0. Register the new firewall on MySonicwall. Note down firewall serial number and auth code.

Few tips:
- Use unique storage account name - avoid capital letter or special characters.
- Note down the ssh password - you might need it in the future.
- If you do not know the public source ip that you will use to start the connection, you can set 0.0.0.0/0 as management access ip source - We strongly recommend editing the Network Security Group later with a specific public ip.
- Keep Image version as ''latest''.
- Edit WAN and LAN subnet ip's according to your preference.
3. Edit the ''Network Security Group'' for the firewall in Azure with your source public ip (with high priority) to allow the access.
4. Access the firewall using the public ip WAN-X1.
5. Use the default user and password "admin/password" and change the password.
6. To Manually configure Sonicwall - use the second "click here" link presented on the page after changing the password.
7. Register the device from firewall.
8. Use the MySonicwall user and password from the same MySonicwall account where you registered the device previously.
9. Enter the firewall serial number and auth code obtained from MySonicwall.
10. When presented with the choice of Classic mode (SonicOS) or Policy mode (SonicOSX) Select "Policy" mode
