Netgate 4200

The Netgate® 4100 with pfSense® Plus software is one of the most versatile security gateways in its class. It combines the power of a dual-core Intel® Atom® C3338R core CPU with integrated QuickAssist & AES-NI and 4 GB of memory for a fast user experience, and delivers flexible WAN/LAN routing via 8.15 Gbps L3 over six independent - (2) 1 GbE and (4) 2.5 GbE - ports.

The Netgate 4100 is ideal for pro-home, small/medium business or edge deployments that require flexible port configurations to support 1 to 2.5 Gbps WAN capabilities via (2) RJ45 copper/SFP fiber combo WAN ports and (4) 2.5 Gbps discrete, unswitched RJ-45 Ethernet LAN ports - all in a quiet desktop form factor.

Firewall(10k ACLs)

• IPERF3 traffic: 4.09 Gbps
• IMIX traffic: 1.40 Gbps

IPsec VPN(AES-GCM-128 w/QAT)

• IPERF3 traffic: 960 Mbps
• IMIX traffic: 312 Mbps

Netgate 4100 performance tests performed with pfSense Plus software version 22.01

CPU: Intel® Atom® C3338R with QAT, 2-core @ 1.8 GHz. 8.15 Gbps routing for common iPerf3 traffic and over 4.09 Gbps firewall throughput.

Network ports: 6 independent 1G and 2.5G Flexible WAN/LAN configurations. Use a combination of 6 ports for maximum flexibility - with 1 and 2.5 Gbps WAN capabilities via RJ45 and SFP ports, and 4 discrete 2.5 Gbps non-switched LAN ports

Memory: 16 GB eMMC (or optional 128 GB NVMe M.2 SSD with Netgate 4100 Max)

Memory: 4 GB DDR4 RAM, DDR4 memory enables more stable, higher transfer rates for memory-intensive applications (e.g. IDS/IPS).

Cooling: The passive cooling system and low power consumption of the Netgate 4100 ensure efficient thermal management and quiet operation, as expected from smaller devices despite significantly higher performance.

pfSense Plus software delivers the performance, flexibility, reliability and business security expected from leading secure network applications:

• Up to 10 Gbit/s performance
• Flexible options for third-party applications
• Traditional management mechanisms
• Proven reliability
• Comprehensive support for securing business

At a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives, pfSense Plus software is the perfect answer. Popular use cases for pfSense Plus include load balancing, traffic shaping, captive portal, UTM device, DNS/DHCP server, IDS/IPS, transparency caching proxy, web content filtering, failover WAN and more.
