Registering a TZ Firewall

Registration is an important part of the setup process and is necessary in order to receive the benefits of SonicWall security services, firmware updates, and technical support.

To register the appliance from SonicOS

  1. Connect the LAN interface (X0) of the TZ Series firewall to your computer. (Your computer should be configured to accept DHCP addressing.)
  2. Navigate to https://192.168.168.168 in your web browser.

  3. Click Register in the top banner or on the MONITOR | Current Status > System Status page under Security Services.

Registering the appliance from SonicOS requires that DNS Server settings are configured on the WAN (X1) interface.

  1. Log in using your MySonicWall account name and password. If you do not have a MySonicWall account, go to http://www.mysonicwall.com to create an account. MySonicWall directly obtains the necessary information from the appliance. When finished, a message notes that the registration is complete.

  2. Click CONTINUE.
