Selecting a Deployment Scenario
The deployment scenarios described in this section are based on actual customer deployments and are SonicWALL- recommended deployment best practices for SRA appliances .
A SonicWALL SRA appliance is commonly deployed in “one- arm” mode over the DMZ or Opt interface on an accompanying gateway appliance, such as a SonicWALL NSA E7500. This method of deployment offers additional layers of security control, plus the ability to use SonicWALL’s UTM services, including Gateway
The primary interface (X0) on the SonicWALL SRA connects to an available segment on the gateway device. The encrypted user session is passed through the gateway to the SonicWALL SRA appliance. The SonicWALL SRA appliance decrypts the session and determines the requested resource.
The session traffic then traverses the gateway appliance to reach the internal network resources. The gateway appliance applies security services, such as Intrusion Prevention, Gateway
