Viewing SonicWALL GAV Status Information
The Gateway Anti-Virus Status section shows the state of the anti-virus signature database,
including the database's timestamp, and the time the SonicWALL signature servers were last
checked for the most current database version. The SonicWALL security appliance automatically
attempts to synchronize the database on startup, and once every hour.
The Gateway Anti-Virus Status section displays the following information:
• Signature Database indicates whether the signature database needs to be downloaded or
has been downloaded.
• Signature Database Timestamp displays the last update to the SonicWALL GAV signature
database, not the last update to your SonicWALL security appliance.
• Last Checked indicates the last time the SonicWALL security appliance checked the
signature database for updates. The SonicWALL security appliance automatically attempts
to synchronize the database on startup, and once every hour.
• Gateway Anti-Virus Expiration Date indicates the date when the SonicWALL GAV service
expires. If your SonicWALL GAV subscription expires, the SonicWALL IPS inspection is
stopped and the SonicWALL GAV configuration settings are removed from the SonicWALL
security appliance. These settings are automatically restored after renewing your
SonicWALL GAV license to the previously configured state.
If your SonicWALL security appliance you are running SonicOS Standard 3.0 and no interfaces are
specified in the Gateway Anti-Virus Global Settings section, the message: Warning: No
interfaces have Gateway Anti-Virus enabled is displayed in the Gateway Anti-Virus Status
section. You must check the Enable Gateway Anti-Virus on Interface and specify the interface(s)
you want to apply anti-virus scanning.
If your SonicWALL security appliance you are using SonicOS Enhanced 3.0, the Gateway
Anti-Virus Status section displays Note: Enable the Gateway Anti-Virus per zone from the
Network > Zones
page. Clicking on the Network > Zones link displays the Network > Zones page
for applying SonicWALL GAV on Zones.
Note: Refer to “Applying SonicWALL GAV Protection on Zones (SonicOS Enhanced 3.0)” on page 26
for instructions on applying SonicWALL GAV protection to zones.
