Designed for small offices

The SonicWall TZ280 is a desktop firewall appliance built for home offices, small offices and lean branches. It ships with a two-year Advanced Protection Security Suite that bundles threat prevention, content filtering and centralised cloud management. The unit supports up to one thousand users and one million simultaneous sessions.

Installation and common issues

The appliance fits on a desk at 3.5 by 13 by 19 centimetres and weighs .82 kilograms. Eight 1GbE RJ45 ports, two 1G SFP slots, a Micro-USB console and a USB-C port provide flexible connectivity. Zero-Touch Deployment and the SonicExpress app simplify onboarding, though fibre modules for the SFP ports must be sourced separately.

Ideal buyers and limits

This model suits teams that need integrated SD-WAN, Wi-Fi 6 management and DNS security without a dedicated rack. Organisations requiring higher threat-prevention throughput, more than two SFP interfaces or redundant power supplies should evaluate larger platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 1.5 Gbps IPS throughput is active after configuration?

Run traffic through the appliance and watch the real-time dashboard in Network Security Manager; the IPS counter should sustain up to 1.5 Gbps without packet drops.

What comes in the box and which items must be purchased separately?

The box contains the TZ280 desktop unit, a power cord, and a Micro-USB console cable. SFP transceivers, a 512 GB storage module, and any additional Secure Upgrade Plus licences are sold separately.

Which licence tier matches the 2-year Advanced Protection Security Suite included with part 03-SSC-6925?

Part 03-SSC-6925 already bundles the 2-year APSS licence, providing gateway anti-virus, intrusion prevention, TLS decryption, CFS 5.0 content filtering and NSM central management for the full term.
