The enterprise-class Cisco Secure Firewall 3100 Series supports your evolving world. It makes hybrid work and zero trust practical, with the flexibility to ensure strong return on investment. The Cisco Secure Firewall 3100 Series is a family of four threat-focused security appliances that delivers business resiliency and superior threat defense. Each model offers outstanding performance for multiple firewall use cases, even when advanced threat functions are enabled. These performance capabilities are enabled by a modern CPU architecture coupled with purpose-built hardware that optimizes firewall, cryptographic, and threat inspection functions.
The 3100 series also supports clustering to maximize performance, along with higher port density and Q-in-Q support that enables an expanded set of use cases. These capabilities flexibly support you as your needs evolve and the scale of your operations grows.
The series' firewall throughput range addresses use cases from the Internet edge to the data center and private cloud. 3100 Series platforms run either ASA or Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) software. The platforms can be deployed in both firewall and dedicated IPS modes. For inline sets and passive interfaces, the 3100 series supports Q-in-Q (stacked VLAN) up to two 802.1Q headers in a packet. The platform also support FTW (fail-to-wire) network modules.
