The Palo Alto Networks PA-440 is the compact desktop model in the PA-400 Series of ML-powered next-generation firewalls (NGFW). It runs the same PAN-OS, App-ID, User-ID and threat prevention engine as Palo Alto’s enterprise firewalls, which makes it the most cost-effective way to get hands-on with the full platform.
This PA-440 Lab bundle pairs the lab unit (PAN-PA-440-LAB) with a 1-year Lab subscription (PAN-PA-440-BND-LAB4) that turns on nearly every major Palo Alto security service at a fraction of production pricing. Build realistic policies, stage customer configurations, test PAN-OS upgrades and practise for the PCNSE exam on real hardware.
Measured on PAN-OS 10.1. See the Additional Information tab for test conditions.
Per the Palo Alto Networks EULA, Lab and NFR SKUs may not be used in production. Full specs are in the official PA-400 Series datasheet.
These hardware figures come from the Palo Alto Networks PA-400 Series Hardware Reference. They describe the PA-440 appliance in this lab bundle.
| Specification | PA-440 |
|---|---|
| Dimensions (H × W × D) | 1.75″ × 8″ × 8.8″ (4.45 × 20.3 × 22.35 cm) |
| Rack units | 1U (desktop, rack-mountable with the optional rack tray) |
| Weight | 5.0 lbs (2.27 kg); shipping weight 7.8 lbs (3.54 kg) |
| Cooling | Fanless, passive cooling – the unit emits no sound |
| Power | External 50W power adapter included; 100–240V AC, 50–60Hz input, 12VDC output |
| Power redundancy | Two power inputs (PWR 1 and PWR 2); add a second adapter for load sharing and redundancy |
| Power consumption | 29W average / 34W maximum |
| Storage | 128 GB eMMC |
| Operating temperature | 32°F to 104°F (0° to 40°C) |
| Storage temperature | -4°F to 158°F (-20° to 70°C) |
| Humidity | 10% to 90% non-condensing |
| Max operating altitude | 10,000 ft (3,048 m) |
Because it is fanless and draws only 29W on average, the PA-440 lab bundle suits a home lab, a desk in the office or a shared training room, where a loud rack-mount firewall would be a problem.
The PA-440, PA-450 and PA-460 share the same front panel, so the skills you build on this lab unit carry straight over to the larger PA-400 Series models. The PA-440 provides:
Eight data ports is enough to model a realistic branch: separate inside, outside, DMZ and guest segments, a dedicated SD-WAN or VPN link, and spare ports for an HA or test segment.
Each subscription in the PA-440 lab bundle unlocks a different set of features. Here is what you can practise with each one:
The PA-440 runs full PAN-OS, so you can build zone-based security policies, apply App-ID to control applications regardless of port, and map traffic to users and groups with User-ID. These are the core skills behind every Palo Alto Networks deployment, and they work the same way on this lab unit as on larger enterprise firewalls.
Apply antivirus, anti-spyware and vulnerability protection profiles to your rules. Then watch the threat logs to see how the firewall detects exploits, malware and command-and-control traffic. You can tune actions, create exceptions and practise reading threat reports, all without putting a production network at risk.
Build URL filtering profiles by category, block or alert on risky sites, and test credential phishing protection. The PA-440 lab bundle lets you see how category-based policy behaves before you roll it out to users.
Forward unknown files to WildFire cloud analysis and review the verdicts in the logs. This is the best way to understand how zero-day malware is detected and how new signatures reach the firewall.
Apply DNS Security to your anti-spyware profiles and test how the firewall handles malicious domains, DNS tunneling and DNS-based attacks. You can also practise DNS sinkholing, which helps you find infected hosts on a network.
Configure a GlobalProtect portal and gateway, connect test endpoints and apply host-based posture checks. GlobalProtect is included in the PA-440 lab bundle but not in the Core Security bundle, which makes this unit a strong choice for remote-access VPN labs.
Set up SD-WAN interfaces, path quality profiles and traffic distribution rules to see how the firewall picks the best link for each application. This is useful for MSPs and integrators who design branch WAN deployments for customers.
Simulators and virtual labs are useful, but nothing replaces configuring a physical firewall. With the PA-440 lab bundle you can work through the topics that come up most in Palo Alto Networks certification study:
Because the PA-440 lab bundle includes a full year of subscriptions and support, you can keep your content updates current while you study. Check the latest Palo Alto Networks exam blueprint for the exact topics on your exam.
