If your ISP provided you with enough IP addresses for all the computers and network devices on your LAN, enable Standard mode.

Configuring Standard Mode

To configure Standard addressing mode, complete the following instructions:

  1. Select Standard from the Network Addressing Mode menu. Because NAT is disabled, you must assign valid IP addresses to all computers and network devices on your LAN.

  2. Enter a unique, valid IP address from your LAN address range in the SonicWALL LAN IP Address field. The SonicWALL LAN IP Address is the address assigned to the SonicWALL LAN and is used for management of the SonicWALL.

  3. Enter your network subnet mask in the LAN Subnet Mask field. The LAN Subnet Mask tells your SonicWALL which IP addresses are on your LAN. The default value, "255.255.255.0", supports up to 254 IP addresses.

  4. Enter your WAN router or default gateway address in the WAN Gateway (Router) Address field. Your router is the device that connects your network to the Internet. If you use Cable or DSL, your WAN router is typically located at your ISP. If you use a router located at your site, use the IP address assigned to it.

  5. Enter your DNS server IP address(es) in the DNS Servers field. The SonicWALL uses the DNS servers for diagnostic tests and for upgrade and registration functionality.

  6. Click Update. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of the browser window. Once the network settings have been updated, the Status bar at the bottom of the browser window displays "Restart SonicWALL for changes to take effect."

Alert! If you change the SonicWALL LAN IP Address, you must to change the Management Station IP address to be in the same subnet as the new LAN IP address.
