Palo Alto PA-7050-SMC-B - expansion module - 100 Gigabit QSFP28 / 40 Gigabit QSFP+ x 2

Acting as the control center of the Palo Alto Networks PA-7000 Series next-generation firewalls, the Palo Alto Networks PA-7050 Switch Management Card intelligently oversees all traffic and executes all management functions, using a combination of three elements: the First Packet Processor, a high-speed backplane and the management subsystem. The First Packet Processor (FPP) is the key to maximizing performance and delivering linear scalability to the PA-7000 Series. This FPP constantly tracks the shared pool of available processing and I/O resources across all NPCs, intelligently directing inbound traffic to any underutilized processors.
