that you have correctly configured the DNS and default route settings on the Network pages.
14 Can I create site-to-site VPN tunnels with the SMA/SRA appliance?
Answer:
No, it is only a client-access appliance. If you require this, you need a Dell SonicWALL TZ, NSA.
or SuperMassive series security appliance.
15 Can the Dell SonicWALL Global VPN Client (or any other third-party VPN client) connect to the SMA/SRA
appliance?
Answer:
No, only NetExtender and proxy sessions are supported.
16 Can I connect to the SMA/SRA appliance over a modem connection?
Answer:
Yes, although performance is slow, even over a 56K connection it is usable.
17 What SSL ciphers are supported by the SMA/SRA appliance?
Answer:
Starting with 7.5 firmware or newer, Dell SonicWALL only uses HIGH security ciphers with
TLSv1, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2. In 8.0 firmware or newer, SSL Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is supported.
18 Is AES supported in the SMA/SRA appliance?
Answer:
Yes, if your browser supports it.
19 Can I expect similar performance (speed, latency, and throughput) as my IPSec VPN?
Answer:
Yes, actually you might see better performance as NetExtender uses multiplexed PPP
connections and runs compression over the connections to improve performance.
20 Is Two-factor authentication (RSA SecurID, etc) supported?
Answer
: Yes, this is supported.
21 Does the SMA/SRA appliance support VoIP?
Answer:
Yes, over NetExtender connections.
22 Is Syslog supported?
Answer:
Yes.
23 Does NetExtender support multicast?
Answer
: Not at this time. Look for this in a future firmware release.
24 Are SNMP and Syslog supported?
Answer
: Syslog forwarding to up to two external servers is supported in the current software release.
SNMP is supported beginning in the 5.0 release. MIBs can be downloaded from MySonicWALL.
25 Does the SMA/SRA appliance have a Command Line Interface (CLI)?
Answer:
Yes, the SMA/SRA appliances have a simple CLI when connected to the console port. The SMA
500v Virtual Appliance is also configurable with the CLI. The Secure Mobile Access CLI allows
configuration of only the X0 interface on the SMA/SRA appliances or SMA 500v Virtual Appliance.
26 Can I Telnet or SSH into the SMA/SRA appliance?
Answer
: No, neither Telnet or SSH are supported in the current release of the SMA/SRA appliance
software as a means of management (this is not to be confused with the Telnet and SSH proxies that the
appliance does support).
27 What does the Web cache cleaner do?
Answer:
The Web cache cleaner is an ActiveX-based applet that removes all temporary files generated
during the session, removes any history bookmarks, and removes all cookies generated during the
session.
28 Why didn’t the Web cache cleaner work when I exited the Web browser?
Answer:
In order for the Web cache cleaner to run, you must click
Logout
. If you close the Web browser
using any other means, the Web cache cleaner cannot run.
