supported by the new firmware. Likewise, if a new client is used with older firmware, some client 
features may not be functional. For best results, the latest firmware should always be used with 
the latest client.

Only rooted devices are supported for NetExtender Android in SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0.

The rooting requirement is due to limitations and restrictions of the Android platform. A layer

operations without root access, the rooting requirement will remain.

SonicWALL NetExtender is a software application that enables remote users to securely 
connect to the remote network. With NetExtender, remote users can virtually join the remote
