Allowing a WAN to SMA Connection

Before continuing, you must add a new SMA custom zone. Refer to Adding a New SMA Custom Zone for more information.

To allow a WAN to SMA connection

1. Using SonicOS, click the Wizards icon in the top right corner of the gateway appliance management interface.

2. On the Configuration Guide page, select the Public Server Guide, and then click Next.

   

3. On the Public Server Guide, select these options:

   Service Type	Other
   Services	Create new group

4. In the Service Group dialog box, create a service group for HTTP and HTTPS:

   • Enter a Name for the service.
   • Select both HTTP and HTTPS and click the arrow button to move them to the right column.

   • Click Save.

     

5. On the Server Private Network Configuration page, enter the following server and SMA information, and then click Next:

   Server Name	Specify the name for the SMA appliance
   Server Private IP Address	SMA appliance X0 IP address
   Server Comment	Brief description of the server

6. On the Server Public Information page, accept the default IP address, or enter an IP address in your allowed public IP range. Click Next.

   The default IP address is the WAN IP address of your SonicWall security appliance. If you accept this default, all HTTP and HTTPS traffic to this IP address will be routed to your SMA appliance.

7. The Public Server Configuration Summary page displays all the configuration actions that are performed. Click Apply to create the configuration and allow access from the WAN to the SMA on the DMZ.
