You can configure the SonicWALL SuperMassive to be managed by SonicWALL Global Management System (SonicWALL GMS). To configure the SonicWALL SuperMassive for GMS management:
Step 1 Select the Enable Management using GMS checkbox, then click Configure. The Configure GMS Settings window is displayed.
Step 2 Enter the host name or IP address of the GMS Console in the GMS Host Name or IP Address field.
Step 3 Enter the port in the GMS Syslog Server Port field. The default value is 514.
Step 4 Select Send Heartbeat Status Messages Only to send only heartbeat status instead of log messages.
Step 5 Select GMS behind NAT Device if the GMS Console is placed behind a device using NAT on the network. Type the IP address of the NAT device in the NAT Device IP Address field.
Step 6 Select one of the following GMS modes from the Management Mode menu.
• IPSEC Management Tunnel - Selecting this option allows the SonicWALL SuperMassive to be managed over an IPsec VPN tunnel to the GMS management console. The default IPsec VPN settings are displayed. Select GMS behind NAT Device if applicable to the GMS installation, and enter the IP address in the NAT Device IP Address field. The default VPN policy settings are displayed at the bottom of the Configure GMS Settings window.Existing Tunnel - If this option is selected, the GMS server and the SonicWALL SuperMassive already have an existing VPN tunnel over the connection. Enter the GMS host name or IP address in the GMS Host Name or IP Address field. Enter the port number in the Syslog Server Port field.HTTPS - If this option is selected, HTTPS management is allowed from two IP addresses: the GMS Primary Agent and the Standby Agent IP address. The SonicWALL SuperMassive also sends encrypted syslog packets and SNMP traps using 3DES and the SonicWALL SuperMassive administrator’s password.
• Send Syslog Messages to a Distributed GMS Reporting Server - Sends regular heartbeat messages to both the GMS Primary and Standby Agent IP address. The regular heartbeat messages are sent to the specified GMS reporting server and the reporting server port.
• GMS Reporting Server IP Address - Enter the IP address of the GMS Reporting Server, if the server is separate from the GMS management server.
• GMS Reporting Server Port - Enter the port for the GMS Reporting Server. The default value is 514.
Step 7 Click OK.
The Download URL section provides a field for specifying the URL address of a site for downloading SonicPoint images.
• Manually specify SonicPoint-N image URL - If your SonicWALL appliance has Internet connectivity, it will automatically download the correct version of the SonicPoint image from the SonicWALL server when you connect a SonicPoint device. If your SonicWALL appliance does not have Internet access, or has access only through a proxy server, you must manually specify a URL for the SonicPoint firmware. You do not need to include the http:// prefix, but you do need to include the filename at the end of the URL. The filename should have a .bin extension. Here are examples using an IP address and a domain name:
192.168.168.10/imagepath/sonicpoint.bin
software.sonicwall.com/applications/sonicpoint/sonicpoint.bin
Caution It is imperative that you download the corresponding SonicPoint image for the SonicOS firmware version that is running on your SonicWALL. The mysonicwall.com Web site provides information about the corresponding versions. When upgrading your SonicOS firmware, be sure to upgrade to the correct SonicPoint image.
If your firmware contains other languages besides English, they can be selected in the Language Selection pull-down menu.
Note Changing the language of the SonicOS UI requires that the SonicWALL SuperMassive be rebooted.
