Frequently asked
When is the Palo Alto PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4 end of life?
Palo Alto's published notice sets End-of-Sale for the PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4 at May 16, 2024. The published end-of-support date is May 16, 2029, after which vendor support ends. Check the milestones on this page and plan the refresh ahead of the support cutoff.
What replaces the Palo Alto PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4?
Palo Alto's notice names the PAN-QSFP40G-BASE-LR4 or PAN-QSFP40G-BASE-BIDI as the recommended migration. Uniqcli can quote current replacement options against your install base, with TAA country-of-origin screening on request.
Can I still buy or get support for the PAN-QSFP-40GBASE-LM4?
New units are no longer sold by Palo Alto after the End-of-Sale date; remaining channel stock and refurbished units are the only sources. Vendor support continues until May 16, 2029 under an active support contract. For a fleet still running this hardware, the practical next step is a refresh plan — request a quote and we will price the current replacement.
