When setting up a main Sonicwall 400 and another at a satellite site I was asked the question about needing the MX and A records.

Why are these needed for the Sonicwall?

Thanks.

Who is asking for MX and A records? What was the context of the question?

You haven't provided us with much information...

a network engineer is upgrading our network to Sonicwall TZ400

a main office and a satellite office will get the upgrade

we will change our current remote access to NetExtender

we don't have web or email services on premises but we do have a active directory, dns, dhcp server (Win 2016)

the sonicwall will use the local active directory for authenication

Hi @ACETECH,

SonicWall doesn't need these unless and until you use domain name to connect to the SonicWall on Netextender. Also, to access local resources using domain name when connected via Netextender, you would specify the DNS server address on the SonicWall SSLVPN configuration.

Hope this answers your question.
