Yea latest & greatest aren't the same release with SonicWall. 😂 People have reported that importing a config backup may bring back the missing items. YMMV

I haven't used Meraki but my understanding is that it goes off completely and without any grace periods. At least that's what I understood from a recent reddit post. Someone also said that Meraki had made mistakes where despite customers renewing the services on time the order didn't go through properly and access was cut…

That might be it, but since it's written in broad terms it leaves all options open. Critical Update isn't defined and it could apply to any product. It both cases it should be defined to which products they apply and in what cases. Blocking all traffic might be ok if it's clear that it only applies to appliances sold as a…

There's also this: "(e) Failure to maintain current support services may result in: (1) a reduction or elimination of functionality, including the loss of security services; and/or (2) blocking of all traffic through the relevant appliance or service." So they can brick appliances at their will. Looks like SonicWall really…

Thanks, I'll check it out. At least it seems to be working, so perhaps only a display issue.

I also have DNS Filtering enabled. Are you seeing any other side effects? For me everything seems to be working.

That page has the same recommendation: For NSv deployments running a previous version of SonicOS 6.5.4.v, upgrading via the System Update option in the NSv management console is recommended for this release. The System Update option updates both SonicOS and SonicCore to the latest version. For more information and…

Same, but I mostly deal with lower end units anyway. The 4700 is the first model from the range that comes with redundant components so more like server hardware I guess. But still, the OS should run from memory and storage only used for logging, right?

This has happened at least twice over the years for different DDNS services from what I remember and it usually takes SonicWall quite a long time to release a fix. For my home use, I've moved DDNS functionality to my 5G gateway instead which receives faster updates.

Try iperf2 instead of iperf3 and you might see better results, as iperf3 is single-threaded so you might be hitting your CPU cap before network limits.

I was wrong. Just registering the device and synchronizing licenses does NOT register the storage module and enable it. Years ago I attended a SonicWall webinar where it was recommended to always start through safe mode, upload the desired firmware and boot to factory defaults. This doesn't work with a new appliance that…

Use the packet monitor feature in the firewall to see if the RDP packets are routed correctly and not blocked by policy. Also check in macOS network interface settings that ”Limit IP Address Tracking” isn’t turned on for the used interface. It can cause issues with VPNs.

I think DNS Filtering was introduced in 7.1.1 so I could use any of the those versions as well, I just don't know which one is usable after 7.0.1. The last somewhat stable version I've used with Gen 7 is 7.0.1 5030 which isn't even available for download anymore. Do you know a good 7.1.1 version?
-
Has anyone configured 7.1.2 from scratch and seen the same issues, or hopefully it would work better? I have a new installation that I'll start from defaults and I'd like to possibly try out the new Advanced DNS Filtering feature. That I believe requires 7.1.x.

The early 7.0 versions were unstable and so seem to be the latest 7.1.x versions. The two Gen 7 units I have are running a later 7.0.1 firmware which seems most stable, but I'm a little worried it doesn't have the latest vulnerability fixes. But in most businesses stability goes over security.
