Registering SonicWALL Appliances

After successfully adding one or more Dell SonicWALL appliances to GMS, the next step is to register them. Registration is required for firmware upgrades, technical support, and more.

NOTE: Registering SonicWALL Aventail SMA appliances from GMS is not supported.

To register one or more SonicWALL appliances, follow these steps:

1	Select the global icon, a group, or a SonicWALL appliance.

2	Expand the Register/Upgrades tree and click Register SonicWALLs. The Register SonicWALLs page appears.

3

Click Register. The Modify Task Description and Schedule page displays. GMS creates a task for each SonicWALL appliance registration. The Modify Task Description and Schedule page allows you to customize the task description and set the task execution time. During the task execution, GMS registers each selected SonicWALL appliance using the information that you used to register with the SonicWALL registration site. After registration is complete, the task is removed from the Scheduled Tasks page and the status of the task execution is logged. To view these logs, click the Console tab. Then, expand the Log tree and click View Log.

4	If the appliance is already registered, the “Register SonicWALLs” page states This appliance is registered.
