PA-545-POE next-generation firewall

The Palo Alto Networks PA-545-POE is a new ML-powered next-generation firewall built for mid-size enterprise and branch deployments. It delivers firewall throughput of 5.0 Gbps and threat prevention throughput of 3.0 Gbps with IPsec VPN throughput of 3.0 Gbps. The appliance supports up to 298K concurrent sessions and 55K new sessions per second with a base of one virtual system expandable to two.

336 W max power with 181 W PoE budget

The unit operates on 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz with a maximum current draw of 6 A at 54 VDC and a peak power consumption of 336 W when supplying 181 W of PoE output. Four 1G/2.5G/PoE ports provide up to 90 W each under IEEE 802.3bt for powering access points or cameras. The 1U rackmount chassis measures 1.75" H x 16.1" W x 12.6" D and weighs 13.5 lbs for standard cabinet installation.

Zero Touch Provisioning and high availability

Zero Touch Provisioning simplifies initial deployment by automating configuration retrieval and software updates without on-site engineering. Active/active and active/passive high-availability modes maintain session continuity during hardware or link failures. Management access includes a dedicated out-of-band port, USB, RJ45 console and USB-C console for flexible administrative control.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PA-545-POE in a rack and which step is often missed?

Mount the 1.75" H chassis in a standard rack using the supplied brackets, connect the 100-240 VAC power cord, then link the 1 x 10/100/1000 out-of-band management port so Zero Touch Provisioning can register the serial number automatically.

What maintenance or replacement will the PA-545-POE need later?

The 120 GB internal storage holds logs and signatures; plan to offload logs before the disk fills. Fan trays are field-replaceable — swap them when the chassis alert shows a fan fault.

Which limit appears first on the PA-545-POE under sustained heavy traffic?

Threat Prevention throughput caps at 3.0 Gbps (appmix) while firewall throughput reaches 5.0 Gbps, so the inspection engine saturates before the raw forwarding plane.
