SonicWALL E6500 manual Enabling Security Services in SonicOS, Applying Security Services to Zones

Enabling Security Services in SonicOS

You must enable each security service individually in the SonicOS user interface. See the following procedures to enable and configure the following three basic security services:

Gateway Anti-Virus

Intrusion Prevention

Anti-Spyware

For more information on configuring your security services, refer to the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.

Applying Security Services to Zones

A network zone is a logical group of one or more interfaces to which you can apply security rules to regulate traffic passing from one zone to another zone.

Security services such as Gateway Anti-Virus are automatically applied to the LAN and WAN network zones when you activate the license and enable the service. To protect other zones such as the DMZ or Wireless LAN (WLAN), you must apply the security services to the network zones. For example, you can configure SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service for incoming and outgoing traffic on the WLAN zone to add more security for internal network traffic.

To apply services to network zones:

1.Navigate to the Network > Zones page.

2.In the Zone Settings table, click the Configure icon for the zone where you want to apply security services.

3.In the Edit Zone dialog box on the General tab, select the checkboxes for the security services to enable on this zone.

4.On the Edit Zone page, select the checkboxes for the security services that you want to enable.

5.Click OK.

6.To enable security services on other zones, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each zone.
