Cisco Secure Firewall 3130

★ 3.2 Value Score

Firewall Throughput: 38 Gbps (Firewall + AVC, 1024-byte packets)
Threat Prevention Throughput: 38 Gbps (Firewall + AVC + IPS, 1024-byte packets); threat/malware-enabled figure not published
IPsec VPN Throughput: 17.8 Gbps (FTD, 1024-byte TCP, fastpath); 33 Gbps projected with VPN offload on FTD 7.2
Max Sessions: 6,000,000 concurrent sessions (FTD with AVC)
New Sessions/sec: 240,000 new connections per second (FTD with AVC)
Interfaces: 8 x 10M/100M/1GBASE-T (RJ-45); 8 x 1/10/25G SFP; optional network module with 4 x 40G or 8 x 1/10/25G; up to 24 Ethernet ports total; 1 x 1/10G SFP management; 1 x RJ-45 console
Form Factor: 1RU rack-mount; dual 400W AC PSUs (1+1), optional DC

✔ Pros: Up to 38 Gbps firewall and AVC/IPS throughput (1024-byte packets); 6 million concurrent sessions and 240,000 new connections per second; 15,000 max VPN peers with 33 Gbps projected VPN throughput under offload on FTD 7.2; Up to 24 Ethernet ports with optional 40G network module for flexible uplink and segment design; Redundant 1+1 AC power supplies in a 1RU chassis, with an optional DC power variant
✘ Cons: High acquisition cost compared with mid-range firewalls, and reseller prices vary widely; Threat prevention throughput is not separately published, since the AVC+IPS figure matches the firewall figure and no malware-enabled number is listed; Headline VPN offload figure requires FTD 7.2 or later and is a projection; Published throughput uses 1024-byte lab traffic, so real-world mixed-traffic performance will likely be lower; Network module bay adds cost and configuration complexity for the 40G option
Est. Price: $59,480 - $138,825
