Configuring Cloud Secure Edge

This section explains how to configure Cloud Secure Edge in the SonicWall firewall.

Prerequisite

• Register your SonicWall firewall in the same tenant where you started the trial or have the CSE license within your MySonicWall account. Refer to the KB article How can I register a firewall in my MySonicWall account for more information.
• An active Cloud Secure Edge registered in the same tenant.

To configure the CSE on the firewall

1. Sign in to your SonicWall firewall and navigate to Device > Settings > Firmware and Settings.
2. Click the Create Backup to create a backup and click the Export Configuration to export the configuration file backup.

3. Upgrade your SonicWall firewall to the latest firmware version. To get more information on upgrading SonicOS firmware, refer to the SonicOS 7.1 Upgrade guides.

   Cloud Secure Edge is supported from the SonicOS 7.1.2 firmware version onwards.

   Once the SonicWall firewall is updated to version 7.1.2, a new feature, Cloud Secure Edge appears under the path: Network > Cloud Secure Edge.

4. Navigate to Network > Cloud Secure Edge > Access Settings and enable the option Enable Cloud Secure Edge Connectivity.

   • The Connector status tooltip provides more details when hovered over.
