Product Features
Technical Overview
The TZ470 firewall appliance operates on a robust security architecture that includes stateful packet inspection, application control, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection. Encryption standards span DES, 3DES, and AES up to 256-bit, alongside MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, ensuring data integrity across VPN tunnels and inspected traffic.
Network connectivity is built around 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet technology with backward compatibility to 10/100/1000Base-T standards. The appliance includes two SFP+ expansion slots for fiber uplinks or additional network interfaces, providing deployment flexibility. A USB port is available for management or storage expansion, while PoE is not supported on the RJ-45 ports.
