Routes

If you have routers on your Local Area Network (LAN), Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), or Wide Area Network (WAN), you can configure Static Routes on the SonicWALL.

Tip On the TELE3 TZ and TELE3 TZX, the LAN is labeled WorkPort and the DMZ is labeled HomePort.

Click Advanced on the left side of the browser window, and then click the Routes tab.

Static routes must be defined if the LAN, DMZ, or WAN are segmented into subnets, either for size or practical considerations. For example, a subnet can be created to isolate a section of a company, such as finance, from traffic on the rest of the LAN, DMZ, or WAN.

The SonicWALL LAN IP Address, LAN Subnet, WAN IP Address, and WAN/DMZ Subnet are displayed in the Current Network Settings section. Refer to these settings when configuring your Static Routes.The SonicWALL LAN IP Address, LAN Subnet Mask, WAN IP Address and WAN/DMZ Subnet Mask are displayed in the Current Network Settings section. .

To add Static Route entries, complete the following instructions:

1.Enter the destination network of the static route in the Dest. Network field. The destination network is the IP address subnet of the remote network segment.

Tip If the destination network uses IP addresses ranging from "192.168.1.1" to "192.168.1.255", enter "192.168.1.0" in the Dest. Network field.

2.Enter the subnet mask of the remote network segment in the Subnet mask field.

3.Enter the IP address of your router in the Gateway field. This IP address should be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL. If your router is located on the SonicWALL LAN, the Gateway address should be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL LAN IP Address.

4.Select the port on the SonicWALL that the router is connected to either the LAN, the WAN, or the DMZ, from the Link list.

5.Click Update. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of the Web browser window. Restart the SonicWALL for the change to take effect.

Tip The SonicWALL can support up to 128 static route entries.

Internet Security Appliances specifications

SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances are pivotal solutions aimed at safeguarding networks from an ever-evolving array of cyber threats. Designed for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprises, these appliances deliver robust security and high-performance capabilities.

One of the main features of SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances is their Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionality. This integrated approach allows organizations to manage multiple security measures, including firewall protection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and antivirus capabilities, within a single device. This consolidation simplifies security management and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities from disparate systems.

Another significant technology found in these appliances is Application Control. This feature enables administrators to monitor and regulate the applications and services used within their networks, ensuring that bandwidth is allocated efficiently, and potentially harmful applications are blocked. Coupled with Content Filtering, SonicWALL offers granular policies to restrict access to inappropriate or non-work-related content, enhancing overall productivity while maintaining security.

SonicWALL appliances also utilize advanced cybersecurity technologies like SonicWall Capture Threat Assessment and Capture Advanced Threat Protection. These solutions leverage artificial intelligence to identify and remove sophisticated malware and ransomware threats before they infiltrate the network. This proactive approach ensures that only safe email and web traffic is allowed through, providing comprehensive protection against advanced persistent threats.

Moreover, SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) enables centralized control over multiple security devices, making it easy for IT teams to maintain a consistent security posture across various locations. This capability is especially beneficial for organizations with distributed networks, as it provides real-time visibility into network activity and security incidents.

The appliances are also designed with scalability in mind. Whether an organization grows or needs to adjust its security policies, SonicWALL appliances can be updated, expanded, or modified without significant disruptions. This flexibility makes them a long-term investment for any business focused on network security.

In addition, SonicWALL's user-friendly interface simplifies the deployment and management processes. With intuitive dashboards and reporting tools, administrators can easily track security events, analyze network traffic patterns, and respond swiftly to potential threats.

In summary, SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances combine essential features like Unified Threat Management, Application Control, and advanced threat protection technologies into a cohesive security solution. Their scalability, centralized management capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces make them an excellent choice for businesses aiming to strengthen their cyber defenses in a complex digital landscape.
