SONICWALL SSL-IA/SSL-R
The SSL-IA/SSL-R are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) offloading solutions that allow servers
to provide both secure and non-secure services at the same high speeds. The SSL-IA is a
small-footprint appliance; the SSL-R is a rack-mountable device. In this guide, the term
"SSL appliance" refers to either device.
Setup with the QuickStart wizard is fast and easy. You can secure a server immediately
using a default key and certificate pre-loaded into the SSL device, rather than wait up to a
week before you can begin configuration. Simply load your own certificate and key when
they are available.
