Manual Upload of Keyset and Signature Files

GMS now enables you to manually upload signature files in instances when the Internet is not active on your system. This is useful for SonicWALL security appliances that do not have direct Internet connectivity such as those deployed in high-security environments. In these situations, GMS retrieves the new signatures and then uploads them to the SonicWALL security appliance.

To enable manual upload signature files, complete the following steps:

1	Navigate to the Console Panel.

2	Click on the Management menu.

3	Click on the GMS Settings option.

The GMS Settings dialog box displays.

 

4	Check Manage Signature Uploads. This indicates that the SonicWALL appliances managed by GMS cannot directly reach the Internet.

NOTE: Note that keyset files are uploaded at the time of registering a unit or when there is a change in the user license.

5	In the Policies tab, navigate to the System > Tools page to upload keyset and signature files.

6	Click Upload Signatures Now.
