Feature Support Information

The AWS VPC does not support Layer 2 functionality. Therefore, the NSv interface to VPCs is restricted to the layer 3 network level and higher.

The Feature Support List table shows key SonicOS features and whether or not they are supported or unsupported in deployments of the NSv. The SonicWall NSv has nearly all the features and functionality of a SonicWall NSa hardware virtual machine running SonicOS 7 firmware.

For more information about supported features, refer to the SonicOS 7 NSv administration guide. This and other documents for the SonicWall NSv are available by selecting NSv as the Product at: https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation.

The Feature Support List of NSv table shows the key SonicOS 7 features.
