Configuring WFS Acceleration
This section provides details on configuring WFS Acceleration. The SonicWALL WXA series
appliance must be connected to a SonicWALL NSA or TZ series appliance on a port other than
X0 and X1. In this example, X5 is used as the connection to the SonicWALL WXA series
appliance.

The SonicWALL WXA series appliance allows the user to reach such speeds because WFS
Acceleration is implemented between the two devices. This is how it works:
Step 1 The SonicWALL WXA series appliances join the data center domain.
For example, mydomain.lo
cal.
This step allows the WXA series appliances
to talk to each other.
Step 2 A hostname is assigned to each SonicWALL WXA series appliance.
This example uses fa
stboxhq for the data center and fastbox for the remote site.
This step allows the two hostnames be
accessible across the domain.
Step 3 The SonicWALL WXA fastboxhq is configured to share All Shares on the File Server.
Step 4 The SonicWALL WXA fastbox is configured to share All Shares on fastboxhq.
Steps 3 and 4 allow the domain users to access shares on the data center.
