SonicWALL TZ 170 Overview/FAQPrepared by SonicWALL, Inc.10/20/2003 Announcement Overview SonicWALL announces the new TZ 170 Internet security appliance. The SonicWALL TZ 170 is a total security platform for home, small, remote and branch offices, featuring an integrated 5-port, auto-MDIX switch and an Optional Port that can be configured as a WorkPort for telecommuters, a second WAN for ISP Fail-Over and Load Balancing or a second LAN for added network flexibility. This high performance stateful packet inspection firewall ships in multiple node configurations and comes standard with IPSec VPN, site-to-site VPN and bundled VPN Client sessions. Utilizing SonicWALL’s feature-rich SonicOS operating system, the TZ 170 offers a choice between absolute ease-of-use for basic networks and ultimate flexibility for networks with more complex needs. SonicOS Standard, included with every TZ 170, allows rapid deployment in basic networks with a user-friendly Web interface and powerful wizards. Building upon SonicOS Standard, SonicOS Enhanced is an optional software upgrade that provides advanced features including WAN ISP Fail-Over, Object-Based Management and Policy-Based NAT, for more complex network installations. With integrated support for SonicWALL’s portfolio of optional security services, the TZ 170 delivers rock-solid network security, powerful performance and low total-cost-of-ownership in a flexible, scalable solution. The SonicWALL TZ 170 with SonicOS Standard provides: Ease-of-Use and Management. The SonicWALL TZ 170 features an innovative Web interface that utilizes a comprehensive suite of easy-to-use configuration and management wizards, making it simple to set up in any network environment. WorkPort. The SonicWALL TZ 170 includes an Optional Port that can be configured as a WorkPort, creating an independent, isolated zone of trusted network security that protects corporate networks from malicious attacks that can occur when telecommuters share broadband Internet access with networked home computers. Integrated 5-port MDIX Switch. The SonicWALL TZ 170 features an integrated 5-port auto-MDIX switch that allows multiple home or office computers to network together. The MDIX feature automatically and transparently detects and corrects incorrectly wired cables such as cross-over cables, making network installation substantially simpler and less expensive. SonicWALL Security Processor. Leveraging System-On-a-Chip technology, the SonicWALL TZ 170 delivers the best possible performance with 90 Mbps Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall and 30+ Mbps 3DES and AES VPN throughput. Single Hardware Platform. The TZ 170 is a total security platform available in multiple licensing options, allowing your network to grow along with your business. Comprehensive Central Management. SonicWALL’s award-winning Global Management System provides network administrators with the tools for simplified configuration, enforcement and management of global security policies, VPN and services, all from a central location. The SonicWALL TZ 170 with SonicOS Enhanced Adds: ISP Fail-Over. The TZ 170 ensures continuous uptime for Internet and IPSec VPN connectivity by failing over to a second ISP link should the primary link fail. Through ISP Fail-Over, the TZ 170 delivers highly reliable network connectivity for constant access to critical data. WAN Redundancy and Load Balancing. The TZ 170 offers the ability to configure the Optional Port as a secondary WAN port for greater redundancy and network performance. This secondary WAN port can be used in "active-active" load sharing or fail-over configuration providing a highly efficient method for maximizing total network bandwidth. Object-Based Management. The SonicWALL TZ 170 allow network administrators to define an object, such as a user group, network address range, service or interfaces, and then reuse that object wherever it is needed. When security policies or object members change, the administrator can modify the object and propagate the changes instantly without redefining rules, enabling businesses to implement and manage security policies easily and consistently. Policy-Based NAT. While continuing to provide standard NAT (many-to-one) functionality, the SonicWALL TZ 170 also exposes control of NAT policies to administrators for one-to-one NAT, many-to-many NAT, one-to-many NAT, inbound Port Address Translation (PAT), flexible NAT (for overlapping IP addresses) as well as NAT policies on selective source/destination/source translations. As a result, network administrators have more control and flexibility to support and manage various NAT requirements. The SonicWALL TZ 170 product and SKU information are as follows:
