Product Features
Technical Overview
The expansion module delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s per port using 10GBase-X technology. Each of the two slots accepts industry-standard SFP+ transceivers, which must be sourced separately to match the specific optical fiber cable type—singlemode or multimode—and the required reach distance for the deployment.
As a plug-in module, it adopts a compact form factor that installs directly into a compatible appliance chassis. The module is hot-pluggable in supported systems, facilitating maintenance and upgrades without taking the entire firewall offline. Its operation is managed through the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall's unified security platform, ensuring traffic passing through these high-speed interfaces benefits from the same advanced threat protection, inspection, and policy enforcement as other firewall ports.
Key Product Advantages
This module transforms compatible Barracuda firewalls into high-performance gateways capable of handling bandwidth-intensive applications and large-scale data flows with enterprise-grade reliability.
Scalable 10GbE Uplinks
Add two native 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to your firewall, eliminating bottlenecks for internet-facing connections, data center interlinks, or aggregation points where gigabit speeds are insufficient.
- Enables 10Gbps full-duplex throughput per port
- Supports jumbo frames for efficient large data transfers
- Reduces latency for real-time applications
Optical Fiber Performance
Leverage the durability, immunity to EMI, and long-distance capabilities of optical fiber cabling. This module maintains signal integrity over greater distances compared to copper, with minimal loss for consistent high-speed performance.
- Ideal for campus or building-to-building links
- Secure, low-latency backbone connections
- Future-proofs network infrastructure
Seamless Firewall Integration
The module is specifically coded for Barracuda CloudGen Firewall F-Series models, ensuring full compatibility and centralized management. All traffic is subject to the firewall's comprehensive security stack.
- Unified policy and threat management
- Simplified deployment and monitoring
- Maintains TAA compliance for government contracts
Deployment / Use Cases
The BNGF600D.ET091 is engineered for network environments where firewall throughput must match high-speed core switching or WAN connectivity. It is particularly effective in scenarios requiring secure segmentation and inspection of high-volume traffic.
A primary use case is providing 10GbE uplinks from a Barracuda CloudGen Firewall to a core switch or router in a data center or large enterprise network. This setup ensures that security inspection does not become a bottleneck for internal server-to-server traffic or internet-bound flows. Another common deployment is as a high-speed trunk link between two firewalls in an active-active high-availability cluster, where low latency and high bandwidth are critical for state synchronization and failover performance.
Data Center Edge Security
Deploy at the data center perimeter to secure 10GbE internet or WAN connections, applying advanced threat protection, VPN, and bandwidth management to high-speed ingress/egress traffic.
High-Speed Internal Segmentation
Use within the data center to create secure zones between server farms, storage networks, or virtualized environments, inspecting east-west traffic at line rate without compromising performance.

FAQ
What specific Barracuda firewall models is this expansion module compatible with?
The BNGF600D.ET091 is designed for the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall F-Series models F600D.C10, F600D.C20, and F600D.E20. It plugs directly into these appliances to add two 10GBase-X SFP+ ports. Compatibility is ensured through specific coding for these platforms, and it is not intended for use with other firewall series or third-party devices.
Does this module include SFP+ transceivers, or do I need to purchase them separately?
The module itself does not include SFP+ transceivers. You must source compatible SFP+ optical transceivers separately based on your fiber optic cable type (singlemode or multimode) and the required reach distance. The module provides the SFP+ slots and 10GBase-X interface; the transceivers convert the electrical signals to optical signals for fiber cabling.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by each port on this expansion module?
Each of the two SFP+ ports supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabits per second) using 10GBase-X technology. This enables full-duplex 10GbE connectivity, suitable for high-throughput uplinks, trunk connections, or data-intensive application flows where gigabit speeds are insufficient.
Can this module be installed while the firewall is powered on?
Yes, the module is hot-pluggable in supported Barracuda CloudGen Firewall F-Series systems. This allows for installation, removal, or replacement without powering down the entire firewall appliance, minimizing network downtime and facilitating easier maintenance or upgrades in live environments.
