About SonicOS

This guide is a part of the SonicOS collection of administrative guides that describes how to administer and monitor the SonicWall family of firewalls. SonicOS provides network administrators the management interface, API (Application Program Interface), and the Command Line Interface (CLI) for firewall configuration by setting objects to secure and protect the network services, to manage traffic, and to provide the desired level of network service. This guide focuses on how to configure the diagnostics settings on the SonicWall security appliances.
Working with SonicOS

SonicOS provides a web management interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring the features, policies, security services, connected devices, and threats to your network. SonicOS runs on top of SonicCore, SonicWall’s secure underlying operating system.
The SonicOS management interface facilitates:

  • Setting up and configuring your firewall
  • Configuring external devices like access points or switches
  • Configuring networks and external system options that connect to your firewall
  • Defining objects and policies for protection
  • Monitoring the health and status of the security appliance, network, users, and connections
  • Monitoring traffic, users, and threats
  • Investigating events

SonicWall offers two different modes of operation in SonicOS; the modes differ mainly in the areas of policy, object configuration and diagnostics.

  • Policy Mode provides a unified policy configuration work flow. It combines Layer 3 to Layer 7 policy enforcement for security policies and optimizes the work flow for other policy types. This unified policy work flow gathers many security settings into one place, which were previously configured on different pages of the management interface.
  • Classic Mode is more consistent with earlier releases of SonicOS; you need to develop individual policies and actions for specific security services. The Classic Mode has a redesigned interface.

This table identifies which modes can be used on the different SonicWall firewalls:

Firewall Type Classic Mode Policy Mode Comments
TZ Series yes no The entry level TZ Series, also known as desktop

firewalls, deliver revamped features such as 5G readiness, better connectivity options, improved threat, SSL and decryption performance that address HTPPS bandwidth issues; built-in SDWAN, and lawful TLS 1.3 decryption support.
NSa Series| yes| no| NSa firewalls provide your mid sized network with enhanced security . They are designed specifically for businesses with 250 and up. it can provide cloud-based and on-box capabilities like TLS/SSL decryption and inspection, application intelligence and control, SD-WAN, real-time visualization, and WLAN management.
NSsp 10700, NSsp 11700,
NSsp 13700| yes| no| The NSsp platforms high-end firewalls that deliver the advanced threat protection and fast  speeds that large enterprises, data centers, and service providers need.
NSsp 15700| no| yes| The NSsp 15700 is designed for large distributed enterprises, data centers, government agencies and services providers. It provides advanced threat protection like Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection, multi-instance firewall configuration, and unified policy creation and modification, with scalability and availability.
NSv Series| yes| yes| The NSv series firewalls offers all the security advantages of a physical firewall with the operational and economic benefits of virtualization. The NSv firewalls can operate in either Policy Mode or Classic Mode. You can switch between modes, but some configuration information from extra interfaces is removed.

In addition to the management interface, SonicOS also has a full-featured API and a CLI to manage the firewalls. For more information, refer to:

SonicOS Workflow
When working with SonicWall products, you can use the following workflow as a guide for setting up your security solution.SONICWALL SonicOS 7.1
Diagnostics for Classic Mode - SonicOS Workflow

You begin your planning as you start making your purchasing decisions. Your sales partners can help you assess your network and make recommendations based on the kinds of security services you need. You can learn more about SonicWall products by reviewing Technical Documentation – SonicWall and Technical Documentation – SonicWall. After selecting the solution, you can schedule your implementation.
After planning and scheduling your solution, you begin setting up the firewalls. The Technical Documentation – SonicWall for your products can help you begin setting up the pieces to your solution. The getting started guides are designed to help you install the firewall to a minimal level of operation. Before performing any detailed configuration tasks described in the SonicOS Administration Guides, you should have your firewall set up and basic operation validated.
The configuration block of the workflow refers to the many tasks that combine to define how your firewall is integrated into your security solution and how it behaves when protecting your environment. Depending on the features of your security solution, this task can be quite complex. The System Administration Guides are broken into the key command sets and features. Some documents may be used for all solutions, but others may be used use only if you integrated that feature into your solution. For example, High Availability or Wireless Access Points are not necessarily used by all customers. More information about a feature’s workflow is presented in the feature administration guide. Refer to the Technical Documentation – SonicWall for more information.
Configuration tends to be a one-time activity, although you might make minor adjustments after monitoring performance or after diagnosing an issue. The configuration activity can be broken down into the more detailed flow as the following figure shows. This also mirrors the key functions that are listed across the top of the management interface.SONICWALL SonicOS 7.1 Diagnostics
for Classic Mode - SonicOS Workflow 1

There is some flexibility in the order in which you do things, but this is the general work-flow you would follow when configuring your firewall. Start by defining the settings on the firewall. Next you set up the system and other devices that your firewall is connected to, and you can choose to implement High Availability when done. After your device, network, and system is configured, you should define the objects that you want to monitor. Then you use those objects to define the policies that protect your network. The final step to preparing your setup is to validate the user authentication.

How to Use the SonicOS Administration Guides
The SonicOS Administration Guide is a collection of guides that detail the features represented by each of the main menu items in the management interface. Within each guide, you can find topics covering commands in that menu group, along with procedures and in-depth information. The exceptions are the SonicOS 7.1 Monitor Guide and the SonicOS 7.1 Objects Guide which combine the topics for each of those functions into a single book.
To help you understand how the books align with the features and commands, the following figure shows the books organized like the SonicWall management interface.SONICWALL SonicOS 7.1 Diagnostics for Classic Mode -

Check Network Settings

Check Network Settings is a diagnostic feature that automatically checks the network connectivity and service availability of several pre‐defined functional areas of SonicOS, returns the results, and attempts to describe the causes if any exceptions are detected.SONICWALL SonicOS 7.1 Diagnostics for
Classic Mode - Check Network SettingsThis tool helps you locate the problem area when users encounter a network problem. The feature lists both IPv4 and IPv6 network settings in different tabs.
Specifically, Check Network Settings automatically tests the following functions:

  • Default Gateway settings
  • DNS settings
  • MySonicWall server connectivity
  • License Manager server connectivity
  • Content Filter server connectivity

The return data consists of two parts:

  • Test Results – Provides a summary of the test outcome
  • Notes – Provides details to help determine the cause if any problems exist

The Check Network Settings feature is dependent on the Network Monitor feature available under Network
Network Monitor view. Whenever the Check Network Settings tool is being executed (except during the Content Filter test), a corresponding Network Monitor Policy appears on the Network | Network Monitor page, with a special diagnostic tool policy name in the form:

Trace Route

Trace Route is a diagnostic utility that assists in diagnosing and troubleshooting router connections on the Internet. By using Internet UDP packets similar to Ping packets, Trace Route can test interconnectivity with routers and other hosts that are spread along the network path until the connection fails or until the remote host responds.
Trace Route tool includes a IPv6 networking option. When testing interconnectivity with routers and other hosts, SonicOS uses the first IP address that is returned and shows the actual Trace Route address. If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are returned, by default, the firewall checks the IPv4 address. If the Prefer IPv6 Networking option is enabled, the check only IPv6 address.SONICWALL SonicOS 7.1 Diagnostics for Classic Mode - Trace
Route To troubleshoot with Trace Route:

  1. Navigate to Device > Diagnostics > Trace Route.
  2. Type the IP address or domain name of the destination host in the TraceRoute this host or IP address field.
