412 | SRA 6.0 Administrator's Guide
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>
Does the SRA appliance have a Command Line Interface (CLI)?
Answer: Yes, the SRA 4600, 4200, 1600, and 1200 have a simple CLI when connected to
the console port. The SRA Virtual Appliance is also configurable with the CLI. The Dell
SonicWALL SRA 6.0 CLI allows configuration of only the X0 interface on the Dell
SonicWALL SRA appliances or SRA Virtual Appliance.
Can I Telnet or SSH into the SRA appliance?
Answer: No, neither Telnet or SSH are supported in the current release of the SRA
appliance software as a means of management (this is not to be confused with the Telnet
and SSH proxies, which the appliance does support).
When controlling user access, can I apply permissions on both a domain as well as a Forest
basis?
Answer: Yes, using the LDAP connector.
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. It will only run on Internet Explorer 8.0 or newer.
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 on the Logout button.
If you close the Web browser using any other means, the Web cache cleaner cannot run.
What does the 'encrypt settings file' check box do?
Answer: This setting will encrypt the settings file so that if it is exported it cannot be read
by unauthorized sources. Although it is encrypted, it can be loaded back onto the SRA
appliance (or a replacement appliance) and decrypted. If this box is not selected, the
exported settings file is clear-text and can be read by anyone.
What does the 'store settings' button do?
Answer: By default, the settings are automatically stored on a SRA appliance any time a
change to programming is made, but this can be shut off if desired. If this is disabled, all
unsaved changes to the appliance will be lost. This feature is most useful when you are
unsure of making a change that may result in the box locking up or dropping off the network.
If the setting is not immediately saved, you can power-cycle the box and it will return to the
previous state before the change was made.
What does the 'create backup' button do?
Answer: This feature allows you to create a backup snapshot of the firmware and settings
into a special file that can be reverted to from the management interface or from SafeMode.
Dell SonicWALL strongly recommends creating system backup right before loading new
software, or making significant changes to the programming of the appliance.
What is 'SafeMode'?
Answer: SafeMode is a feature of the SRA appliance that allows administrators to switch
between software image builds and revert to older versions in case a new software image
turns out to cause issues. In cases of software image corruption, the appliance will boot into
a special interface mode that allows the administrator to choose which version to boot, or
load a new version of the software image.
How do I access the SafeMode menu?
