SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Note If you disable Visualization in the SonicOS management interface, application signature
updates are discontinued until the feature is enabled again.
When High Availability is configured between two SonicWALL appliances, the appliances can
share the Security Services license. To use this feature, you must register the SonicWALL
appliances on MySonicWALL as Associated Products. Both appliances must be the same
SonicWALL model.
Note For a High Availability pair, even if you first register your appliances on MySonicWALL, you
must individually register both the Primary and the Backup appliances from the SonicOS
management interface while logged into the
individual management IP address of each
appliance. This allows the Backup unit to synchronize with the SonicWALL license server
and share licenses with the associated Primary appliance. When Internet access is
restricted, you can manually apply the shared licenses to both appliances.
Note App Visualization and App Control are not supported on the SonicWALL TZ 200 or 100
series appliances. These features are supported on SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliances,
and on SonicWALL NSA appliances except the NSA 2400MX.
Firewall > App Control Advanced
The Firewall > App Control Advanced page provides a way to configure global App Control
policies using categories, applications, and signatures. Policies configured on this page are
independent from App Rules policies, and do not need to be added to an App Rules policy to
take effect.
You can configure the following settings on this page:
• Select a category, an application, or a signature.
• Select blocking, logging, or both as the action.
• Specify users, groups, or IP address ranges to include in or exclude from the action.
• Set a schedule for enforcing the controls.
While these application control settings are independent
from App Rules policies, you can also
create application match objects for any of the categories, applications, or signatures available
here, and use those match objects in an App Rules policy. See the “Application List Objects”
section on page 640 for more information.
Configuring App Control Global Settings
