NetVanta 2830
Unified Threat Management
The NetVanta 2830 applies Unified Threat
Management (UTM) Firewall technology
against a comprehensive array of attacks,
combining intrusion prevention, anti-virus
and anti-spyware with the application-level
control of Application Intelligence and
Control.
With advanced routing, stateful
high-availability and high-speed IPSec and
SSL VPN technology, the NetVanta 2830 adds
security, reliability, functionality and produc-
tivity to branch offices, central sites and
distributed mid-enterprise networks, while
minimizing cost and complexity.
The NetVanta 2830 revolutionizes network
security, utilizing a breakthrough multi-core
design and patented Reassembly-Free Deep
Packet Inspection™ (RFDPI) technology*
from SonicWALL. Overcoming the limitations
of existing security solutions, the NetVanta
2830 scans the entirety of each packet for
current threats in real time. Its high-speed,
multi-core processing platform enables
deep packet inspection without adversely
impacting the performance of mission-critical
networks and applications.
Hardware
This security appliance offers Gigabit
Ethernet WAN and LAN interfaces, along with
four additional Gigabit interfaces that can be
configured for redundant WAN links or for
additional LAN or DMZ networks.
Reassembly-Free Deep Packet Inspection
Due to its unique design, the RFDPI engine
is not memory limited because it does not
“proxy” traffic, which frees up resources for
fast inspection of tens of thousands of simul-
taneous data streams of unlimited size. This
real-time inspection method can analyze
files and content going across any port in any
direction with extremely low latency, without
reassembling packets or application content
while still blocking malware. This design leads
to efficient and reliable high performance
inspection and an improved user experience.
Application Intelligence and Control
Application Intelligence and Control offers
granular application-level access controls to
manage bandwidth and prevent leaks of sensitive
or proprietary information.
Administrators can define policy-based
blocking or restrictions of specific applications,
such as bandwidth-intensive streaming audio,
video and peer-to-peer programs. This includes
the restriction of application specific file types
(e.g., EXE, PIF, SRC, VBS). In addition, outbound
transmissions can also be blocked based on
sensitive, proprietary or watermarked data.
Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
Advanced IPSec and SSL VPN connectivity
options provide secure, high-speed office-to-
office and individual remote user access. The
NetVanta 2830 has no restrictions on the number
of users on the LAN and can support up to 75
simultaneous site-to-site VPN tunnels with the
High Availability (HA) upgrade.
PortShield Port Security
This unit offers port-level security for flexible
protection from traffic on the WAN and devices
inside your network by easily grouping ports into
logical units.
Disaster Recovery
Automated failover and failback ensures contin-
uous uptime of VPN tunnels by diverting traffic
over alternate WAN connections in the event of
primary connection failure.
Configuration
Intuitive configuration wizards simplify even
the most complicated tasks, including VPN
set-up, NAT configuration and public server
configuration.
Management and Reporting
ViewPoint is an easy-to-use Web-based reporting
tool that fully complements the NetVanta UTM
appliance by providing insight into the health
of the network including both performance and
security. For additional management capabilities,
the Global Management System (GMS) provides
comprehensive management and reporting tools
for simplified configuration, enforcement and
management from a central location.

analysis and blocking.
