Licensing Guide
Branch Subscription
Branch subscriptions can be licensed by bandwidth tier (device-based) or as bandwidth on demand
(aggregate bandwidth).
ION 3000 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps
ION 3200 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps
ION 5200 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps
ION 9000 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps
ION 9200 25 Mbps, 50 Mbps, 150 Mbps, 250 Mbps, 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5Gbps
Sizing guidance for the selection of a subscription tier is based upon expected “typical” usage at a site
level. Bandwidth tiers should be selected based on the total aggregate bandwidth (ingress + egress)
passing through the ION appliance from LAN to WAN based on the device’s capabilities.
Periodic bursts of traffic may occur in the network that exceed a specific bandwidth subscription tier.
The bandwidth subscription limit is currently not enforced by the product (e.g., if you buy a 50 Mbps
license for an ION 2000 which is capable of handling 250 Mbps of throughput, the device will NOT be
capped at 50 Mbps). Palo Alto Networks reserves the right to add license monitoring and enforcement
in the future for new bandwidth subscription purchases and renewals.
Notes
• Clarity Network DVR and WAN Clarity Reporting are features which are enabled at the tenant (cus-
tomer) level. They must be purchased for every branch device. As such, if an existing customer has
previously purchased Clarity Network DVR, they must purchase Clarity Network DVR for all branch
devices in this new order.
• There are NO options to selectively have Clarity Network DVR and WAN Clarity Reporting for some
branch sites but not others.
• The zone-based firewall can be purchased on a per device basis, applicable for branch site only. Zone-
based firewalls cannot be enabled on a data center site.
• For the bandwidth on demand-based subscription, the ZBFW, Clarity Network DVR and WAN Clarity
Reporting subscriptions are already incorporated.
