Where Do I Find Information About SonicOS?

SonicOS administration guides are available for each main menu in the left navigation pane of the SonicOS web management interfaces. Within each guide, you will find topics covering each page in that menu group, with procedures and detailed information. Some guides are specific to SonicWall firewalls configured for either Classic or Policy Mode.

SonicOS administration guides are published on the SonicWall Technical Documentation portal at:

https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation/?language=English&category=Firewalls.

On the left side of the page, you can select SonicOS, SonicOS, or the firewall series of your choice: TZ, NSa, NSv or NSsp. Scrolling down on the left, you can select the type of document and then the firmware version, followed by the virtual platform, date range, and language.

For example, the SonicOS 7.0 Tools & Monitors Administration Guide covers the following main topics:

• Using Packet Monitor
• Viewing Connections

• Monitoring Core 0 Processes

• Using Packet Replay

For a mapping of SonicOS 7.0 web management interface sections to the SonicOS 7.0 administration guides, refer to SonicOS Web Interface to Administration Guide Reference.
