1.8.2 Maximizing Throughput

A ZyWALL USG with dual internal buses (see Table 1 on page 5) for Gigabit interfaces has one

internal bus for ports P1-P7 and another for port P8. To maximize the ZyWALL’s throughput, use

P8 for your connection with the most traffic.

Some ZyWALLs (see Table 1 on page 5) let you add an optional Security Extension Module (SEM) to

enhance the VPN or VPN and Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities.

• The VPN module (SEM-VPN) increases the maximum VPN throughput from 100 Mbps to 500

Mbps, the maximum number of IPSec VPN tunnels from 1,000 to 2,000 and the maximum

number of SSL VPN users from 250 (with a license) to 750 (with a license).

• The SEM-DUAL module provides the VPN performance enhancements and increases the

maximum anti-virus and IDP traffic throughput from 100 Mbps to 400 Mbps.
