Key Features in SonicOS Enhanced 5.8.1

configure App Rule policies for application blocking, bandwidth management, or packet
monitoring.
• Current Users and Detail of Users Options for TSR - SonicOS 5.8.1.0 provides two new
checkboxes, Current users and Detail of users, in the Tech Support Report section of the
System > Diagnostics page. These options allow the currently connected users to be
omitted from the TSR, included as a simple summary list, or included with full details.

language of the login authentication pages that are presented to users. Administrators can
translate the login related pages with their own wording and apply the changes so that they
take effect without rebooting.
