NetExtender Configuration
This section provides information and configuration tasks specific to the NetExtender pages on the Dell
SonicWALL Secure Mobile Access web-based management interface.
NetExtender is an Secure Mobile Access client for Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android smart phone users that is
downloaded transparently and allows you to run any application securely on the company’s network. It uses
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). NetExtender allows remote clients to have seamless access to resources on your
local network.
Users can access NetExtender two ways: Using
Net Extender
on the Secure Mobile Access user portal, or by
using the NetExtender standalone client that is installed by clicking
NetExtender
in the Secure Mobile Access
web-based management interface. The NetExtender standalone client application can be accessed directly
from the Windows Start menu, from the Application folder or dock on Mac systems, by path name or from the
shortcut bar on Linux systems, and with the icon on Android smart phones.
The SMA/SRA appliance supports client certificates in both the standalone Windows NetExtender client and the
NetExtender Mobile client.
On Windows systems, NetExtender supports establishing a VPN session before logging in to Windows.
NetExtender supports IPv6 client connections from Windows systems running Vista or newer, and from Linux
clients. An IPv6 address pool for NetExtender is optional, while an IPv4 address pool is necessary.
