  • @Larry, my TZ 670 with 7.1.3 created a 32 page PDF with more or less relevant information and a bunch of blank pages and HTML character encoding errors. Enabling the "Executive Summy only" in the Advanced options produces a 5 pager (only two pages holding information), so there is some difference. —Michael@BWC

  • Finally an official statement arrived today, MobileConnect for Windows will be removed from the App Store on February 24th 2025. NetExtender 10.3.1 will be the only option and this back and forth comes to an end. —Michael@BWC

  • How much Access Rules do you need? Usually the selection of a small box like the TZ 4x0 is made by throughput, not number of Access Rules. I checked a TSR of a TZ 470 (the obvious replacement) and it comes with 2710 Max Rules, but AFAIK it can be set up to 12710 Rules. I don't know what the immediate effect will be, maybe…
    in Maximum Rule Count on TZ400 sonicwall unit device query? Comment by BWC January 21
  • @dspjones this is a recurring question. Having ping enabled on the interface alone is not sufficient when you try to ping X0 from X5:V102. In your case you need an additional Access Rule from LAN to LAN, X5:V102 Subnet to X0 IP with service ping and having "Allow Management Traffic" in the Optional Settings enabled.…

  • I don't have any TZ 400 any longer in the field, but if you have access to the unit you can see that value on top of the Access Rules list in the upper right corner (or in the TSR). I have an older TSR of a TZ 500 laying around, and it said 2550 Rules, so I would guess it's not higher than that. —Michael@BWC

  • I don't have access to a 7.1.3 system with WIFI enabled to check, but 8.0 comes with updated firmwares in comparison to the latest 7.0.1 release (IMHO there should be no difference). 7.0.1 SonicWave-432o/432i/432esw_spw_eng_9.1.3.0_56.bin.sig SonicWave-231c/224w/231osw_spw_eng_9.2.3.0_56.bin.sig 8.0 (same on 7.1.2)…
    in Where's the new 7.1.3 firmware for the CVE emailed LAST NIGHT? Comment by BWC January 13
  • @Mariusz yes, 02-SSC-3114 is the correct SKU for the 32 GB Secondary Storage which fits into the TZ 370. If you're sure that having the System Logs on the Appliance without further analysis is enough, then it's a viable solution. If you have the chance to do external logging via syslog, then you would have all…

  • @Mariusz no the TZ 470 does not come with secondary store, the TZ 670 is the only one of the TZ series. The selection of Primary is greyed out and cannot be selected, but Secondary can, even it is not installed, which obviously will not work. —Michael@BWC
    in Number of records in System Logs Comment by BWC January 12
  • @Mariusz sadly the buffer cannot be increased, this was and still is a pain point with SonicWall Firewalls. Sorry for the confusion, the correct term would be Primary and Secondary storage, both of them are "internal" (SSD). The TZ 670 comes with Secondary storage which can be used for saving logs. Primary storage cannot…

  • @Larry if I click on the magnifier icon (for global search) it's processing forever, I'am not sure if this ever worked on Gen6 because I never used it. —Michael@BWC
    in Updating Gen 6.5 devices with 6.5.5.1-6n shows new / questionable Inform statement Comment by BWC January 12
  • @Mariusz the TZ 370 does not have any storage for holding the logs, just a simple ring buffer (32 KB?) If it's filled up all the older events vanish. The lower left corner of the table shows the max number of records available. The screenshot shows an TZ 670 for example which comes with internal storage. —Michael@BWC

  • @Mariusz this was added with 7.1.3 and 8.0 (on TZ 80). —Michael@BWC
    in SonicOS 8 (TZ 80) - Auto Update Comment by BWC January 12
  • @Sliderhome compared to 7.1.3 it's the same indeed, my mind was still on 7.0.1 because that's the branch I deployed to my customers. That screenshot shows what I meant, even the Livedemo shows -8035 as up to date, despite -8037 should be the latest. —Michael@BWC
    in SonicOS 8 (TZ 80) - Auto Update Comment by BWC January 12
  • @dslee it's available for at least 2 days now on MySonicWall … you can download it in the Download Center → By Product Line or on the Details page of your Product on the tab Firmware. Even on the "By Version" listing its downloadable now, there was a problem on Jan 8 for that. If it is not shown directly you might login in…
    in Where's the new 7.1.3 firmware for the CVE emailed LAST NIGHT? Comment by BWC January 10
  • The Firmware 8.0.0-8037 gets recognized as new Firmware available on a TZ 80, but only on the update channel "stable". When I check the option "Critical Updates only", which sets the "critical" update channel, it will not be recognized as new Firmware available. Due to the nature of the mentioned vulnerabilities fixed in…
