PA-445 Passive Device LED status

[KyungjunCHOE]

Dear Team,

I noticed something unusual during my testing.

PA-445 was configured as HA.

The front LED of typical firewall hardware is orange when in the passive state.

However, for the PA-445, both Active and Passive Devices are green.

As a result, active and passive cannot be distinguished visually.

The PAN-OS version in use is 11.1.4.

If anyone have any helpful information about this symptom, please let us know.

I'll attach my PA-445 front panel.

There is no LED for HA. From top to bottom, there are...

-Power

-Status

-Alarm

If it's normal status, LED should be GREEN, GREEN, and OFF even it's active state or passive state.

Note: Status(LED in the middle) might be yellow/red when fw is booting up.

Thank you for your reply!!

But according to the URL below, the LED of the Passive PA-445 should display yellow.

I'm thinking document is wrong. As you can see, there is no LED for HA.

OR do you mean you have 4th LED on your PA-445 (differ from my PA-445?)

I completely understand... I think it's just an error in the document.

Your answer was very helpful.
