Configuring a Stateful HA Pair | 36

Initial High Availability Setup

Configuring High Availability

Before you begin the configuration of HA on the primary Dell SonicWALL appliance, perform the following setup:
• On the bottom panel of the secondary Dell SonicWALL appliance, locate the serial number and write the number down. You need to enter this number in the High Availability > Settings page.
• Verify that the primary appliance and secondary appliance appliances are registered, running the same SonicOS versions.
• Make sure the primary and secondary appliances’ LAN, WAN and other interfaces are properly configured for failover.
• Connect the HA ports on the primary and secondary appliances with a CAT6-rated crossover cable (red crossover cable). The primary and secondary appliances must have a dedicated connection using the HA interface. Dell SonicWALL recommends cross-connecting the two together using a CAT 6 crossover Ethernet cable, but a connection using a dedicated 100Mbps hub/switch is also valid.
• Power up the primary appliance, and then power up the secondary appliance.
• Do not make any configuration changes to the primary’s HA interface; the High Availability configuration in an upcoming step takes care of this issue. When done, disconnect the workstation.
The first task in setting up HA after initial setup is configuring the High Availability > Settings page on the primary Dell SonicWALL appliance. Once you configure HA on the primary appliance, it communicates the settings to the secondary appliance.
To configure HA on the primary SonicWALL, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to the High Availability > Settings page.
2. Select the Enable High Availability checkbox.
3. Under SonicWALL Address Settings, type in the serial number for the secondary SonicWALL appliance.
You can find the serial number on the bottom of the Dell SonicWALL appliance, or in the System > Status screen of the secondary unit. The serial number for the primary Dell SonicWALL appliance is automatically populated.
4. Click Apply to retain these settings.
37 | Configuring a Stateful HA Pair

Configuring Advanced HA Settings

1. Navigate to the High Availability > Advanced page.
2. To configure Stateful HA, select Enable Stateful Synchronization. A dialog box is displayed with recommended settings for the Heartbeat Interval and Probe Interval fields. The settings it shows are minimum recommended values. Lower values may cause unnecessary failovers, especially when the appliance is under a heavy load. You can use higher values if your SonicWALL handles a lot of network traffic. Click OK.
3. To cause the HA pair to change back to the original primary unit when it becomes available after a failover, select the Enable Preempt Mode checkbox.
4. To backup the firmware and settings when you upgrade the firmware version, select Generate/Overwrite Backup Firmware and Settings When Upgrading Firmware.
5. Select the Enable Virtual MAC checkbox. Virtual MAC allows the primary and secondary appliances to share a single MAC address. This greatly simplifies the process of updating network ARP tables and caches when a failover occurs. Only the WAN switch that the two appliances are connected to needs to be notified. All outside devices will continue to route to the single shared MAC address.
6. Optionally adjust the Heartbeat Interval to control how often the two units communicate. This timer is the length of time between status checks. By default this timer is set to 5000 milliseconds, the minimum recommended value is 1000 milliseconds. Using a longer interval will result in the appliance taking more time to detect when/if failures have occurred. Less than this may cause unnecessary failovers, especially when the appliance is under a heavy load.
7. Set the Probe Interval for the interval in seconds between communication with upstream or downstream systems. This timer controls the path monitoring speed. Path monitoring sends pings to specified IP addresses to monitor that the network critical path is still reachable. The default is 20 seconds, and the allowed range is from 5 to 255 seconds. It is recommended that you set the interval for at least 5 seconds. You can set the Probe IP Address(es) on the High Availability > Monitoring screen.
8. In the Probe Count text-field, enter the desired number of consecutive probes before the appliance considers the network critical path to be reachable or broken. The minimum and default is 3 probes, and the maximum is 10.
9. Typically, Dell SonicWALL recommends leaving the
Failover Trigger Level (missed heart beats), Election Delay Time (seconds), and Dynamic Route Hold-Down Time fields to their default settings. These fields can be
tuned later as necessary for your specific network environment.
•The Failover Trigger Level (missed heart beats) timer
is the number of heartbeats the appliance will miss before failing over. By default, this time is set to 5 missed heart beats.This timer is linked to the Heartbeat Interval timer – for example, if you set the Heartbeat Interval to 10 seconds, and the Failover Trigger Level timer to 5, it will be 50 seconds before the appliance fails over.
Configuring a Stateful HA Pair | 38
•The Election Delay Time can be used to specify an amount of time the appliance will wait to consider an interface up and stable before one of them takes the primary role. This is useful when dealing with switch ports that have a spanning-tree delay set
•The Dynamic Route Hold-Down Time setting is used when a failover occurs on a HA pair that is using either RIP or OSPF dynamic routing. When a failover occurs, Dynamic Route Hold-Down Time is the number of seconds the newly-active appliance keeps the dynamic routes it had previously learned in its route table. During this time, the newly-active appliance relearns the dynamic routes in the network. When the Dynamic Route Hold-Down Time duration expires, it deletes the old routes and implements the new routes it has learned from RIP or OSPF. The default value is 45 seconds. In large or complex networks, a larger value may improve network stability during a failover.
10. Click the Include Certificates/Keys checkbox to have the appliances synchronize all certificates and keys.
11. Click Synchronize Settings to synchronize the settings between the primary and secondary appliances.
12. Click Synchronize Firmware if you previously uploaded new firmware to your Primary unit while the Secondary unit was offline, and it is now online and ready to upgrade to the new firmware. Synchronize Firmware is typically used after taking your Secondary appliance offline while you test a new firmware version on the Primary unit before upgrading both units to it.
13. Click Accept to retain the settings on this screen.

