User Manual
FAQ
What is the firewall throughput of the Palo Alto PA-440?
The PA-440 delivers 2.60 Gbit/s of firewall throughput with all security services enabled. This throughput capacity ensures the appliance can inspect and filter network traffic at wire speed for typical branch office environments without creating performance bottlenecks. The throughput measurement includes deep packet inspection, threat prevention, URL filtering, and all other security features operating simultaneously.
How many network ports does the PA-440 have and what type are they?
The PA-440 features eight Gigabit Ethernet ports using RJ-45 connectors that support 10/100/1000Base-T network standards. All eight ports are configurable for WAN or LAN connectivity, providing flexibility for network segmentation and multiple internet connections. The appliance also includes one USB port for additional connectivity options or management interfaces.
What security features does the AI/ML capability provide?
The AI/ML security in the PA-440 strengthens threat detection in real time by identifying patterns and anomalies that might indicate emerging threats. It prevents network disruption by blocking malicious traffic before it can impact operations, and it enhances protection against zero-day attacks and evasive malware that traditional signature-based approaches might miss. The AI features work alongside conventional security measures like intrusion prevention and URL filtering.
What is the VPN throughput capability of this appliance?
The PA-440 achieves 140.80 MB/s of VPN throughput when establishing secure IPsec VPN connections between sites. This performance level supports multiple concurrent VPN tunnels for connecting branch offices to headquarters or creating secure connections between distributed locations. The appliance maintains this throughput while applying security policies to VPN traffic, ensuring encrypted connections receive the same protection as local network traffic.
Is the PA-440 suitable for rack mounting or is it desktop only?
The PA-440 is designed as a desktop form factor appliance, measuring 8.07" wide × 8.83" deep × 1.74" high. While it can be placed on a shelf within a rack using optional mounting brackets, it is not a standard rack-mountable unit. Its compact size and silent, fanless operation make it ideal for office environments where traditional rack equipment might be impractical or too noisy.
What encryption standards does the PA-440 support for VPN and data protection?
The appliance supports multiple encryption standards including AES with 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit key lengths; 3DES; MD5; SHA-1; SHA-256; SHA-384; SHA-512; SSL; TLS; and TLS 1.3. This comprehensive encryption support ensures compatibility with various security protocols and provides strong data protection for VPN connections, web traffic inspection, and secure communications across the network.
