The most powerful Anybus Defender in a DC-powered rackmount form factor. The Defender 8029 DC with PRO/FW license delivers the complete security stack across 11 physical network segments — identical to the AC variant but powered by 24V DC for industrial environments where AC power is unavailable or where DC power is preferred for UPS integration and redundancy.
9x Gigabit LAN Ethernet ports plus 2x SFP for fiber optic or additional RJ45 connectivity, with VLAN support for virtually unlimited logical segmentation. Full PRO/FW capabilities: Deep Packet Inspection on Ethernet/IP CIP and Modbus with auto-learn, virtual patching via Snort and Suricata IPS, advanced VPN (WireGuard, OpenSSL, IPsec), RADIUS/LDAP/AD authentication, DHCP server, policy scheduling, captive portal, advanced routing (RIP, BGP), load balancing with multi-WAN, traffic shaping and high availability redundancy.
Purpose-built for industrial control rooms, substations and critical infrastructure sites with DC power distribution. Configuration via web GUI, RESTful API and CLI. Optional central management via the Anybus Cybersecurity Console.
