Hardware TZ680

Configuration Total Secure (Appliance + 1Y APSS)

  • Industry-validated security effectiveness protects mid-sized organisations
  • 00 Gbps firewall inspection throughput enables high-speed traffic analysis
  • 8 x 1GbE and 2 x 10G/5G/2.5G/1G SFP ports provide flexible connectivity
  • Zero-Touch Deployment and NSM simplify branch rollout and management
  • Advanced Protection Security Suite bundles threat services with cloud management

Mid-sized organisation security

The SonicWall TZ680 is a desktop firewall appliance built for mid-sized organisations and distributed enterprises with SD-Branch locations. It runs SonicOS 8 and includes a one-year Advanced Protection Security Suite covering gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and TLS decryption. Eight 1 GbE copper ports and two multi-rate SFP ports provide flexible wired connectivity. Centralised management is handled through Network Security Manager.

Sustained throughput profile

Under continuous load the appliance delivers 5.00 Gbps firewall inspection throughput and 3 Gbps application inspection throughput. IPS throughput holds at 3 Gbps while threat prevention and anti-malware inspection run at 2.5 Gbps. VPN throughput is rated at 2.5 Gbps. The platform supports up to 1,600,000 concurrent connections and 26,000 new connections per second. Maximum power draw is 16.99 W from a 100-240 VAC supply.

Upgrade context and limits

This unit replaces older desktop firewalls that lack multi-gigabit SFP interfaces and the Gen 8 persistent-performance architecture. The jump is worthwhile when sites need 10G/5G/2.5G/1G uplink flexibility and integrated SD-WAN with zero-touch deployment. It does not suit buyers who require redundant power supplies, higher port density or rackmount form factors. Optional storage expansion up to 512 Gb is available separately.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 16.99 W maximum power draw produce when the TZ680 runs continuously?

The appliance draws up to 16.99 W from a 100-240 VAC supply, so sustained operation adds roughly that many watts of heat to the rack or desk space.

Which SFP transceivers must I already own to use the two 10G/5G/2.5G/1G SFP ports?

The ports accept standard SFP+ modules at 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps; you supply the transceivers and matching fibre or copper cables.

Can the 8 x 1GbE copper ports link directly to legacy 100 Mb switches without extra configuration?

Yes, each RJ45 port auto-negotiates down to 100 Mbps full-duplex, so older Fast Ethernet gear connects immediately.
