SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
• Syslog traffic
To configure the SonicWALL appliance for Connect on
Data operation, you must select Dial on
Data as the Dial Type for the Connection Profile. See “3G > Connection Profiles” on page 444
for more details.
Management/User Login
The Management/User Login section must be configured to enable remote management of
the SonicWALL appliance over the 3G interface.
You can select any of the supported management protocol(s): HTTPS, Ping, and/or SNMP.
You can also select HTTP for management traffic. However, bear in mind that HTTP traffic is
less secure than HTTPS.
Select Add rule to enable redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to have the SonicWALL
automatically convert HTTP requests to HTTPS requests for added security. This option is only
available
3G Interface Monitoring
The 3G Interface Monitoring section enables administrators to configure the 3G interface to
monitor the connection to the service provider and automatically disable the 3G interface if the
3G connection fails. Interface monitoring is accomplished by probing a specified target at a set
interval.
Note If the Probe Target is unable to contact the target device, the 3G interface is deactivated
and traffic is no longer sent to the 3G.
1. In the Check interface every box, enter an interval between probes (in seconds). The
default value for this field is 5 seconds.
2. In the Re-establish connection after box, enter the number of target probes that must be
missed before a 3G connection is re-established. The default value for this field is 2 missed
intervals.
