Does the sonicwall have any IPS features? Perhaps it is detecting the portscan/vulnerability scan and blocking the nessus server.

Hello and thank you for your reply. I do not believe the hosts have crashed because they are being tested in a live environment consisting of site-to-site vpn associations that are not being disrupted during the testing. If one of the sonicwalls being tested were to crash, it would have to be manually rebooted and that would cause an outage. I am able to pass traffic through them for the duration of a test. They are all late models with current firmware. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George A.

I don't have any direct experience with Sonicwalls, but looking back through the list archives shows the devices have not proven very robust when portscanned with Nessus or nmap in the past. Are you using an older device?
