 Not much more help than the user's guide August 16, 2006

Did not provide enough detail for novices using a firewall. Probably due to the book's coverage of the entire Sonicwall line. Screen captures and step-by-step sections did not match up with my TZ170's settings for VPN set up. In addition, some options were not discussed at all. I have experience with a couple other firewalls so I was able to get the VPN working. This book has proven to be of little value.
Good with a few exceptions June 26, 2006

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.
