Hardware TZ680

Configuration High Availability

  • 5 Gbps firewall inspection throughput for high-speed traffic analysis
  • 5 Gbps threat prevention throughput blocks attacks at line rate
  • 8 Gigabit Ethernet plus 2 multi-rate SFP ports for flexible connectivity
  • High Availability design provides automatic failover with a secondary unit
  • Centralised management via Network Security Manager simplifies distributed deployments

HA-ready TZ680 for mid-sized networks

The SonicWall TZ680 High Availability appliance (03-SSC-7014) serves as the secondary unit in an active-backup firewall pair. It targets mid-sized organisations and distributed enterprises running SD-Branch architectures. The desktop form factor runs SonicOS 8 and supports centralised management through Network Security Manager. Buyers needing a primary firewall or a standalone device should look elsewhere.

Desktop build with multi-gig SFP and USB-C console

Eight 1 GbE copper ports handle routine LAN traffic while two SFP ports accept 10G, 5G, 2.5G or 1G modules for uplinks or DMZ segments. A Micro-USB console port and a USB-C port give local access and storage expansion up to 512 Gb. The unit draws a maximum of 16.99 W from a 100-240 VAC supply and meets FCC Class B, CE and UL safety marks. Rack-mount installers will need a separate shelf or tray.

Replaces single-box firewalls when uptime is

Deploying this HA unit alongside an identical primary creates stateful failover so sessions survive a hardware fault without re-negotiation. The jump is worth it when business processes cannot tolerate the reboot window of a single appliance. Throughput figures stay identical at 5.00 Gbps firewall inspection, 3 Gbps IPS and 2.5 Gbps threat prevention. Organisations without a secondary-site budget or without 24/7 monitoring gain no advantage from the pairing.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 10G SFP interface cap at for threat prevention on the TZ680 HA unit?

The 10G SFP ports support up to 2.5 Gbps threat prevention throughput on this appliance.

What rack hardware is required to mount the desktop form factor TZ680 HA appliance?

The unit is a desktop form factor; optional rack-mount brackets are needed for 1U installation.

How is the High Availability pairing configured on the 03-SSC-7014, and which step is commonly missed?

Configure HA on the primary unit first, then connect the secondary; the step often missed is licensing the secondary unit for HA before pairing.
