Which local network resource is selected by default in the SonicWall firewall when connecting with the VPN?

When connecting to a VPN through a SonicWall firewall, the default selection of "Firewall Subnets" allows users to access the various local network segments that are protected by the firewall. This selection typically provides connectivity to resources such as internal servers and workstations that reside within those subnets.

Choosing "Firewall Subnets" as the default option is crucial because, in a VPN scenario, users often need to communicate with devices that are within these defined subnets securely. By ensuring that this selection is default, SonicWall optimizes the VPN configuration for easier access to the most commonly required resources, allowing for seamless integration into the organization's network environment without requiring additional manual configurations.

The other choices, while relevant to network configurations, do not specifically pertain to the default settings for resource access in a VPN context. For example, "Local Network Segments" could refer to segments within the network but does not specifically designate the default choice for VPN connections. Similarly, "Public IP Address" and "Remote Access Connections" do not efficiently accommodate local resource accessibility as the firewall subnets do. Thus, the selection of "Firewall Subnets" supports effective network management and security practices when users connect via VPN.
