In the SonicPoint Limit field, select the maximum number of SonicPoints allowed on this interface.
|
|

|
This value determines the highest subnet mask you can enter in the Subnet Mask field. Maximum Number of Subinterfaces Supported by Platform shows the subnet mask limit for each SonicPoint Limit selection and the number of DHCP leases available on the interface if you enter the maximum allowed subnet mask.
|
|
NOTE: The above table depicts the maximum subnet mask sizes allowed. You can still use class-full subnetting (class A, class B, or class C) or any variable length subnet mask that you wish on WLAN interfaces. You are encouraged to use a smaller subnet mask (for example, 24-bit class C: 255.255.255.0 - 254 total usable IPs), thus allocating more IP addressing space to clients if you have the need to support larger numbers of wireless clients.

If you want to enable remote management of the SonicWall security appliance from this interface, select the supported management protocol(s): HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Ping, SNMP, and/or SSH.
|
To allow access to the WAN interface for management from another zone on the same appliance, access rules must be created. See Allowing WAN Primary IP Access from the LAN Zone for more information.
If you want to allow selected users with limited management rights to log in to the security appliance, select HTTP and/or HTTPS in User Login.

If you need to force an Ethernet speed, duplex and/or MAC address, click the Advanced tab. Bandwidth management settings are also configured on the Advanced tab.
The Advanced Settings section allows you to manage the Ethernet settings of links connected to the SonicWall.

|
Auto Negotiate—is selected by default as the Link Speed because the Ethernet links automatically negotiate the speed and duplex mode of the Ethernet connection. If you want to specify the forced Ethernet speed and duplex, select one of the following options from the Link Speed menu:
|
|
•
|
Use Default MAC Address—select this check box to use the default MAC address.
|
|
•
|
Override Default MAC Address—overrides the default MAC address for the Interface, enter the desired MAC address in the field.
|
|
•
|
Enable flow reporting—enables flow reporting for flows created on this interface.
|
|
•
|
Enable Multicast Support—allows multicast reception on this interface.
|
|
•
|
Enable 802.1p tagging ( SonicWall NSA series appliances)—select this check box to tag information passing through this interface with 802.1p priority information for Quality of Service (QoS) management. Packets sent through this interface are tagged with VLAN id=0 and carry 802.1p priority information. In order to make use of this priority information, devices connected to this interface should support priority frames. QoS management is controlled by access rules on the Firewall > Access Rules page. For information on QoS and bandwidth management, see Firewall Settings > QoS Mapping (NSA Series Only).

•
|
Maximum Interface Egress Bandwidth (kbps):—Specifies the available bandwidth for WAN interfaces, in Kbps.
|
|
•
|
Enable Interface Ingress Bandwidth Limitation—Enables inbound bandwidth management.
|
|
•
|
Maximum Interface Ingress Bandwidth (kbps):—Specifies the available bandwidth for WAN interfaces, in Kbps
|
