QoS Maximum Egress 5000

[Kyle_Begle]

We used to have a PA-3260 but moved to the PA-1420. I noticed that in the QoS profile for our interfaces, I can only set a maximum egress of 5000. We used to set this to 10,000 as we have a 10gbps handoff and a 10gbps connection to our internal equipment. Looking at my interfaces on the 1420, I see that we are using a 10000Mbps, full duplex connection on both ends. We don't use QoS heavily, it's mainly there so that we can get QoS statistics for real-time bandwidth.

Why is the 1420 limited in this way? Was the 3260 a more "beefy" device, or is this a configuration issue that I messed up during the swap?

Hi @Kyle_Begle ,

PA-1400 series uses Software QoS, which initially had a limit upto 5G

Even though the physical interface supports 10G , for performance related issues QoS egress max is rate limited to 5G
