Internet Connectivity Using the Setup Wizard

The first time you log into the SonicWALL, the Setup Wizard is launched automatically. To launch the Setup Wizard at any from the Management Interface, log into the SonicWALL. Click Wizards and select Setup Wizard.

¸

Tip: You can also configure all your WAN and network settings on the Network > Settings page of the SonicWALL Management Interface

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard helps you configure the following settings:

Wireless deployment scenario (TZ 170 Wireless and TZ 170 SP Wireless)
Modem settings (TZ 170 SP and TZ 170 SP Wireless)
WAN networking mode and WAN network configuration (All SonicWALL security appliances)
LAN network configuration
WLAN network configuration (TZ 170 Wireless and TZ 170 SP Wireless)
WiFiSec secure wireless connectivity settings (TZ 170 Wireless and TZ 170 SP Wireless)
Wireless Guest Services (TZ 170 Wireless and TZ 170 SP Wireless)

The Setup Wizard screens change depending on the choices you make. For example, if you choose Guest Internet Gateway, The Setup Wizard will display the screens for Modem, WAN, WLAN, and Wireless Guest Services setup. It will not display the screens for LAN and WiFiSec setup, because they do not apply in a Guest Internet Gateway deployment.

Wireless Deployment Scenarios

If you are setting up a TZ 170 Wireless and TZ 170 SP Wireless, the Setup Wizard provides the following four wireless deployment scenarios:

Office Gateway - Provides secure access for wired and wireless users on your network.

Secure Access Point - Add secure wireless access to an existing wireless network.

Guest Internet Gateway - Provide guests controlled wireless access to the Internet only.

Secure Wireless Bridge - Operate in wireless bridge mode to securely bridge two networks with WiFiSec.

Configuring a Static IP Address with NAT Enabled

Using NAT to set up your SonicWALL eliminates the need for public IP addresses for all computers on your LAN. It is a way to conserve IP addresses available from the pool of IPv4 addresses for the Internet. NAT also allows you to conceal the addressing scheme of your network. If you do not have enough individual IP addresses for all computers on your network, you can use NAT for your network configuration.

Essentially, NAT translates the IP addresses in one network into those for a different network. As a form of packet filtering for firewalls, it protects a network from outside intrusion from hackers by replacing the internal (LAN) IP address on packets passing through a SonicWALL with a "fake" one from a fixed pool of addresses. The actual IP addresses of computers on the LAN are hidden from outside view.

This section describes configuring the SonicWALL appliance in the NAT mode. If you are assigned a single IP address by your ISP, follow the instructions below.

¸:

Tip: Be sure to have your network information including your WAN IP address, subnet mask, and DNS settings ready. This information is obtained from your ISP.

Start the Setup Wizard

Note:  Your Web browser must be Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads in order to fully manage SonicWALL. Internet Explorer 5.0 and above as well as Netscape Navigator 4.0 and above meet these criteria.

Click the Setup Wizard button on the Network > Settings page. Read the instructions on the Welcome window and click Next to continue.

Configuring DHCP Networking Mode

DHCP is a networking mode that allows you to obtain an IP address for a specific length of time from a DHCP server. The length of time is called a lease which is renewed by the DHCP server typically after a few days. When the lease is ready to expire, the client contacts the server to renew the lease. This is a common network configuration for customers with cable or DSL modems. You are not assigned a specific IP address by your ISP.

Click the Setup Wizard button on the Network > Settings page.
