Chapter 1
8000 Series Chassis Designations
The
table lists the chassis designations for the
Series 3 models available world-wide.
Sourcefire 3D System Components
The sections that follow describe some of the key capabilities of the Sourcefire
3D System that contribute to your organization’s security, acceptable use policy,
and traffic management strategy.
TIP!
Many Sourcefire 3D System capabilities are appliance model, license, and
user role dependent. Where needed, Sourcefire documentation outlines the
requirements for each feature and task.
Redundancy and Resource Sharing
The redundancy and resource-sharing features of the Sourcefire 3D System allow
you to ensure continuity of operations and to combine the processing resources
of multiple physical devices:
•
Defense Center high availability allows you to designate redundant DC1000,
DC1500, DC3000, or DC3500 Defense Centers to manage devices.
•
Device stacking allows you to increase the amount of traffic inspected on a
network segment by connecting two to four physical devices in a stacked
configuration.
•
Device clustering allows you to establish redundancy of networking
functionality and configuration data between two or more Series 3 devices
or stacks.
