gateway.

In this scenario, the NSA E6500 is configured in NAT/Route
mode to operate as a single network gateway. Two Internet
sources may be routed through the appliance for load balancing
and failover purposes. Because only a single appliance is
deployed, the added benefits of high availability with a stateful
synchronized pair are not available.

L2 Bridge Mode employs a secure learning bridge architecture,
enabling it to pass and inspect traffic types that cannot be
handled by many other methods of transparent security
appliance integration. Using L2 Bridge Mode, a Dell SonicWALL
security appliance can be non-disruptively added to any
Ethernet network to provide in-line deep-packet inspection for
all traversing IPv4 TCP and UDP traffic. L2 Bridge Mode can
pass all traffic types, including IEEE 802.1q VLANs, Spanning

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

DMZ WAN Allow

WAN DMZ 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

Enabling Security Services in SonicOS

You must enable each security service individually in the
SonicOS user interface. See the following procedures to enable
and configure the following three basic security services:

Gateway Anti-Virus

Intrusion Prevention

Anti-Spyware

For more information on configuring your security services,
refer to the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.

51 | Enabling Security Services in SonicOS

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 - page 53

• Using the Active Connections Monitor - page 53

• Using Log > View - page 53

Applying Security Services to Zones | 52

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.
