SonicWALL GMS Aventail EX-Series Appliance Management 1
Feature Overview What is SonicWALL GMS Aventail Appliance Management? SonicWALL GMS gives you a single management interface for centrally managing and deploying SonicWALL appliances and security policy configurations. GMS also provides centralized, real-time monitoring, and policy and compliance reporting. You can configure an Aventail EX-Series appliance to be managed by SonicWALL GMS. Supported features include: Add unit and acquire it for GMS management Display appliance information Accept heartbeat/syslog messages Monitor up/down status One-click login to unit from GMS management interface, using HTTPS SonicWALL GMS also provides reports for the SonicWALL Aventail appliance. Currently the appliance reports the following: User authentication-related events: these are logged, encrypted, and sent as they occur. Available reports include User Logins and Failed Logins. The user login report shows the user name, source host IP address, and time of login for users who have logged in to the appliance during the specified day; the failed login report shows unsuccessful login attempts, which is useful for identifying unauthorized access attempts and potentially malicious activity. Status information: SonicWALL GMS can provide daily and over time status up/down reports for the Aventail appliance at both unit and group levels. Status reports provide appliance details such as model and serial numbers, language, up-time, and firmware version. Available reports include Uptime and Uptime Over Time. These reports can be scheduled to be automatically emailed in PDF format on a regular basis. Benefits Management of a single or multiple SonicWALL Aventail SSL VPN appliances is simplified by using SonicWALL GMS. With a single login to SonicWALL GMS, multiple Aventail SSL VPNs can be monitored, statistics can be viewed instantly, and the management interface for each appliance can be accessed directly. SonicWALL GMS Aventail SSL VPN appliance management allows you to: View Aventail SSL VPN appliance status Synchronize SonicWALL GMS with updates made locally to the Aventail SSL VPN appliance Synchronize the Aventail SSL VPN appliance with mysonicwall.com Generate user authentication and appliance status reports Perform Aventail SSL VPN management interface tasks How Does SonicWALL GMS Aventail Appliance Management Work? SonicWALL GMS appliance management uses HTTPS to access and allow central management of SonicWALL Aventail SSL VPN appliances. After SonicWALL GMS initially establishes an HTTPS connection to the appliance, GMS then reads the appliance configuration and acquires the appliance for management. 2 SonicWALL GMS Aventail EX-Series Appliance Management
Preparing an Aventail Appliance for GMS Management The SonicWALL Aventail EX-Series appliance allows HTTPS access only to its LAN port(s), and not to its WAN port(s). This means that when SonicWALL GMS is deployed outside of the Aventail LAN subnet(s), management traffic must be routed from GMS to a gateway that allows access into the LAN network, and from there be routed to the Aventail LAN port. Using SonicWALL GMS, you can then view system status, synchronize with mysonicwall.com, and configure alerts on the managed appliances. From the SonicWALL GMS user interface, you can also log into the Aventail Management Console of the managed appliances to perform direct management and configuration tasks. SonicWALL GMS also provides some reports for managed SonicWALL Aventail SSL VPN appliances. Reporting functionality is based on syslog events received by GMS from the SonicWALL Aventail appliance. Platforms SonicWALL GMS Aventail SSL VPN appliance management is available in the SonicWALL GMS 4.1.2 release. SonicWALL GMS appliance management supports the following SonicWALL Aventail EX-Series appliances running version 9.0.0 or higher: SonicWALL Aventail EX-750 SonicWALL Aventail EX-1500 SonicWALL Aventail EX-1600 SonicWALL Aventail EX-2500 Preparing an Aventail Appliance for GMS Management To allow SonicWALL GMS to manage a SonicWALL Aventail EX-Series appliance, GMS management must be enabled on a registered and licensed appliance.
