Registering the NSv Virtual Machine with SonicOS

After you have installed and configured the network settings for your NSv Series virtual machine, you can log into SonicOS management and register it in your MySonicWall account. Registration of your SonicWall NSv Series virtual machine follows the same process as for SonicWall hardware-based appliances.

System functionality is extremely limited when registration is not complete. See Using System Diagnostics for more information.

To register your NSv virtual machine

1. Point your browser to your NSv Series WAN or LAN IP address and log in as the administrator with default credentials.

   Ensure to use the new password if you have updated the default password.

2. Go to Dashboard | System > Summary and click Register Device.

   

3. At this point you can log into MySonicWall and name the NSv installation while providing the Firewall Serial Number and authorization code (Auth Code), and select a Policy Mode Switching option (Classic or Policy). Click Register to complete the registration.

   

   If you are unable to reach MySonicWall, use the Keyset, Serial Number, Auth Code, and Registration Code provided by your SonicWall representative in the Settings tab.

   

   Click Apply to complete the registration.

4. Log in to SonicOS and check that the licensing is enabled.
