Firewall Sandwich

You can deploy and configure a SonicWall Firewall Sandwich to improve availability, scalability, and manageability across the IT infrastructure. Deployment of the Firewall Sandwich provides the following features:

• Scalability - add more capacity as you go, reusing existing equipment
• Redundancy and resiliency – primary and secondary components
• Inline upgrades – upgrade firewalls and switches without shutting down the system
• Single point of management - manage policies for multiple firewall clusters and blades
• Full security services - including DPI-SSL capability

Firewall Sandwich deployment and configuration can be implemented using these equipment and services:

• Dell Force10 Series switches, such as the S5000, S4810, S4048, or S6000 running FTOS v9.8+.
• SonicWall services, such as Gateway Anti-Virus, Intrusion Prevention, ASPR, DPI-SSL, and CFS in conjunction with Single Sign-On All in Wire Mode.
