What should you ensure regarding the FQDN and NAT configuration?

Ensuring that the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) matches the NAT IP is crucial for proper routing and accessibility of services. When the FQDN is aligned with the NAT configuration, it helps ensure that users can smoothly access the SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) services in a reliable manner.

When the NAT IP and FQDN are consistent, it assists in eliminating potential connectivity issues, as users expect to reach a particular domain name which resolves to a specific IP address. This setup simplifies the resolution process, allowing for seamless remote access and reducing complications that could arise from mismatched configurations.

A proper NAT configuration means that traffic going to the FQDN is being translated correctly to the corresponding internal resources. This alignment is essential for both performance and security, as discrepancies could lead to traffic misrouting and potential vulnerabilities. An accurate configuration supports user trust and operational integrity for any access needed to network resources, making the match between FQDN and NAT IP a best practice in network administration.
