CDP Appliance Tools for Synchronization

The General > Tools section provides the following options to synchronize both the static and dynamic information:

•	Synchronize Now

•	Synchronizing with mySonicWALL.com

Synchronize Now

If a change is made to a SonicWALL appliance through any means other than through SonicWALL GMS, GMS is notified of the change through the syslog data stream. After the syslog notification is received, SonicWALL GMS schedules a task to synchronize its database with the local change. Auto-synchronization automatically occurs whenever SonicWALL GMS receives a local change notification status syslog message from a SonicWALL appliance.

You can also force synchronization at any time for a SonicWALL appliance or a group of SonicWALL appliances.

To synchronize the appliance, complete the following tasks:

1	Select the appliance(s) you wish to synchronize.

2	In the General > Tools screen, click Synchronize Now.

3	A confirmation pop-up displays. Click OK.

 

4	Use the scheduler to update immediately, or select a date in the future.

5	Click Accept when you are finished.

It might take several seconds for the SonicWALL appliance to synchronize with mySonicWALL.com.
