Enabling and Verifying Zero Touch

Zero Touch Deployment allows firewalls to be automatically acquired by your network infrastructure with minimal user intervention. It pushes policies, performs firmware upgrades and synchronizes licenses. You must opt in for Zero Touch Deployment by setting it up in your MySonicWall profile before you plug your firewall into the network..

To set up Zero Touch

  1. Login to your MySonicWall account.
  2. Navigate to Reports > My Reports.
  3. Click on a product’s serial number.
  4. In the PRODUCT DETAILS page, under Active Support, toggle the Enable Zero Touch switch.

To validate Zero Touch status using NSM

  1. In NSM, navigate to Manager View | HOME > Firewalls > Inventory.

  2. Refer to the ZERO TOUCH column to see the status of the Zero Touch connection. If you mouse over the icon, a pop-up defines the status further as shown in the following example:

NSM does not automatically reboot the firewall when the NSM Advanced License is applied to the firewall. A warning message is displayed along with the firewall name, indicating the firewall needs to be rebooted.
