Feature Support Information

The Feature Support List table shows key SonicOS/X 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/X 7 firmware.

For more information about supported features, go to the Technical Documentation Portal.

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

Per Microsoft, “Azure does not support any Layer-2 semantics.” Therefore, SonicOS/X Layer 2 functionality is disabled in NSv deployments. Consequently, NSv virtual machines do not support VLAN interfaces and DHCP Server functionality. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-faq and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2721672/microsoft-server-software-support-for-microsoft-azure-virtual-machines for more information.

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