I am also a sonicwall guy. I know there are Cisco commands to list out the configuration of everything and there are Cisco guys here that can explain them. Once that happens il be happy to help you implement them in sonicwall land. Until then...I'm not much help.

Hi guys ....<br />
<br />
i am not Cisco trained and am tired of not being able to administer our Cisco 2911 Firewall. With this in mind i am changing to a Sonicwall NSA 2400, which has a much more user friendly interface if you aren't Cisco CLI trained. <br />
<br />
This is for a small office with less than 60 users, with 1 router and 1 firewall.<br />
We have a few VPNs set up, and some fairly basic rules.<br />
<br />
I'm after some advice and\or best practices for a smooth changeover. Is there a way of importing the Cisco running config, or am i best building the NSA 2400 from the ground up? Are there any pitfalls i need to look out for?<br />
<br />
Please don't advise me against the NSA 2400, the purchase has already been made, hehe.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
