The SonicWALL® PRO 1260 Secure Switch is a total security and switching platform, integrating a deep packet inspection firewall/VPN with a wire-speed, 24-port intelligent switch for rock-solid network security, flexibility and reliability. Designed for small network applications, the PRO 1260 features the unique SonicWALL® PortShield (PortShield) architecture which allows all 24 ports on the switch to be independently and easily configured into custom security zones (PortShield groups), each with its own "virtual firewall." The PRO 1260 can be configured either as an unmanaged switch under SonicOS Standard or as an intelligent managed LAN switching platform through the powerful SonicWALL PortShield architecture enabled in SonicOS Enhanced.

For businesses with basic network requirements, the PRO 1260 running SonicOS Standard integrates deep packet inspection capabilities with three independent security zones: WAN, Optional Port and 24-port LAN. The Optional Port can either be configured as a DMZ, providing the convenience of a scalable, all-in-one solution at a low total-cost-of-ownership.

The PRO 1260 running SonicOS Enhanced provides an additional range of features.