Configuring HA Monitoring Settings

After configuring the HA settings, you need to configure the Monitoring settings for the LAN or WAN.This includes configuring unique IP addresses for each appliance in the Stateful HA pair. You will need to log into the appliances using these IP addresses in order to complete the registration process from within SonicOS, which will allow license sharing and synchronization.
Navigate to the High Availability > Monitoring page to configure the Monitoring settings.
1. Click the Configure icon of the Interface for which you want to edit settings. The Edit HA Monitoring dialog box displays.
2. In the Primary IP Address field, enter the unique LAN or WAN management IP address of the Primary appliance.
39 | Configuring a Stateful HA Pair
3. In the Secondary IP Address field, enter the unique LAN or WAN management IP address of the Secondary appliance.
4. Select the Allow Management on Primary/Secondary IP Address checkbox.
5. Optionally Enable Physical / Link Monitoring by selecting the checkbox.
6. Optionally enable Logical / Probe IP Address by selecting the checkbox and providing the IP Address of the target host.
7. Click OK.
You can repeat these steps to configure Monitoring on other interfaces. For more information regarding the optional settings, see the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.

Synchronizing Settings

Once you have configured the HA setting on the primary Dell SonicWALL appliance, click the Synchronize Settings button. You should see a HA Peer Firewall has been updated message at the bottom of the management interface page. Also note that the management interface displays Logged Into: Primary SonicWALL Status: Active in the upper-right-hand corner.
By default, the Include Certificate/Keys setting is enabled. This specifies that Certificates, CRLs and associated settings (such as CRL auto-import URLs and OCSP settings) are synchronized between the primary and secondary units. When
Local Certificates are copied to the secondary unit, the associated Private Keys are also copied. Because the connection between the primary and secondary units is typically protected, this is generally not a security concern.
Note: A compromise between the convenience of
synchronizing Certificates and the added security of not synchronizing Certificates is to temporarily enable the Include Certificate/Keys setting and manually synchronize the settings, and then disable Include Certificate/Keys.
To verify that primary and secondary Dell SonicWALL appliances are functioning correctly, wait a few minutes, then power off the primary device. The secondary appliance should quickly take over.
From your management workstation, test connectivity through the secondary appliance by accessing a site on the public Internet – note that the secondary appliance, when active, assumes the complete identity of the primary appliance, including its IP addresses and Ethernet MAC addresses.
Log into the secondary appliance’s unique LAN IP address. The management interface should now display Logged Into: Backup SonicWALL Status: Active in the upper-right-hand corner.
Configuring a Stateful HA Pair | 40
Now, power the primary appliance back on, wait a few minutes, then log back into the management interface. If stateful synchronization is enabled (automatically disabling preempt mode), the management GUI should still display Logged Into: Backup SonicWALL Status: Active in the upper-right-hand corner.
If you are using the Monitor Interfaces feature, experiment with disconnecting each monitored link to ensure correct configuration.

