This HA unit mirrors the primary TZ380's configuration and session state in real time, delivering automatic failover with the same 3.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 204.80 MB\/s VPN throughput, and 256 MB\/s IPS throughput across 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP expansion slots in a 1.81 lb Gen 8 desktop chassis running SonicOS 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HA unit synchronizes firewall policies, VPN tunnels, security service configurations, and active sessions with the primary TZ380, so a hardware failure triggers seamless failover without dropping connections or requiring manual intervention. The 5 Gigabit Ethernet support and SFP fiber connectivity match the primary unit's \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/networking\"\u003enetwork\u003c\/a\u003e interface capabilities, and the 13.77W power consumption keeps the standby appliance running at minimal operating cost.
