3COM 3C17546 SWITCH 8800 FIREWALL MODULE

The 3Com Switch 8800 Firewall Module delivers an unprecedented level of security integrated within the Switch 8800 system. This module provides a stateful firewall that operates in either routed or transparent mode, and offers security features such as high-efficiency packet filtering, transparent proxy, stateful detection and more. In addition to this broad range of security protection measures defending at the network layer, multiple analytical and management tools are provided to fully protect the network. Designed for the needs of medium-sized enterprises, the module has its own operating system, allowing the firewall processes to be separate from the switch processing. By embedding the firewall within the module, the need for additional appliances or devices is reduced, eliminating redundant management of multiple devices and lowering capital expenditures and reducing operating costs.
