1.3.2 Maximizing Throughput

The ZyWALL has one internal bus for ports P1-P7and another for port P8. To maximize the ZyWALL’s throughput, use P8 for your connection with the most traffic.

The ZyWALL has a slot for adding an optional Security Extension Module (SEM) to enhance the ZyWALL’s VPN and /or Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities.

•The VPN module (SEM-VPN) increases the maximum VPN throughput from 100 Mbps to 500 Mbps, the maximum number of IPSec VPN tunnels from 1,000 to 2,000 and the maximum number of SSL VPN users from 250 (with a license) to 750 (with a license).

•The UTM module (SEM-UTM) increases the maximum anti-virus and IDP traffic throughput from 100 Mbps to 400 Mbps.

•The SEM-DUAL module provides the performance enhancements of both the VPN and UTM modules.
