Desktop firewall for small sites

The SonicWall TZ280 is a desktop security appliance built for home offices, small offices and lean branches. It provides eight 1 GbE copper ports and two 1 Gb SFP uplinks alongside a Micro-USB console and a USB-C port. Gen 8 architecture delivers higher throughput and AI-powered automation.

Suits teams needing integrated SD-WAN

Organisations that want Secure SD-WAN, Zero-Touch Deployment and centralised management through Network Security Manager will fit this model. Buyers who require multi-gigabit WAN interfaces, 10 GbE SFP+ slots or redundant power supplies should look at larger appliances.

Handles up to one million sessions

Firewall inspection runs at 2.5 Gbps while threat prevention, application inspection and IPS each sustain 1.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps. VPN throughput reaches 1.2 Gbps and the unit supports 1,000 users with 12,000 new connections per second. An expansion slot accepts up to 512 GB of storage for logging.

Questions about this item

What WAN connection do I need to use the 2.5 Gbps firewall inspection throughput on the TZ280?

You need an ISP link that can deliver at least 2.5 Gbps and a modem or ONT with a 1GbE or SFP port that connects to one of the appliance's eight RJ45 or two SFP interfaces.

Can I keep my existing 100 Mbps switches and still use the 1.5 Gbps IPS throughput on the TZ280?

Yes, the 1GbE RJ45 ports auto-negotiate down to 100 Mbps, but IPS throughput will be limited to the speed of the connected switch ports.

How do I verify the TZ280 is inspecting traffic at the rated 1 Gbps threat prevention throughput after setup?

Enable threat prevention policies, generate sustained traffic through the appliance, and check the real-time throughput graphs in Network Security Manager or the local dashboard.
