Supported NSv Models

Determine the NSv instance type required before starting installation.

Currently supported AWS Size Models (Virtual Machine Sizes)

SonicWall NSv Model	AWS Instance Type Size	Core Count	Maximum Network Interfaces Count1 The maximum number of interfaces supported on an NSv instance is defined by the type of AWS virtual machine. For example, if more than two interfaces are required for an NSv 270, then use the NSv options with an AWS virtual machine supporting a higher number of interfaces.The maximum number of NICs supported by SonicWall NSv is always eight for all models. But the total number of interfaces in an AWS instance maybe constrained by the AWS virtual machine. Do select the instance size accordingly.
NSv 270	c5.large	2	3
NSv 470	c5.xlarge	4	4
NSv 870	c5.2xlarge	8	4

Newly supported sizes (Virtual Machine Sizes)

SonicWall NSv Model	AWS Instance Type Size	Core Count	Maximum Network Interfaces Count
NSv 270	c5n.large c5d.large m5.large m5n.large	2	3
NSv 470	c5n.xlarge c5d.xlarge m5.xlarge m5n.2xlarge	4	4
NSv 870	c5n.2xlarge c5d.2xlarge m5.2xlarge m5n.2xlarge	8	4

The maximum number of NICs supported by SonicWall NSv is always eight for all models. But the total number of interfaces in an NSv instance could be constrained by the selected Azure size model.

Standard_B server size serves only lab firewall so should be deployed with caution for production networks.
