2025/2026 Complete Questions And Correct
Answers (Verified Answers)|Already Graded A+
Introduction
This practice examination mirrors the scope, difficulty and 2025/2026 feature set of the
SonicWall Network Security Administrator (SNSA) 7 certification test.
Domains covered include firewall policy design, security-service configuration (IPS,
anti-malware, content filtering), site-to-site & remote-access VPN, threat analytics,
SonicOS management, deployment troubleshooting, HA & logging.
All items are original and aligned with SonicOS 7.0.5, Gen-7 hardware, Capture ATP
cloud and 2025 UI changes to support mastery-level performance on the 60-question
computer-based exam.
General Instructions
• Choose the ONE best answer for each scenario.
• Total: 60 questions (all scored).
• Reference: SonicOS 7.0.5 Admin Guide, SonicWall VPN Admin Guide, Capture ATP
Tech Note, Gen-7 Hardware Guide.
• Passing scaled score: 80 % (≥48/60).
Questions
Question 1
A Gen-7 NSA 4700 running SonicOS 7.0.5 is deployed in gateway mode. During initial
setup the wizard prompts for the default LAN subnet. Which subnet is pre-filled by the
factory wizard in 2025?
A. 192.168.0.0/24
B. 192.168.1.0/24
C. 10.0.0.0/24
D. 172.16.0.0/24
Answer: B. 192.168.1.0/24
Solution: The 2025 first-time wizard still defaults to 192.168.1.0/24 for LAN (X0). All
other choices are valid RFC-1918 ranges but are not the factory default.
,Question 2
An administrator wants to apply multi-gig (5 Gb/s) on port X24 of NSA 6700. Which
transceiver type is supported in SonicOS 7.0.5?
A. SFP+ 10 Gb DAC
B. SFP+ 1 Gb copper
C. SFP28 25 Gb
D. SFP28 5 Gb multi-rate
Answer: D. SFP28 5 Gb multi-rate
Solution: Gen-7 multi-gig ports (X24-X25) accept SFP28 5 Gb multi-rate transceivers;
SFP+ caps at 10 Gb and SFP28 25 Gb is not auto-negotiated down to 5 Gb.
Question 3
An IPS policy is configured with “Prevent” action. Which statement is true when a
matching signature fires?
A. Packet is logged and forwarded
B. Session is reset only
C. Packet is dropped and logged
D. Packet is Rate-Limited
Answer: C. Packet is dropped and logged
Solution: Prevent = drop + log; Detect = log + forward; Reset sends TCP-RST but still
forwards the trigger packet.
Question 4
Under SonicOS 7.0.5 the Capture ATP cloud sandbox supports files up to:
A. 50 MB
B. 100 MB
C. 200 MB
D. 1 GB
Answer: C. 200 MB
Solution: 2025 Capture ATP cloud sandbox raised the limit to 200 MB per file
(previously 100 MB). Larger files are locally verdicted by RTDMI.
Question 5
An admin enables “Block QUIC” in the Content Filtering Service. Which port is
primarily affected?
A. TCP 443
B. UDP 443
, C. TCP 80
D. UDP 53
Answer: B. UDP 443
Solution: QUIC defaults to UDP 443; blocking it does not affect standard HTTPS (TCP
443).
Question 6
When configuring SonicWall VPN Client (NetExtender) SSL-VPN, the default SSL-VPN
port in SonicOS 7.0.5 is:
A. TCP 4433
B. TCP 4433
C. UDP 443
D. TCP 443
Answer: D. TCP 443
Solution: Factory default for SSL-VPN is TCP 443 (shared with HTTPS management but
separated by virtual-host rule). 4433 is an optional alternate.
Question 7
An HA pair shows “Split-Brain” alarm. Which log entry would confirm the issue?
A. “HA heartbeat lost on both HA links”
B. “HA sync completed successfully”
C. “Primary unit reboot scheduled”
D. “Secondary unit promoted”
Answer: A. “HA heartbeat lost on both HA links”
Solution: Loss of heartbeat on both HA data paths indicates split-brain; other
messages are normal operations or unrelated.
Question 8
An administrator sees “Geo-IP Filter block” for Russia on traffic destined to 1.1.1.1.
The source IP is 192.168.1.50. The most likely reason is:
A. 1.1.1.1 is mapped to Russia in the Geo-IP DB
B. 192.168.1.50 is spoofed as Russian
C. DNS response points to Russian CDN
D. NAT policy uses Russian pool
Answer: C. DNS response points to Russian CDN
Solution: Geo-IP filters destination; 1.1.1.1 itself is US, but CDN aliases in DNS replies
may resolve to Russian IPs → block triggers.
