Zero Touch V2

Zero Touch V2 (also known as Instant Connect) is a new microservices-based architecture to simplify on-boarding of firewalls and establish a reliable connectivity between NSM and firewall. With the new architecture, there is no change in the ports used for communication between NSM and firewall.

NSM has automated the process of acquiring and configuring your firewalls with the Zero Touch feature as well as providing the mechanism to manage your firewalls with “zero” touch when you are setting it up for management. The firewall need to be registered and enabled for zero touch in MySonicWall.

Firewall registration can be completed even before you receive the unit.

When you get the firewall, plugged it in for power and connected to the internet for this feature to operate. Beyond that, the firewall, NSM, and other entities within the network infrastructure function together to bring the unit under management.

For the Zero Touch feature to function correctly, you must have SonicOS 6.5.1.1-42n or later running on your firewall. New firewall shipments already have that version and Zero Touch enabled in the firmware
