PRO 2040 Features
Streamlined GUI
The PRO 2040 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.
Integrated
Security Services
The PRO 2040 provides everything needed for
secure connectivity together with support
for SonicWALL's portfolio of security services
including Complete Anti-Virus, Content Filtering
Service and Global Security Client, without
the need to integrate separate devices or
software packages.
High-performance
Architecture
The PRO 2040 includes a powerful processor
and cryptographic accelerator to deliver the
best possible performance with 200 Mbps Stateful
Packet Inspection Firewall and 50 Mbps 3DES
and AES VPN throughput.
Hardware
AES Support
The PRO 2040 reflects SonicWALL's continued
commitment to next-generation open security
standards by including hardware-based acceleration
support for the AES encryption algorithm.
ISP
Failover
The PRO 2040 ensures continuous uptime for
Internet and IPSec VPN connectivity by failing
over to a second ISP link should the primary
link fail. Through ISP Failover, the PRO 2040
delivers highly reliable network connectivity
for constant access to critical data.
WAN
Redundancy and Load Balancing
The PRO 2040 offers the ability to configure
the Optional port as a secondary WAN port,
delivering highly reliable network connectivity
and robust performance. This secondary WAN
port can be used in "active-active"
load sharing or Failover configuration providing
a highly efficient method for maximizing total
network bandwidth.
Hardware
Failover
When in "Hardware Failover" mode,
should the active unit fail, the passive unit
assumes responsibility for forwarding traffic,
offering greater reliability and redundancy.
Flexible
Fourth Port
Upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced activates a
fourth user-assigned port on the PRO 2040
that can be configured either as an additional
LAN, WAN or DMZ, or as a Hardware Failover
port, offering greater network configuration
flexibility.
Multiple
Interfaces per Security Zone
The PRO 2040 allows network administrators
to group multiple physical interfaces on into
logical "Zones" for ease of management
and flexibility. Using zones as the logical
addressing entity provides tremendous flexibility,
scalability and added internal security when
deploying SonicWALL firewalls in various network
topologies.
Object/Policy-based
Management
The PRO 2040 provides the ability to define
an object such as a user group, network, service
or interface. When security policies change,
the administrator can modify the pre-defined
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 PRO 2040 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.
