SonicWall 02-SSC-8988 NSa 6700 High Availability security appliance

SonicWall NSa 6700 High-Availability (02-SSC-8988) – Gen-7 36 Gbps NGFW with Stateful HA

Overview

The SonicWall NSa 6700 HA, part number 02-SSC-8988, is a Gen-7 next-generation firewall built for enterprises that need both performance and redundancy. This HA appliance acts as the standby unit in an active/passive firewall pair, providing stateful synchronization to ensure uninterrupted protection if the primary unit fails over.With performance specs of 36 Gbps firewall throughput and 19 Gbps threat prevention, it handles very high traffic volumes while maintaining deep security inspection, IPS, anti-malware, and SSL/TLS decryption. It supports up to 6,000 IPSec VPN tunnels, making it suitable for large sites, data centers, or WAN aggregation points.The firewall runs SonicOS 7.0, offering modern features such as SD-WAN, centralized management, and zero-touch provisioning. Its I/O is very rich: multiple multi-gig ports (including 10G, 25G, 40G), SFP+ slots, USB, and console, giving redundancy and connectivity flexibility. Designed to be rack-mounted in 1U, the HA appliance has redundant power options to ensure high availability in mission-critical environments.
