Need advice.. SG3100 or SG5100

froussy

Good day,

I actually have 7x SG-2220 for all the store I manage and they are working fine.

I notice that the maximum throughput (from lan to wan, with nat) is about 400 mbits

Which model can support up to 1gbits ? The SG-3100 or the SG-5100 ?

Thanks

The SG-3100 can do at or close to Gigabit speeds in most situations I have seen. The SG-5100 will easily pass Gigabit.

If you need to run heavy packages etc or anything else that might use significant CPU and pass 1 Gbps at the same time I would go for the SG-5100.

I forgot to add, I will have 2 vlan on the wan and 2 on the lan side, using IGMP (for IPTV), and 9 ipsec tunnels...

so, SG-5100 ?

With 9 VPN tunnels then, yes, if you need to pass 1Gbps traffic with some reasonable percentage of it encrypted.

The SG-3100 is quite fast for IPSec because of it's crypto hardware but it won't pass the remaining traffic unencrypted to 1Gbps.