For repeatable lab builds, you can use the USB bootstrap feature. It loads a saved configuration and licenses onto the firewall from a USB drive. This makes it easy to reset the PA-440 between training sessions or customer demos.
You can manage the PA-440 locally through the PAN-OS web interface and CLI. It can also be managed centrally with Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager, alongside the rest of the PA-400 Series. MSPs and integrators can use a PA-440 lab bundle to test centralized management workflows, templates and device groups before using them on customer networks.
The eight data ports on the PA-440 give you room for several useful lab designs. Here are three common ways to set up a PA-440 lab bundle:
Connect one port to your internet router (untrust zone), one to a lab switch (trust zone) and one to a small server segment (DMZ zone). This is the classic starting point for learning security policy, source NAT for outbound traffic, destination NAT for published services, and security profiles on inbound and outbound rules. Add a guest zone on a fourth port to practise URL filtering and user-based policy for different groups.
Configure a GlobalProtect portal and gateway on the untrust interface and connect test laptops from outside the lab network. If you have a second Palo Alto Networks firewall, or another IPsec-capable device, you can also build a site-to-site tunnel and practise routing, tunnel monitoring and troubleshooting. This is a good way to stage a customer VPN design before it goes live.
Use two or more ports as separate WAN links, such as two internet connections or a simulated MPLS link, and build SD-WAN path quality profiles and traffic distribution rules. Then degrade one link to watch how the firewall moves application traffic. Integrators can use this setup to demonstrate SD-WAN behavior to customers on real hardware.

Can I use the PA-440 Lab bundle on a production network?
No. Palo Alto Networks’ EULA prohibits Lab/NFR SKUs in production. For live business traffic, choose the PA-440 Core Security bundle.
What’s the difference between PAN-PA-440-LAB and PAN-PA-440-BND-LAB4?
PAN-PA-440-LAB is the lab hardware unit. PAN-PA-440-BND-LAB4 is the 1-year Lab subscription bundle. This listing includes both.
Is the PA-440 good for PCNSE exam preparation?
Yes. It runs full PAN-OS with the subscriptions covered in the PCNSE blueprint, so you can practise security policy, NAT, decryption, GlobalProtect and threat profiles on real hardware.
What happens after the first year?
The firewall keeps passing traffic, but subscriptions and support stop until you renew. A 1-year PA-440 Lab renewal is $291.
Is the PA-440 fanless?
Yes. The PA-440 uses passive cooling, has no fans and emits no sound, according to Palo Alto Networks’ hardware reference. That makes the PA-440 lab bundle a good fit for desks, home labs and training rooms.
How much power does the PA-440 use?
Palo Alto Networks lists average power consumption at 29W and maximum at 34W. The included external adapter accepts 100–240V AC, 50–60Hz.
Does the PA-440 support redundant power?
Yes. The back panel has two power inputs. The firewall ships with one power adapter, and you can add a second for load sharing and power redundancy.
How big is the PA-440?
It measures 1.75″ H × 8″ W × 8.8″ D and weighs 5.0 lbs (2.27 kg). It sits on a desk or mounts in a standard rack with the optional PA-400 Series rack tray.
How many ports does the PA-440 have?
Eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 Ethernet data ports. There is also a dedicated 1 Gbps management port, RJ-45 and micro USB console ports, and two USB ports.
Does the firewall need internet access to activate the lab subscriptions?
The firewall uses its management port to retrieve licenses and download threat and application signature updates, so the MGT port needs internet access to activate and update the subscriptions in the PA-440 lab bundle.
Can I manage the PA-440 with Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager?
Yes. You can manage the PA-440 locally through the web interface or CLI, or centrally with Panorama or Strata Cloud Manager.
Is a power adapter included with the PA-440 lab bundle?
Yes. The PA-440 ships with one external power adapter that connects to either power input on the back panel. If you want power redundancy for your lab, you can add a second adapter to the other input. A ground cable is not included.
How long does shipping take?
Current estimated delivery is approximately 10 weeks (Palo Alto Networks supply chain delays). We ship nationwide.
Can the PA-440 be rack-mounted?
Yes, with the optional PA-400 Series rack tray.
