SonicWALL 3 manual SonicWALL Management Interface

CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Note: Registration Admission Status (RAS) and Internet Locator Service (ILS) LDAP for H.323 is not supported on SonicOS Standard 3.0. For H.323 RAS and ILS LDAP support on the SonicWALL TZ 170 Series, upgrade your firmware to SonicOS Enhanced 3.0 (or greater). For H.323 RAS and ILS LDAP support on the SonicWALL PRO 2040 or SonicWALL PRO 3060, upgrade your firmware to SonicOS Enhanced 2.5 (or greater).

•Dynamic DNS - Enables the SonicWALL security device to dynamically register its WAN IP address with a Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) service provider.

•Lightweight Hotspot Messaging - Provides Hotspot users authentication between a SonicWALL wireless access device (such as a SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless, or a SonicPoint with a Son- icWALL PRO series governing gateway appliance) and an Authentication Back-End (ABE) for par- ametrically bound network access.

•Wireless Radio Operating Schedule - Provides the ability to create a schedule to control the operation of the wireless radio for SonicWALL wireless access devices (such as the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless or SonicPoint).

•WiFiSec Exception List - Provides wireless users the flexibility to bypass WiFiSec enforcement. The WiFiSec Exception List enables you to allow NT Domain logons to occur prior to Global VPN Client (GVC) tunnel establishment.

•Real-time Monitoring - Includes the following monitoring tools:

ŠCPU Monitor allows you to generate CPU utilization reports in a customizable histogram format.

ŠProcess Monitor allows you to generate reports on current running processes.

ŠActive Connections Monitor allows you to generate reports on current active network connections.

•DHCP Server Enhancements - Includes expanded hash tables for resource management, accel- erated duplicate-address detection, and improved Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server internal-database maintenance management.

•Expanded Logging - Includes additional logging capabilities to provide expanded flexibility. You can export the log into plain text or CSV values. Logging categories are dramatically expanded, the logs conform to Syslog severity levels so you can set the SonicWALL security appliance to only log alerts and messages of specified levels. And you can independently specify which categories are logged to the internal log. When directing logs to external Syslog servers, you can rate-limit the messages based on events-per-second or maximum bytes-per-second, so that external Syslog servers do not become overwhelmed.

•Static ARP Support - Enables you to create static Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries, create MAC address to IP address bindings, and to publish static ARP entries for use in a second- ary network subnet.

•Virtual Adapter Static IP Support - Provides support for static IP addressing of Global VPN Client (GVC) virtual adapters.
