The SonicWALL® PRO 2040 is a flexible, powerful andeasy-to-use total security platform that protects your network resources,increases the productivity of your employees, and keeps your businessrunning—without interruption. Optimized for networks of up to 200 nodes or 50network locations, the PRO 2040 packs the benefits of the SonicOS operatingsystem into an affordable, rack-mounted appliance, providing advanced securityfeatures and configuration flexibility. This highly integrated appliancecombines deep packet inspection firewall and IPSec VPN capabilities withsupport for gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, contentfiltering and spam blocking to deliver true layered security.
An optional upgrade, SonicOS Enhanced adds a suite ofadvanced security and networking features, including ISP failover, object-basedmanagement, policy-based NAT and more. In addition, SonicOS Enhanced activatesa fourth interface that can be configured either as an additional LAN, WAN orDMZ, or as a hardware failover port, ensuring continuous network uptime.
Features and Benefits
Powerful deep packetinspection firewall protects against malicious application layer attacksoriginating from either internal or external sources
Integrated gatewayanti-virus, anti-spyware and intrusion prevention support secures thenetwork against a comprehensive array of dynamic threats including viruses,spyware, worms, Trojans and software vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows,as well as peer-to-peer and instant messenger applications, backdoor exploitsand other malicious code
Dynamic Domain NameService (DDNS) support drastically reduces the costs associated withhosting e-mail servers, Web servers and site-to-site VPN by allowing the use ofdynamic IP addresses
Award-winning GlobalManagement System (GMS) provides comprehensive management and reportingtools for simplified configuration, enforcement and management of globalsecurity policies, VPN and services, all from a central location
SonicOS Enhanced Firmware Upgrade Adds
Flexible fourth portcan be configured either as an additional LAN, WAN, WLAN, DMZ or a hardwarefailover port, offering greater network configuration flexibility
Real-time blacklistspam blocking provides the ability to use DNS to query Real-time Black List(RBL) services that track well-known spam and open-relay SMTP servers and todeny SMTP connections from servers that appear on the lists
Integrated wirelessLAN services enable the appliance to function as a secure wireless switchand controller that automatically detects and configures SonicPoints, SonicWALLwireless access points, as they are added to the network while simultaneouslyenforcing security policies on all wired and wireless traffic
Advanced security andnetworking features include WAN/WAN failover, distributed wireless, zoneand object-based management, load balancing, policy based routing, support forRIPv2 and OSPF dynamic routing, advanced NAT modes, QoS and more
