Product Brief
The Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 series provides modular security services for enterprise and data center environments. The FPR4K-XNM-8X1GF network module is part of the Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 platform, delivering 8 ports of 1-Gb 1000Base-T Ethernet with hardware bypass functionality.
This module allows for seamless traffic flow even in the case of software or hardware failures, thanks to its fail-to-wire capabilities. It’s particularly beneficial in scenarios where the firewall only needs to monitor or log traffic without processing it. The FPR4K-XNM-8X1GF is compatible with Cisco’s Secure Firewall Threat Defense and ASA, providing a reliable solution for network security, with easy maintenance and scalability.
Key Features
- Hardware Bypass Mode: Provides Layer 1 bypass, allowing uninterrupted network connectivity during failures.
- Hot-swappable: Ensures that the system remains operational even during module replacements.
- High Availability: Supports Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense or ASA for advanced security features.
- 8x 1-Gb Ports: Provides robust connectivity for edge networks with up to 8 ports of 1-Gb copper Ethernet.
- Compatibility: Fully integrated with the Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 chassis, supporting both ASA and Threat Defense software.
