SonicOS 7 Getting Started Guide for the NSsp 13700 and NSa Series

Introduction

Today’s distributed IT—where end points are on premises, in the cloud, in the data center, at a branch office or in

a home office—is creating an unprecedented explosion of exposure across organizations. As the exposure

points to multiply, business risks continue to escalate, and each one needs to be protected from today’s

sophisticated threats. SonicWall offers several firewall models to suit your business.

The NSa Series offers a mid-range solution. They are designed for businesses having 250 users and up. With

cloud-based and on-box capabilities like TLS/SSL decryption and inspection, application intelligence and control,

secure SD-WAN, real-time visualization, and WLAN management, the NSa Series provides flexible, fast and

cost-effective security to keep the threats out.

To resolve similar challenges for enterprise-level customers, the SonicWall Network Security services platform

(NSsp) is a high-end firewall series delivering advanced threat protection and fast speeds demanded by large

enterprises, data centers and service providers. The NSsp 13700 is the enterprise firewall to replace existing NSa

9650 firewalls.

This document describes how to get started on one of the firewalls from the NSa Series or on the NSsp 13700.

These systems run classic SonicOS 7. It also includes information on how to migrate the configuration settings

from older firewalls to firewalls covered by this document.

NOTE: This document does not include information pertaining to the NSsp 15700. For more information

about that firewall, refer to SonicOSX7 NSsp 15700 Getting Started Guide.

Introduction

NSa Series Overview

The NSa Series offers a mid-range solution. They are designed for businesses having 250 users and up. With

cloud-based and on-box capabilities like TLS/SSL decryption and inspection, application intelligence and control,

secure SD-WAN, real-time visualization, and WLAN management, the NSa Series provides flexible, fast and

cost-effective security to keep the threats out.

The updated NSa Series has been built from the ground up with the latest hardware components, all designed to

deliver multi-gigabit threat prevention throughput — even for encrypted traffic. The firewalls support high port

density, including multiple 40 GbE and 10 GbE ports, hardware redundancy with high availability, and dual power

supplies, depending on the model.

This section describes how to get started on one of the firewalls from the NSa Series:

NSa Series Overview

Internet Edge Deployment

In this standard deployment option, the NSa Series—a next generation firewall (NGFW)—protects private

networks from malicious traffic coming from the internet.

It allows you to:

lDeploy a proven NSa Series solution with highest performance and port density (including 40 GbE and 10

GbE connectivity) in its class

lGain visibility and inspect encrypted traffic, including TLS 1.3, to block evasive threats coming from the

Internet — all without compromising performance

lProtect your enterprise with integrated security, including malware analysis, cloud app security, URL

filtering and reputation services

lSave space and money with an integrated solution that includes advanced security and networking

capabilities

lReduce complexity and maximize efficiency using a central management system delivered through an

intuitive single-pane of-glass user interface

NSa Series Overview

Medium and Distributed Enterprises

The SonicWall NSa Series supports SD-WAN and can be centrally managed, making it an ideal fit for medium

and distributed enterprises.

This deployment allows organizations to:

lFuture-proof against an ever-changing threat landscape by investing in a firewall with multi-gigabit threat

analysis performance

lProvide direct and secure internet access to distributed branch offices instead of back-hauling through

corporate headquarters

lAllow distributed branch offices to securely access internal resources in corporate headquarters or in a

public cloud, significantly improving application latency

lAutomatically block threats that use encrypted protocols such as TLS 1.3, securing networks from the

most advanced attacks

lReduce complexity and maximize efficiency using a central management system delivered through an

intuitive single pane of glass user interface

lLeverage high port density that includes 40 GbE and 10 GbE connectivity to support a distributed

enterprise and wide area networks
