SonicWall firewalls at remote and branch office locations. The process requires STEP 2 CONNECT THE FIREWALL minimal user intervention and is fully Connects the firewall to the network using the ethernet cable that came automated to operationalize firewalls at with the unit. scale in four easy deployment steps. This significantly reduces the time, cost and STEP 3 POWER UP THE FIREWALL complexity associated with installation Power up the firewall after connecting the power cable and plugging and configuration, while security and it into a standard wall outlet. Units are automatically assigned a WAN connectivity occur instantly and IP using DHCP server. Once connectivity is established, the unit automatically. is automatically discovered, authenticated, and added to Capture Security Center with all licensed and configurations synchronized with MySonicWall and License Manager. STEP 4 MANAGE THE FIREWALL The unit is now operational and managed via the Capture Security Center cloud-based central management console such as firmware upgrades, security patching, and group level configuration changes. Zero-Touch Deployment: Operationalize firewall in four easy steps 3 Reporting readiness, and even post-mortem Intuitive graphical reports simplify analysis. Every report is designed, with managed appliance monitoring. GMS offers over 140 pre-defined reports the collective input from many years of Administrators can easily identify traffic as well as the flexibility to create custom SonicWall customer and partner anomalies based on usage data for a reports using any combination of auditable collaborations.
