SonicWALL configuration (Firewall + Services)

This document will go over how to configure your SonicWALL for use with the SingleComm platform.

1. Address object configuration: 

You'll want to configure an address object for the SingleComm domain ($yourcompanyname.singlecomm.com).

The domain name will be configured once you get onboarded as a client with us.

To configure the domain name object, go to the "Network" tab and then the "Address object" subheading.

You'll see a list of default objects and object groups (will go through later).

Scroll down and hit "Add" under the Address objects table.

Then give the object a friendly name and then set it to the WAN zone.

After that, enter the FQDN that you will be using to connect to SingleComm and then hit "OK".

NOTE: Repeat this for all the SingleComm FQDN's that you'll be connecting to.

There is a table at the bottom of this page you can use as a reference.

2. Address object group configuration: 

SonicWALL's can add multiple singular address objects to an overarching group.

That way you don't have to reference all the specific objects in your firewall rules..just the group.

To do this, scroll up on the address object page and hit "Add Group".

This will take you to the following window:

Give your group a name and then choose what objects you want in the group from the list on the left (this will be the names of the objects you created in step 1.

Hit "OK" and confirm the group shows up in that table.

3. Service object/group configuration: 

Now you'll need to configure the traffic that you want to allow from/to those objects.

Head over to the "Services" section on the firewall:

This follows the same pattern as the object creation (create a singular object for each service, add those objects to an overarching group)...the services that you'll need to allow are in the table at the bottom of this document.

Above shows how to add the individual services to the service group. Just add all the services you configured to this group and you're good to go.

Now we can configure the firewall rules to allow the traffic inbound/outbound to our infrastructure.

4. Firewall rules configuration: 

You'll want to create 2 firewall rules. One will be for inbound traffic and one will be for outbound traffic.

The above shows the inbound rule. This says "From the internet to me, allow any connection that's on the SingleComm service group.

You'll basically copy this rule and change the WAN > LAN portion to LAN > WAN for outbound connections.

Let us know if you need help with this part and we can walk you through it.

That's it! You're now ready to make calls on our platform

The table below can be used as a reference to all the ports/FQDN's that you'll need to create rules/objects for.
