SonicWALL GMS Gateway Recommendations
A GMS gateway is a SonicWALL firewall appliance that allows for secure communication
between the SonicWALL GMS server and the managed appliance(s), using VPN
tunnels.
A GMS gateway is not required in all deployment scenarios, but when deployed, the
GMS gateway must be a SonicWALL VPN-based network security appliance running
SonicOS Enhanced firmware or another VPN device that is interoperable with
SonicWALL VPN. The GMS gateway provides a VPN management tunnel for each
managed appliance. The number of management tunnels depends on the number of
VPNs supported by the GMS gateway appliance and may be a limiting factor.
For complete information about SonicWALL GMS management methods and
requirements for a GMS Gateway, see the GMS Gateway Requirements section in the
SonicWALL GMS Administrator’s Guide, available on:
