How do I set SonicWall to transparent mode?

To configure an interface for transparent mode:

Click on the Configure icon in the Configure column for the Unassigned Interface you want to configure.
Select an interface.
Select Transparent IP Mode (Spice L3 Subnet) from the Mode / IP Assignment drop-down menu.

How does SonicWall Transparent Mode work?

Transparent Mode addressing allows for the WAN subnetwork to be shared by the current interface using Address Object assignments. The interface’s IP address is the same as the WAN interface IP address. Transparent mode is available on interfaces assigned to Trusted and Public Zones.

What is PortShield in SonicWall?

PortShield architecture enables you to configure some or all of the LAN ports into separate security contexts, providing protection not only from the WAN and DMZ, but between devices inside your network as well.

What is SonicWall wire mode?

Wire Mode is a deployment option where the SonicWall appliance can be deployed as a Bump in the Wire. It provides a least-intrusive way to deploy the appliance in a network. Wire Mode is very well suited for deploying behind a pre-existing Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall.

What is IPv6 transparent mode?

In transparent mode, the SRX Series device filters packets that traverse the device without modifying any of the source or destination information in the packet MAC headers. In this release, IPv6 traffic is supported for transparent mode on the specified SRX Series devices. …

How do I set SonicWall High Availability?

To configure High Availability on the Primary SonicWall, perform the following steps:

Login to the SonicWall management Interface.
Click Device in the top navigation menu.
Navigate to High Availability | Settings.
Configure the Mode as “Active / Standby”.
Check “Enable Stateful Synchronization”.

What is Layer 2 bridge mode?

L2 Bridge Mode is ostensibly similar to SonicOS Enhanced Transparent Mode in that it enables a SonicWall security appliance to share a common subnet across two interfaces, and to perform Stateful and deep-packet inspection on all traversing IP traffic, but it is functionally more versatile.

What is wire mode?

Overview of Wire Mode The Wire Mode improves connectivity by allowing existing connections to fail over successfully by bypassing firewall enforcement. Traffic within a VPN community is, by definition, private and secure. The VPN connection is no different from any other connection along a dedicated wire.

What is Native bridge mode?

DESCRIPTION: SonicOS 6.5 introduces Native Bridge Mode to support multiple bridges between the WLAN and other zones, and allows the WAN zone to be a native bridge host for bridging traffic to other zones. The network device bridges the packets from one host to another.

What does transparent mode do for SonicWall security?

Transparent Mode enables the SonicWall security appliance to bridge the WAN subnet onto an internal interface. It requires valid IP addresses for all computers connected to the interface in Transparent Mode on your network, but allows remote access to authenticated users.

How to add a subnet to SonicWALL?

Login to the SonicWall management interface. Navigate to the Network | ARP page and click ADD. IP Address: 2.2.2.1 (specify an IP address from the additional subnet). Interface: WAN / X1 (because the additional subnet resides on the WAN interface).

How to configure multiple WAN subnets using static ARP?

One solution is to have the ISP configure upstream routing to point these subnets to the fixed IP address of the primary or secondary WAN interfaces of the SonicWall. An alternative is to configure static ARP and routing on the SonicWall to respond to a second IP subnet.

How is an IP address assigned in transparent mode?

Transparent Mode – The IP address (es) for the interface is assigned using an Address Object (Host, Range, or Group) that falls within the WAN Primary IP subnet, effectively spanning the subnet from the WAN interface to the assigned interface.
