No spinning bearing, no dust-clogged heatsink stack, nothing to service in a wiring closet that nobody visits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix ports is not decoration. It is the difference between a router with a LAN and a segmented network with a WAN, a DMZ, a management plane, a guest segment, a camera VLAN and a spare link that can be re-tasked without adding a switch. Each port runs on its own I211-AT controller, so ports do not contend for a single PHY, and AES-NI support in the platform keeps VPN throughput from collapsing under encryption load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvisioning is deliberately unopinionated. One DDR4 SO-DIMM slot accepts up to 16GB at 2133MHz, storage runs on mSATA, and the appliance will boot pfSense, OPNsense, Sophos, Untangle, CentOS, Windows or a plain Linux distribution. The 12-month warranty and the VESA bracket in the box tell you what kind of product this is meant to be: infrastructure, installed once and left running around the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSilence, in networking hardware, is a reliability feature.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin:22px 0;border:0;border-top:1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppliance Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ Six independent Intel I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet controllers on the rear panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ Fanless passive cooling in aluminium alloy, zero moving parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ Intel Celeron 3855U (1.6GHz) or 3965U (2.2GHz) dual-core with AES-NI support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ One DDR4 SO-DIMM slot, up to 16GB at 2133MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ mSATA storage, replaceable without opening a full case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ Boots pfSense, OPNsense, Sophos, Untangle, CentOS, Windows or Linux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:6px 0;\"\u003e✦ VESA bracket, power adapter and cord included, 12-month warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Datasheet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intel Celeron 3855U (1.6GHz) \/ 3965U (2.2GHz), dual core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLAN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x Intel I211-AT Gigabit controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMemory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x DDR4 SO-DIMM, up to 16GB, 2133MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e mSATA SSD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fanless passive design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium alloy, 187 x 111 x 50mm, 1.0kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEncryption acceleration:\u003c\/strong\u003e AES-NI supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e pfSense, OPNsense, Sophos, Untangle, CentOS, Windows, Linux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional wireless:\u003c\/strong\u003e 802.11bgn (Atheros chipset)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:10px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #ececec;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacking list:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mini PC, power adapter, power cord, VESA bracket; 12-month warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\" style=\"margin-top:26px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Deployments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall offices put it at the edge as a pfSense box with a dedicated guest segment. Factories use the six ports to keep machine networks away from office traffic without buying a managed switch. Branch sites deploy it as a site-to-site VPN endpoint that draws a few watts and never spins up a fan. Integrators keep one on the shelf as a drop-in replacement for consumer routers that cannot be segmented, and because it is x86 rather than a sealed vendor appliance, the software stays under the operator's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOperational Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many devices can six Gigabit ports realistically serve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePort count is not the constraint, throughput is.

With pfSense, OPNsense or a Linux bridge configuration you can carry multiple tagged VLANs across any of the six interfaces, and because every port has its own controller, trunking one does not starve another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How much memory does an appliance of this class need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor stateful firewalling and basic VPN tunnels, 4GB is workable and 8GB leaves comfortable headroom for logging, IDS packages and larger rule sets.
