The Switch segments branch offices into security domains:
•
The Switch provides the
Wired Security
and also enhances port density. Use it to segment a network into
different VLANs or zones.
•
The Switch also supports access points, which provides
Wireless Security
. APs can connect to firewall or
to the Switch.
•
Capture Client provides
Endpoint Security
.
SD-WAN plays a major role in a branch solution by providing an essential software component.
Daisy Chaining of Switches allows up to Four Switches to be concurrently managed by the firewall. Three can be
daisy chained with one parent Switch, or two parent Switches sharing one child Switch.
