Configuration of the Log/Log Settings for SNMP
Trap messages are generated only for the categories that alert messages are normally sent,
i.e. attacks, system errors, blocked web sites. If none of the categories are selected on the
Log Settings page, then none of the trap messages are sent out.
Configuration of the Service and Rules Pages
By default, the SonicWALL appliance responds only to SNMP Get messages received on
its LAN interface. Appropriate rules must be set up in the SonicWALL to allow SNMP traffic
to and from the WAN. SNMP trap messages can be sent via the LAN, WAN, or DMZ
interface.
If your SNMP management system supports discovery, the SNMP agent should
automatically discover the SonicWALL appliance on the network. Otherwise, you must add
the SonicWALL appliance to the list of SNMP manageable devices on the SNMP
management system.
SonicWALL Remote Management
All SonicWALLs include a Management Security Association (SA) for secure remote
management. The Management SA does not permit access to remote network resources.
Because the Management SA is a standard feature, SonicWALL SOHO3 and SonicWALL
PRO 100 owners can remotely manage the SonicWALL with the purchase of the SonicWALL
VPN Client rather than the more expensive VPN Upgrade.
Note: If you have enabled VPN on your SonicWALL, the SonicWALL can be managed
remotely using a Management SA or with a VPN SA. See Chapter 11 for VPN
configuration instructions and basic VPN terms and concepts.
To enable secure remote management, click Access on the left side of the browser
window, and click the Management tab. Then select Managed: "from the LAN
interface and remotely from the WAN interface" to enable secure remote
management.