HA License Configuration Overview

You can configure HA license synchronization by associating two Dell SonicWALL appliances as HA primary and HF secondary on MySonicWALL. Note that the secondary appliance of your HA pair is referred to as the HF Secondary unit on MySonicWALL.
You must purchase a single set of security services licenses for the HA primary appliance. To use Stateful HA, you must first activate the Stateful High Availability Upgrade license for the primary unit in SonicOS. This is automatic if your appliance is connected to the Internet. See Registering and Licensing Your
Appliance on MySonicWALL, on page 20.
41 | Configuring a Stateful HA Pair
License synchronization is used during HA so that the secondary appliance can maintain the same level of network protection provided before the failover. To enable HA, you can use the SonicOS UI to configure your two appliances as a HA pair in Active/Idle mode.
MySonicWALL provides several methods of associating the two appliances. You can start by registering a new appliance, and then choosing an already-registered unit to associate it with. You can associate two units that are both already registered. Or, you can select a registered unit and then add a new appliance with which to associate it.
Note: After registering new Dell SonicWALL appliances on
MySonicWALL, you must also register each appliance from the SonicOS management interface by logging into the unique IP address assigned on the High Availability > Monitoring page and then clicking the registration link on the System > Status page. This allows each unit to synchronize with the license server and share licenses with the associated appliance.

Associating Pre-Registered Appliances

To associate two already-registered Dell SonicWALL appliances so that they can use HA license synchronization, perform the following steps:
1. Login to MySonicWALL.
2. In the left navigation bar, click My Products.
3. On the My Products page, under Registered Products, scroll down to find the appliance that you want to use as the parent, or primary, unit. Click the product name or serial number.
4. On the Service Management - Associated Products page, scroll down to the Associated Products section.
5. Under Associated Products, click HF Secondary.
6. On the My Product - Associated Products page, in the text boxes under Associate New Products, type the serial number and the friendly name of the appliance that you want to associate as the child/secondary/secondary unit.
7. Select the group from the Product Group drop-down list. The product group setting specifies the MySonicWALL users who can upgrade or modify the appliance.
8. Click Register.

An Introduction to Zones and Interfaces

Zones split a network infrastructure into logical areas, each with its own set of usage rules, security services, and policies. Most networks include multiple definitions for zones, including those for trusted, untrusted, public, encrypted, and wireless traffic.
Some basic (default) zone types include:
WAN— Untrusted resources outside your local network
LAN— Trusted local network resources
WLAN— Local wireless network resources originating from Dell
SonicWALL wireless enabled appliances such as SonicPoints.
DMZ— Local network assets that must be accessible from the WAN zone (such as Web and FTP servers)
VPN— Trusted endpoints in an otherwise untrusted zone, such as the WAN
The security features and settings configured for the zones are enforced by binding a zone to one or more physical interfaces (such as, X0, X1, or X2) on the Dell SonicWALL appliance.
The X1 and X0 interfaces are preconfigured as WAN and LAN respectively. The remaining ports can be configured to meet the needs of your network, either by using basic zone types (WAN, LAN, WLAN, DMZ, VPN) or configuring a custom zone type to fit your network requirements (for example: Gaming Console Zone, Wireless Printer Zone, Wireless Ticket Scanner Zone).
A Zone is a logical grouping of one or more interfaces designed to make management, such as the definition and application of access rules, a simpler and more intuitive process than following a strict physical interface scheme.
By default, the Dell SonicWALL appliance’s stateful packet inspection allows all communication from the LAN to the Internet, and blocks all traffic from the Internet to the LAN. The following behaviors are defined by the “Default” stateful inspection packet access rule enabled in the Dell SonicWALL appliance:
Originating Zone Destination Zone Action
LAN, WLAN WAN, DMZ Allow
DMZ WAN Allow
WAN DMZ Deny
WAN and DMZ LAN or WLAN Deny
47 | An Introduction to Zones and Interfaces

