Hi Team,
I’m looking to confirm the maximum number of units (aeX.Y subinterfaces) that can be configured under a single Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface on Palo Alto firewalls.
Specifically for models like PA-440,PA-450, PA-820, and PA-850, and across recent PAN-OS versions:
• What is the hard platform limit for aeX.Y units per AE?
• Are there any model-specific or PAN-OS–specific differences?
• Any recommended practical limits or best practices from field experience?
I wasn’t able to find a definitive number exposed via CLI (for example, show system state).
Appreciate confirmation or anyone who has validated this in production.
Thanks!
