Dear Fellow,<br />
<br />
Since i switched from fortigate to sonicwall i having and issue in categorising device types. In fortiagte its easy to setup policy to certain type of devices. <br />
<br />
For example and I can create a allow policies for certain devices such as Apple for products or Android Products.<br />
<br />
Is there anything available option in Sonicwall NSA to allow android phones? Or is there any way to create a policy only for mobile phones.<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />
<br />

Device category in Sonicwall

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

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
