Navigation Tabs
The SonicWALL GMS management interface navigation tabs are located at the top of the
management interface.
The seven navigation tabs are Dashboard, Firewall, SRA, CDP, ES, Monitor, and
Console. The Monitor tab provides real-time monitoring at the global, group or
appliance level. The Console tab provides tools to customize options found in the other
SonicWALL GMS tabs and to manage SonicWALL GMS settings that affect the
environment globally.
Left Pane
The left pane of the SonicWALL GMS management interface
provides a tree control that displays the current GMS view and a
list of managed appliances within the current tab. The left pane
is only displayed for the four appliance tabs:
Firewall, SRA, CDP and ES. The current category and view are
indicated by a blue highlighting.
The left pane tree control provides the ability to switch between
views and displays the current state of each appliance under
management. A single box in the tree control indicates a node
at appliance or unit level. Two boxes in the tree control indicates
a node at a group level. A global node at the top of the tree
control is indicated by a three-box icon. The color and additional
images superimposed on these icons provide useful status information. For detailed
information about appliance states, refer to “Right Pane” on page 38.
Note: If there is only one appliance visible in the Left Pane, then the Left Pane will
automatically collapse to present a larger screen for the rest of the UI.

The center pane displays for the four appliance tabs: Firewall, SRA,
CDP, and ES. A navigational tree control that provides access to the
configuration options available based on navigational tab and left
pane selections. At the top of the Center pane there are two sub-tabs,
Policies and Reports. The Policies sub-tab provides policy
configuration options for managed appliances. The Reports sub-tab
provides reporting on the global, group, or appliance level, and is only
available for Firewall, SRA, and CDP.
