Sonicwall Internal Settings compared to XG Firewall

B.R.O.

FYI

I have had trouble migrating from a Sonicwall to a XG and I just remembered the sonicwall has a /diag.html page for their internal settings to be used only at the direction of Technical Support.

 

Interesting settings are:

I found another section of settings for the sonicwall by visiting the /diag.html page

Interesting settings enabled are:

DHCP Settings:

SEND DHCPNAK if the 'requested IP address is on the wrong network'

VoIP Settings:

    We tend to go with Cisco or HP/Aruba for this.  Typically fits in with what customers already have from a switching infrastructure, and they just work.

    I've gone Dell X series as well, but that's few and far between.

    Cheers!

    P.S.  Coming from a long time Sonicwall user (both as a customer and partner), I think moving is the right direction.  XG has its faults, but our clients have been extremely happy with them and Sophos is fully committed to it.  I personally believe we will all be happy as pie when v18 hits.
