 XG-1537 1U Rack Mountable pfSense Security Gateway Appliance Firewall Lan or WAN Router

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The XG-1537 1U pfSense Security Gateway Appliance is an excellent solution for
medium to large business to provide flexible configuration and support for multi-WAN, high availability,
VPN, load balancing, reporting and monitoring, etc. With preloaded pfSense software and 10Gbps SFP+
ports, the XG-1537 1U is a fast networking security solution unencumbered by traditional annual
contracts, licensing fees, or artificial limitations. It can be configured as a firewall, LAN or WAN router,
VPN appliance, DHCP Server, DNS Server, and IDS/IPS with optional packages to deliver a high
performance, high throughput front-line security appliance.

Featuring an Eight Core Intel Xeon® 1.7 GHz, upgradable memory up to 32 GB, and expandable network interfaces (up
to 8 ports) the Netgate 1537 achieves up to 18.76 Gbps routing performance.

L3 Forwarding

• IPERF3 Traffic: 18.76 Gbps

• IMIX Traffic: 15.23 Gbps

• IPERF3 Traffic: 6.50 Gbps

• IMIX Traffic: 1.68 Gbps
 • CPU: Eight Core Intel Xeon® 1.7 GHz, with AES-NI compatibility, significantly improves encrypted throughput
and increases RAM performance by up to 50%.

• Network Ports: Expandable up to 8 network ports the Netgate 1537 features (2) 10 GbE SFP+ WAN/LAN via SoC,
(2) 1 GbE LAN/WAN via Intel i350-AM2, and support for a 4-Port Intel 1 GbE RJ45, or a 2- or 4-Port X710 Intel 10
GbE SFP+ expansion card.

• Storage: 500 GB M.2 SSD

• Memory: 8 GB DDR4 (Expandable to 32 GB ECC), DDR4 memory allows more stable, higher transfer rates for
memory-intensive applications (e.g. IDS/IPS). Our hardware flexibility allows you to upgrade your memory at any
time to 32 GB, future-proofing this appliance.

pfSense Plus software provides the performance, flexibility, reliability and business assurance expected from leading
secure networking applications:

• Up to 10 Gbps performance
• Flexible 3rd-party application options
• Traditional management mechanisms
• Proven reliability
• Complete business assurance support
All at a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives, pfSense Plus software is the perfect answer. Popular pfSense Plus
use cases include load balancing, traffic shaping, captive portal, UTM device, DNS/DHCP Server, IDS/IPS, transparency
caching proxy, web content filtering, failover WAN, and much more.
