Left Pane Overview
The left pane of the SonicWALL
GMS management interface
provides a tree control that
displays the current view and a
list of managed appliances within
the current tab. The left pane is
only displayed for the three
appliance tabs: Firewalls,
SSL-VPNs and CDPs. The
current category and view are indicated by a blue highlighting.
The left pane tree control provides the ability to switch between
views and displays the current state of each appliance under
management. A single box in the tree control indicates a node
at appliance or unit level. Two boxes in the tree control indicates
a node at a group level. A global node at the top of the tree
control is indicated by a three-box icon. The color of these icons
provides useful status information. For detailed information
about appliance states, refer to Description of Managed
Appliance States - page4 6.
Note: If there is only one appliance visible in the Left Pane,
then the Left Pane will automatically collapse to present
a larger screen for the rest of the management
interface.
Center Pane Overview
The center pane displays for the three
appliance tabs: Firewalls, SSL-VPNs
and CDPs. A navigational tree control that
provides access to the configuration
options available based on navigational
tab and left pane selections. At the top of
the Center pane there are two sub-tabs,
Policies and Reports. The Policies sub-
tab provides policy configuration options
for managed appliances. The Reports
sub-tab provides reporting on the global,
group, or appliance level, and is only
available for Firewalls and SSL-VPNs.
The current selection in the center pane is
indicated by the highlighted item. For
example, the figure to the left displays the
current selection Log > Log Settings.
The center pane options change based
on the navigational tab and left pane
selections, and selections in the center pane modify the display
in the right pane. For example, the figure in the next section
illustrates the contents of the right pane when the global view is
selected in the left pane and System > Status is selected on
the Policies tab in the center pane.