Creating a NAT Policy

The Network Address Translation (NAT) engine in SonicOS allows users to define granular NAT policies for their incoming and outgoing traffic. By default, the Dell SonicWALL appliance has a preconfigured NAT policy to allow all systems connected to the LAN interface to perform Many-to-One NAT using the IP address of the WAN interface, and a policy to not perform NAT when traffic crosses between the other interfaces.
You can create multiple NAT policies on a Dell SonicWALL appliance running SonicOS for the same object – for instance, you can specify that an internal server use one IP address when accessing Telnet servers, and to use a totally different IP address for all other protocols. Because the NAT engine in SonicOS supports inbound port forwarding, it is possible to hide multiple internal servers off the WAN IP address of the Dell SonicWALL appliance. The more granular the NAT Policy, the more precedence it takes.
Before configuring NAT Policies, you must create all Address Objects associated with the policy. For instance, if you are creating a One-to-One NAT policy, first create Address Objects for your public and private IP addresses.
Address Objects are one of four object classes (Address, User, Service and Schedule) in SonicOS. These Address Objects allow for entities to be defined one time, and to be re-used in multiple referential instances throughout the SonicOS interface.
For example, take an internal Web server with an IP address of
67.115.118.80. Rather than repeatedly typing in the IP address when constructing Access Rules or NAT Policies, Address Objects allow you to create a single entity called “My Web Server” as a Host Address Object with an IP address of
67.115.118.80. This Address Object, “My Web Server”, can then be easily and efficiently selected from a drop-down menu in any configuration screen that employs Address Objects as a defining criterion.
Since there are multiple types of network address expressions, there are currently the following Address Objects types:
Host— Host Address Objects define a single host by its IP
address.
Range— Range Address Objects define a range of
contiguous IP addresses.
Network— Network Address Objects are like Range objects
in that they comprise multiple hosts, but rather than being bound by specified upper and lower range delimiters, the boundaries are defined by a valid netmask.
MAC Address— MAC Address Objects allow for the
identification of a host by its hardware address or MAC (Media Access Control) address.
FQDN Address— FQDN Address Objects allow for the
identification of a host by its Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN), such as www.sonicwall.com.
Creating a NAT Policy | 48
SonicOS provides a number of Default Address Objects that cannot be modified or deleted. You can use the Default Address Objects when creating a NAT policy, or you can create custom Address Objects to use. All Address Objects are available in the drop-down lists when creating a NAT policy.

Configuring Address Objects

The Network > Address Objects page allows you to create and manage your Address Objects. You can view Address Objects in the following ways using the View Style menu:
All Address Objects— displays all configured Address Objects.
Custom Address Objects— displays Address Objects with custom properties.
Default Address Objects— displays Address Objects configured by default on the Dell SonicWALL appliance.
To add an Address Object:
1. Navigate to the Network > Address Objects page.
2. Below the Address Objects table, click Add.
3. In the Add Address Object dialog box, enter a name for the
Address Object in the Name field.
4. Select the zone to assign to the Address Object from the Zone Assignment drop-down list.
5. Select Host, Range, Network, MAC, or FQDN from the Typ e menu.
• If you selected Host, enter the IP address in the IP
Address field.
• If you selected Range, enter the starting and ending IP
addresses in the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address fields.
• If you selected Network, enter the network IP address
and netmask in the Network and Netmask fields.
• If you selected MAC, enter the MAC address and
netmask in the Network and MAC Address field.
• If you selected FQDN, enter the domain name for the
individual site or range of sites (with a wildcard) in the FQDN field.
6. Click OK.
49 | Creating a NAT Policy

