SFP/SFP+ 1/10 GbE ports and 4 SFP 28 25 GbE ports, plus 2 QSFP/QSFP 28 40/100 GbE ports. The manufacturer reports 15 Gb/s of Threat Prevention in an appmix test on PAN-OS 12.1. Selection must assess this result alongside concurrent sessions, the application profile and required inspection; it does not guarantee performance on every network. 100 GbE connectivity in a 1U rack form factor with 15 Gb/s Threat Prevention appmix capacity. Transceivers, subscriptions and support are specified for the project. Security subscriptions and optional features are not assumed to be included with the appliance. Validate the licence, version and configuration.
