3.0 out of 5 stars Good with a few exceptions, Jun 26 2006

By dallasswuser - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Configuring SonicWALL Firewalls (Paperback)

I've been using sonicwalls for the last 5 years. I was exited to see a sonicwall specific book that would take me past the help files and cds that come with the units themselves. At times, it does, and at others leaves you yearning for more.

For the record new users of sonicwalls will benifit from the use of this book - others, wanting to become Sonicwall guru's, will need something else.

For example it takes you step by step to set up a site to site vpn in SOnic OSe. Well covered. Hoever the section on the Sonicwall Global VPN client is pretty much the help file rewritten.

Also for those of you using the Sonic OS standard it eliminates that OS as a version worth using (which it is). So if you are not going to have multiple interfaces with different zones this book isn't for you.

Additionally it does not cover older versions of the sonicwall operating system. For those long time users of the sonicwall product line that need to figure out how to move from the older platform to the new this book is of no help. If are willing to to start with the new OS as a new user (willing to throw out "the way it worked before") and start over this book WILL help.

I was also looking for a 3rd part perspective that led to "tricks" with sonicwalls. Futhermore interoperability cases between Sonicwalls and other manufactureers models of differnt firmware versions would have been nice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Probably shouldn't bother, Jan 24 2008

By John Fountain - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Configuring SonicWALL Firewalls (Paperback)

This book is pretty much worthless. Anyone with an ounce of experience configuring any type of network device with a web-based interface could have written it. It's not a book that explains cause and effect relationships of configuration options. Basically what it does is tell you what to click in order to enable or change the different options on the firewall. Example: "Click the check box next to the VPN Policy to enable it"... No kidding, I wouldn't have guessed that's how it works! Brilliant! This book is chock-full of great, insightful gems like that. Someone buying a book to learn how to configure a device like this needs practical examples and descriptions of what the options actually do, not hand-holding for basic interface paradigms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated but useful info, April 14 2008

By Action Danno "Action Dan" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Configuring SonicWALL Firewalls (Paperback)

Basic book on Sonicwall products with an overview of their product line. This book needs an update as many new products have been released and are not listed. Many of the devices listed are now at end of life or nearing such status. Would Not recommend this book if you are interested in the new TZ190 line or the NSA product line as the book has nothing on these products!