Configuring NAT Policies

NAT policies allow you to control Network Address Translation based on matching combinations of Source IP address, Destination IP address and Destination Services. Policy-based NAT allows you to deploy different types of NAT simultaneously. The following NAT configurations are available in SonicOS:
• Many-to-One NAT Policy
• Many-to-Many NAT Policy
• One-to-One NAT Policy for Outbound Traffic
• One-to-One NAT Policy for Inbound Traffic (Reflexive)
• One-to-Many NAT Load Balancing
• Inbound Port Address Translation via One-to-One NAT Policy
• Inbound Port Address Translation via WAN IP Address
This section describes how to configure a One-to-One NAT policy. One-to-One is the most common NAT policy used to route traffic to an internal server, such as a Web Server. Most of the time, this means that incoming requests from external IPs are translated from the IP address of the Dell SonicWALL appliance WAN port to the IP address of the internal web server.
For other NAT configurations, see the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.
An example configuration illustrates the use of the fields in the Add NAT Policy procedure. To add a One-to-One NAT policy that allows all Internet traffic to be routed through a public IP address, two policies are needed: one for the outbound traffic, and one for the inbound traffic. To add both parts of a One-to­One NAT policy, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to the Network > NAT Policies page. Click Add.
The Add NAT Policy dialog box displays.
2. For Original Source, select Any.
3. For Translated Source, select Original.
4. For Original Destination, select X0 IP.
5. For Translated Destination, select Create new address
object and create a new address object using WAN for Zone Assignment and Host for Type.
6. For Original Service, select HTTP.
7. For Translated Service, select Original.
8. For Inbound Interface, select X0.
9. For Outbound Interface, select Any.
10. For Comment, enter a short description.
11. Select the Enable NAT Policy checkbox.
12. Select the Create a reflexive policy checkbox if you want
a matching NAT Policy to be automatically created in the opposite direction. This will create the outbound as well as the inbound policies.
13. Click OK

Applying Security Services to Zones

Troubleshooting Diagnostic Tools

A network zone is a logical group of one or more interfaces to which you can apply security rules to regulate traffic passing from one zone to another zone.
Security services such as Gateway Anti-Virus are automatically applied to the LAN and WAN network zones when you activate the license and enable the service. To protect other zones such as the DMZ or Wireless LAN (WLAN), you must apply the security services to the network zones. For example, you can configure Dell SonicWALL Intrusion Prevention Service for incoming and outgoing traffic on the WLAN zone to add more security for internal network traffic.
To apply services to network zones:
1. Navigate to the Network > Zones page.
2. In the Zone Settings table, click the Configure icon for the zone where you want to apply security services.
3. In the Edit Zone dialog box on the General tab, select the checkboxes for the security services to enable on this zone.
4. On the Edit Zone page, select the checkboxes for the security services that you want to enable.
5. Click OK.
6. To enable security services on other zones, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each zone.
SonicOS provides a number of diagnostic tools to help you maintain your network and troubleshoot problems. Several tools can be accessed on the System > Diagnostics page, and others are available on other screens.
This section contains the following subsections:

Using Ping

Using the Active Connections Monitor

Ping is available on the System > Diagnostics page.
The Ping test bounces a packet off a machine on the Internet and returns it to the sender. This test shows if the Dell SonicWALL appliance is able to contact the remote host. If users on the LAN are having problems accessing services on the Internet, try pinging the DNS server, or another machine at the ISP location. If the test is unsuccessful, try pinging devices outside the ISP. If you can ping devices outside of the ISP, then the problem lies with the ISP connection.
The Active Connections Monitor displays real-time, exportable (plain text or CSV), filterable views of all connections to and through the Dell SonicWALL appliance. This tool is available on the Systems > Diagnostics page.
You can filter the results to display only connections matching certain criteria. You can filter by Source IP, Destination IP, Destination Port, Protocol, Src Interface and Dst Interface. Enter your filter criteria in the Active Connections Monitor Settings table.
The fields you enter values into are combined into a search string with a logical AND. Select the Group Filters box next to any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR.

Using Log > View

The Dell SonicWALL appliance maintains an Event log for tracking potential security threats. You can view the log in the Log > View page, or it can be automatically sent to an email address for convenience and archiving. The log is displayed in a table and can be sorted by column.
You can filter the results to display only event logs matching certain criteria. You can filter by Priority, Category, Source (IP or Interface), and Destination (IP or Interface). The fields you enter values into are combined into a search string with a logical AND. Select the Group Filters box next to any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR.
