The SonicWALL NSA E6500 ships with the internal DHCP server active on the LAN port. However, if a DHCP server is already active on your LAN, the SonicWALL will disable its own DHCP server to prevent conflicts.

As shown in the illustration on this page, ports X1 and X0 are preconfigured as WAN and LAN respectively. The remaining ports (X2-X7) can be configured to meet the needs of your network. In the graphical example on this page, the zones are: X1: WAN, X0: LAN, X2: WLAN, X7: DMZ.

Refer to the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide for advanced configuration deployments.

Testing Your Connection

1.After you exit the Setup Wizard, the login page reappears. Log back into the Management Interface and verify your IP and WAN connection.

2.Ping a site outside of your local network, such as <http://www.sonicwall.com>.

3.Open another Web browser and navigate to: <http://www.sonicwall.com>.

If you can view the SonicWALL home page, you have configured your SonicWALL NSA E6500 correctly.

If you cannot view the SonicWALL home page, renew your management station DHCP address.

4.If you still cannot view a Web page, try one of these solutions:

Restart your Management Station to accept new network settings from the DHCP server in the SonicWALL security appliance.

Restart your Internet Router to communicate with the DHCP Client in the SonicWALL security appliance.
