PortShield functionality and X-Series switches
PortShield architecture allows configuration of firewall ports into separate security zones, thereby allowing
protection of a deep-packet inspection firewall for traffic between devices across zones. For more information
about PortShield functionality and how to manage PortShield Groups with X-Series switches, see the
Administration
Guide.
The Dell TZ-X-Series solution allows support for portshielding interfaces on the extended switch to firewall
interfaces. X-Series switches are L2 switches, and by default, all ports on the extended switch are configured as
access ports part of the default VLAN 1. When ports of the extended switch are portshielded to firewall
interfaces, the ports are reconfigured as access ports part of the VLAN corresponding to the PortShield VLAN,
also known as the IDV VLAN of the PortShield host interface.
PoE/PoE+ and SFP/SFP+ support
TZ series appliances do not support PoE/PoE+, but this functionality can be added with certain X-Series
switches, as shown in
Table
appliances, especially for new SonicPoints supporting 802.11ac (802.11ac supports up to 30W maximum power;
802.11a/b/g/h supports up to 15.4 W maximum power).
Some X-Series switches also support SFP/SFP+, as shown in
Table 2. X-Series switch PoE/PoE+ and SFP/SFP+ support
This X-Series switch Supports
X1008
X1008P
X1018
X1018P
X1026
X1026P
X1052
X1052P
X4012
IMPORTANT:
A SonicPoint AC without an external power source must be portshielded through ports 1
through 12 on an X1026P or X1052P X-Series switch.
Any non-SonicPoint AC model without an external power source can be portshielded through ports 1
through 8 (X1008P), 1 through 16 (X1018P), or 1 through 24 (X1026P and X1052P).
Any SonicPoint with an external power source (AC power supply or power adapter) can be portshielded to
any Ethernet port.
Configuration of the PoE/PoE+ ports on the X-Series switch is managed from the UI of the X-Series switch and
not the Network > Portshield Groups page on the TZ series appliance.
