Scenario C: L2 Bridge Mode
For network installations where the Dell SonicWALL
SuperMassive 9600 is running in tandem with an existing
network gateway.
In this scenario, the original gateway is maintained. The Dell
SonicWALL SuperMassive 9600 is integrated seamlessly into
the existing network, providing the benefits of deep packet
inspection and comprehensive security services on all network
traffic.
L2 Bridge Mode employs a secure learning bridge architecture,
enabling it to pass and inspect traffic types that cannot be
handled by many other methods of transparent security

Ethernet network to provide in-line deep-packet inspection for
TCP and UDP traffic.
