PA-520
PA-520: Wired branches that need more capacity without fibre uplinks.
Overview
The PA-520 combines 8 RJ-45 1 GbE ports. The manufacturer reports 1.8 Gb/s of Threat Prevention in an appmix test on PAN-OS 12.2. Selection must assess this result alongside concurrent sessions, the application profile and required inspection; it does not guarantee performance on every network. Wired branches that need more capacity without fibre uplinks. 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.
