Use Case

This section provides the use case information for the Cloud Secure Edge.

 

• Firewall is RMA
• Firewall is a Secure Upgrade
• SonicWall Active/Standby HA Pair Scenarios
• Temporarily Turning off the Connector
• Synchronize Status of the Connector

Firewall is RMA

The old unit continues working for two weeks as per RMA expectations. The user receive a replacement unit and then register to start using the new unit. SonicOS running in the new unit will request LM for a new Connector. LM follow the same process as requesting a new Connector for a firewall.

Firewall is a Secure Upgrade

Users may need to create a new service tunnel and access control policies on the CSE command center.

SonicWall Active/Standby HA Pair Scenarios

Only the primary in an HA pair environment have a Connector created in CSE. The secondary expects to use the same configuration when it becomes the 'active' in the active/standby pair and connects with the same variables via WireGuard to the POPs.

Temporarily Turning Off the Connector

Once the user enables the toggle for the Cloud Secure Edge Connector, a new option enables by default. The Enable Cloud Secure Edge connectivity option can be toggled OFF to disconnect the Connector on the firewall. Toggle back enable the Connector again. In this scenario, the Connector remains connected in the CSE console. Do not delete the Connector in the CSE console.

Synchronize Status of the Connector

Request this option in the CSE Status tab, and click it to get the Connector details, including the Connector status from LM. This will help to synchronize the Connector status with LM.
