SteelConnect Overview
The SteelConnect gateways offer the benefits of software-defined networking (SDN) automation
coupled with the ability for customers to protect their privacy by storing their network configuration
locally. The gateways allow you to easily set up a secure connection between local area networks, data
centers, and home offices. Uplink balancing can be used for backup or load balancing purposes. The
Next Generation Firewall provides user-based and application-based firewalling.
This overview provides a description of the SteelConnect gateway appliances and includes the following
sections:

Branch gateway interfaces per model
The number of physical interfaces supported for each branch gateway model are:
SDI-130 - 2
SDI-330 - 2
SDI-1030 -12
The 130 and 330 gateway models have two physical interfaces.
Note:
After attaching a modem to one of the interfaces on a 130 or 330 gateway, you can only support two WANs on
that device. For example, MPLS on interface 1 and internet through a LTE modem on interface 2.
On the 1030 gateway model, you can configure all 12 ports as uplink interfaces, or as zone/multizone
interfaces. Although 12 uplinks are technically supported, realistically you need to use a port for at least
one LAN connection.
