Technical Details
The SonicWall NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 is a 1U rackmount next-generation firewall running SonicOS 7, with 16×1GbE RJ45, 3×10/5/2.5/1GbE SFP+. Threat Prevention throughput is 3 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled (5.2 Gbps firewall inspection), and it holds up to 1,500,000 concurrent SPI connections. This part number is Appliance Only: SonicWall support and optional security subscriptions are sold separately. It is used at a campus or main-office internet edge, in the DMZ and between user and server segments.
Best For
The NSa 2700 suits a campus or main-office internet edge that needs 3 Gbps of Threat Prevention throughput and up to 1,500,000 concurrent SPI connections. It suits buyers who already hold SonicWall support or plan to add it. Size against the Threat Prevention figure, not the firewall inspection throughput.
Not suitable if:
- your inspected traffic exceeds 3 Gbps, the published Threat Prevention throughput
- you need security services included in the part number, since this one is Appliance Only

FAQ
Does the SonicWall NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 include a security subscription?
No. The 02-SSC-4324 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 NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 handle?
SonicWall publishes no user count, so size the NSa 2700 on its figures. Firewall inspection throughput is 5.2 Gbps, but Threat Prevention throughput is 3 Gbps with Gateway AV, Anti-Spyware, IPS and Application Control enabled; size against that. It holds 1,500,000 concurrent SPI connections and 500,000 DPI connections, and opens 21,000 new connections per second.
What interfaces does the SonicWall NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 have?
The NSa 2700 provides 16×1GbE RJ45, 3×10/5/2.5/1GbE SFP+. Management and console connectivity is 1×1GbE RJ45 out-of-band management, 1×Console, 2×USB 3.0. Transceivers for any SFP-type ports are sold separately.
Does the SonicWall NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 support high availability?
The NSa 2700 supports Active/Passive high availability; stateful synchronization requires SonicWall's optional Stateful HA Upgrade license for the NSa 2700 series.
What is the difference between the NSa 2700 and the NSa 3700?
Both run the same SonicOS 7. The NSa 2700 is rated at 5.2 Gbps firewall inspection throughput, 3 Gbps Threat Prevention throughput and 1,500,000 concurrent SPI connections; the NSa 3700 is rated at 5.5 Gbps, 3.5 Gbps and 2,000,000. Check both interface sets in the specification tables.
Does the 02-SSC-4324 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 NSa 2700 02-SSC-4324 managed?
The NSa 2700 is managed through Network Security Manager (NSM), and locally through the SonicOS web interface and CLI. Firewall policy, SD-WAN, 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.
Is the 02-SSC-4324 end of sale?
Yes. SonicWall's Last Time Buy notice for the NSa 2700 set its Last Order Day at October 31, 2025, with Active Retirement Mode from November 1, 2025, Limited Retirement Mode from November 1, 2027, the last one-year support order on November 1, 2029 and End of Support on November 1, 2030. SonicWall recommends the NSa 2800 and above as the replacement.
