SonicOS/X Guides (Wizards)

SonicOS/X provides easy-to-use configuration guides (wizards) to assist you with initial configuration of server access, VPN policies, wireless network and security settings, and Software-Defined WAN network settings.

Each wizard displays a sequence of screens in which you select or enter the necessary settings. To continue to the next screen, click Next. To go back and make a change, click Previous. To exit the wizard, click the X.

The Summary page displays all the objects, NAT policies, access rules, security settings, or other settings that will be created. To proceed, click Apply.

The following configuration guides are available:

• Public Server Guide

  The Public Server Guide lets you quickly configure the firewall to provide public access to an internal server.

  

  You can select any of the following server types:

  • Web Server
  • FTP Server
  • Mail Server
  • Terminal Services Server

  • Other

    If you select Other, you can select from a long list of service types or select Create new Service.

  The wizard provides the well-known port(s) for known services and asks for other options required for configuration of the server. If necessary, SonicOS/X creates objects, such as a network object bound to the WAN zone for the non-default IP address of a public server.

• VPN Guide

  The VPN Guide lets you quickly create a new Site-to-Site VPN policy to another SonicWall device or configure a WAN GroupVPN policy to accept incoming VPN connections from SonicWall Global VPN Client.

  

  The Site-to Site wizard provides sequential screens in which you input preshared key information, the IP address of the remote peer, local and destination network objects, and security settings for IKE Phase 1 and IPSec Phase 2.

  The WAN GroupVPN wizard provides sequential screens in which you input preshared key information, the encryption and authentication security settings, user authentication, and optionally enable the virtual adapter for obtaining DHCP addresses in the X0 range.

• Wireless Guide

  The Wireless Guide lets you quickly configure the network settings and security features of the WLAN Radio Interface.

  

  For regulatory compliance, the Wireless Guide first asks you to select the country where the wireless TZ is being deployed. Then the wizard provides sequential screens in which you input the Wireless LAN network settings, WLAN radio settings, WLAN virtual access point settings, and WLAN security settings.

• SDWAN Guide

  The SDWAN Guide lets you quickly configure a software-defined WAN.

  

  The SDWAN Guide provides a sequence of screens in which you input the service or application, SLA criteria for latency, jitter, and packet loss, path selection using WAN or route based VPN tunnels, and health check probes.
