Hardware TZ480

Option Total Secure (Appliance + 1Y APSS)

  • Industry-validated security effectiveness for small organisations
  • 4 Gbps firewall inspection throughput for high-speed traffic
  • 8 x 1GbE RJ45 and 2 x 5G/2.5G/1G SFP ports for flexible connectivity
  • Advanced Protection Security Suite with gateway anti-virus, IPS and TLS decryption
  • Centralised cloud management via Network Security Manager with zero-touch deployment

Target deployment

The SonicWall TZ480 is a desktop firewall appliance built for small organisations and distributed enterprises that run SD-Branch sites. It ships with a one-year Advanced Protection Security Suite licence covering gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, TLS decryption and reputation-based content filtering.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your rack or desk space accommodates a desktop form factor and that the 100-240 VAC power source matches local mains. Confirm the eight 1 GbE copper ports and two 5G/2.5G/1G SFP slots align with your existing switch uplinks and WAN circuits. Ensure SonicOS 8 is compatible with current management workflows and that optional storage expansion up to 512 Gb is planned if logging retention needs grow.

Upgrade perspective

The unit replaces older desktop firewalls that lack 2.2 Gbps threat-prevention throughput, 1,200,000 concurrent connections or Secure SD-WAN capability. The performance jump is worth it when branch offices need Zero-Touch Deployment, centralised Network Security Manager control and integrated Wi-Fi 6 firewall management without adding separate controllers.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the TZ480 and do I need to buy SFP modules separately?

The appliance includes the desktop unit with 8 x 1GbE RJ45 ports, 2 x 5G/2.5G/1G SFP cages, one Micro-USB console port and one USB-C port; SFP transceivers are not included and must be purchased separately for fibre links.

Which licence tier is bundled with part number 03-SSC-6973 and what does it cover?

The SKU ships with a 1-Year Advanced Protection Security Suite (APSS) that adds gateway anti-virus, anti-spyware, intrusion prevention, TLS decryption, reputation-based content filtering and cloud management via Network Security Manager.

What does the 4 Gbps firewall inspection throughput mean for my 2.5 Gbps WAN link?

The 4 Gbps inspection ceiling is well above a 2.5 Gbps circuit, so the TZ480 can scan all traffic at line rate without becoming a bottleneck.
