SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 1U Rackmount Firewall, Secure Upgrade Appliance Only
Overview
The SonicWall Gen 7 NSsp (Network Security services platform) Series is a high-port-density next-generation firewall line built to process several million connections for zero-day and advanced threats in large enterprises. The 02-SSC-2293 is the NSsp 11700 Secure Upgrade appliance. It carries no attached subscription and is offered only as an upgrade to an existing SonicWall appliance with an active SonicProtect subscription. Support and optional security subscriptions are otherwise sold separately.
Technical Details
The SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 is a 1U rackmount next-generation firewall running SonicOS 7, with 16×1GbE RJ45, 4×10/5/2.5/1GbE RJ45, 4×10/5/2.5/1GbE SFP+, 8×25/10/5/2.5GbE SFP28, 2×100/40GbE QSFP28. Threat Prevention throughput is 37 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled (47 Gbps firewall inspection), and it holds up to 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections and opens 280,000 new connections per second. This part number is Appliance Only: SonicWall support and optional security subscriptions are sold separately. It is used at a large-enterprise or data-center edge for north-south inspection and high-connection-count workloads.
Best For
The NSsp 11700 suits a large-enterprise or data-center edge that needs 37 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and up to 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections. It suits existing SonicProtect subscribers upgrading their hardware. Size against the Threat Prevention figure, not the firewall inspection throughput.
Not suitable if:
- your inspected traffic exceeds 37 Gbps, the published Threat Prevention throughput
- you need security services included in the part number, since this one is Appliance Only
- you do not hold an active SonicProtect subscription, since this upgrade appliance is restricted to SonicProtect customers

FAQ
Does the SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 include a security subscription?
No. The 02-SSC-2293 is Appliance Only: firewall, VPN and routing run on SonicOS 7, while SonicWall support and security subscriptions such as the Advanced Protection Security Suite are sold separately.
How much traffic can the SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 handle?
SonicWall publishes no user count, so size the NSsp 11700 on its figures. Firewall inspection throughput is 47 Gbps, but Threat Prevention throughput is 37 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled; size against that. It holds 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections and 17,000,000 DPI connections, and opens 280,000 new connections per second.
What interfaces does the SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 have?
The NSsp 11700 provides 16×1GbE RJ45, 4×10/5/2.5/1GbE RJ45, 4×10/5/2.5/1GbE SFP+, 8×25/10/5/2.5GbE SFP28, 2×100/40GbE QSFP28. Management and console connectivity is 1×1GbE RJ45 out-of-band management, 1×Console, 2×USB (type-A). Transceivers for any SFP-type ports are sold separately.
Does the SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 support high availability?
The NSsp 11700 supports Active/Passive high availability with stateful synchronization. The NSsp datasheet prints no clustering mode, so none is claimed for this appliance.
What is the difference between the NSsp 11700 and the NSsp 13700?
Both run SonicOS 7. The NSsp 11700 is rated at 47 Gbps firewall inspection throughput, 37 Gbps Threat Prevention throughput and 20,000,000 concurrent SPI connections; the NSsp 13700 is rated at 60 Gbps, 45.5 Gbps and 25,000,000. Check both interface sets in the specification tables.
Who can buy the 02-SSC-2293?
Only existing SonicWall customers. SonicWall offers the 02-SSC-2293 only as an upgrade to an existing SonicWall appliance with an active SonicProtect subscription, and it carries no attached subscription. Network Devices Inc. confirms eligibility before ordering.
Does the 02-SSC-2293 include SonicWall support?
Support is not included with an Appliance Only part number. SonicWall support and optional security subscriptions are sold separately, and Network Devices Inc. confirms the correct support option before the order is placed.
How is the SonicWall NSsp 11700 02-SSC-2293 managed?
The NSsp 11700 is managed through Network Security Manager (NSM) 3.0 and above, and locally through the SonicOS web interface and CLI. Firewall policy, VPN and high availability are configured on the appliance; the security services on it are licensed separately unless this part number bundles them. SonicWall includes centralized management and alerting as part of support, so NSM management needs an active support contract or security bundle.
What condition is the 02-SSC-2293 sold in, and what warranty applies?
Network Devices Inc. supplies the 02-SSC-2293 new and factory sealed. It is covered by a one-year Network Devices Inc. warranty and a 30-day return window. Orders ship from our New Jersey and Texas warehouses.
