Enabling Reporting and Synchronization with Managed Units

By default, GMS Reporting is enabled.

To enable or disable GMS Reporting, complete the following steps:

1	Click the Console tab.

2	Expand the Management tree and click Settings. The Settings page displays.

3	To enable GMS Reporting, select Enable Reporting. To disable it, deselect Enable Reporting (default: Enabled).

4	To configure Dell SonicWALL GMS to automatically synchronize with the local changes made to the SonicWALL appliances, select Enable Auto Synchronization.

5	For SonicWALL appliances that do not have direct access to the Internet, you can instruct GMS to download updates to security service signatures. To do so, click Manage Signature Uploads, then select on of the following radio buttons:

•	Manually upload latest signatures to firewalls

•	Automatically upload latest signatures to firewalls

•	(optional) Upload latest signatures on subscription status change. This option is available when Manage Signature Uploads is enabled.

NOTE: When updated signatures have been downloaded to the GMS, you must then manually upload them to the SonicWALL appliances. This action is completed on the Policies > System > Tools page. When there are new signatures to be uploaded, the Upload Signatures Now appears on the Tools page. Click this button to manually upload the signatures.

6	To create an addUnit.xml file to track all units under management, click Create Add Unit XML File.

7	When finished in the Settings page, click Update. To clear the screen settings and start over, click Reset.
