SonicWall - First Time Setup

In this video, I go over how to set up a SonicWall device for the first time.  I use a TZ270 in this video, but the steps can apply to almost any new TZ or NSA series SonicWall.

I cover the registration and setup basics, as well as the typical baseline configuration I use.  This includes security services, zones, network settings, and device-specific admin settings.
