HSCI port - amber blinking LED on both primary and secondary devices (5445)

Hey guys I have 2 PA-5445 in HA setup, I noticed that the HSCI port shows blinking amber LED on both sides. Dashboard shows HA is up. Should it be green or is it fine? Because the 5260 models show solid green LED.

Hello @A.Patel769959

based on documentation: Interpret the PA-5400 Series LEDs this looks expected. Yellow indicates either 1G & 40G connection and blinking status indicates network activity.

In comparison PA-5200 has only green color: Interpret the LEDs on a PA-5200 Series Firewall. That would explain difference in what you see in PA-5260.

Kind Regards

Pavel
