Re: Why has the Latency Increased from <1 ms on LAN when pinging new generation 7 Sonicwall?

This behaviour isn't all that surprising given the general slowness of the Gen7 devices, and I can confirm that the ping times going from Gen6 to Gen7 are a) higher b) much more jittery [see if you can spot where the firewall was replaced]:

However.....does it actually matter? Ping times through the firewall are exactly the same as before, it's just ping time to the firewall itself that has gone awry.

Re: About the new documentation with entries for SonicOS 7.x

This topic has been resolved with the introduction of the new SonicWall Support page - https://www.sonicwall.com/support/

Looking at KB articles you'll see "Select your SonicOS Version" drop-down at the top of the text that will drive you directly to the appropriate text.

Now, there's even a download option to save the KB as a PDF file.

Thanks a lot for this much-needed enhancement!
