What Is the ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall
SRX5308?
The ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308, hereafter referred to as the
VPN firewall, connects your local area network (LAN) to the Internet through up to four
external broadband access devices such as cable or DSL modems or satellite or wireless
Internet dishes. Four wide area network (WAN) ports allow you to increase effective data rate
to the Internet by utilizing all WAN ports to carry session traffic or to maintain backup
connections in case of failure of your primary Internet connection.
The VPN firewall routes both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. A powerful, flexible firewall protects your
IPv4 and IPv6 networks from denial of service (DoS) attacks, unwanted traffic, and traffic
with objectionable content. IPv6 traffic is supported through 6to4 and Intra-Site Automatic
Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnels.
