Configuring the network interface
Each SonicPoint or group of SonicPoints must be connected to
a physical network interface that is configured in a wireless
zone. SonicOS provides a standard wireless zone (WLAN) which
can be applied to any available interface.
To configure the network interface in SonicOS
1 Navigate to the Network > Interfaces page and click
Configure for the interface to which your SonicPoint is
connected.
2 Select WLAN zone for the Zone type.
3 Select Static IP Mode for the Mode/IP Assignment.
4 In the IP Address field, type in any private IP address
that does not interfere with the IP address range of any
other interfaces on the appliance.
5 Enter a Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0.
6 Use the default settings or select appropriate settings
for the other fields and then click OK.

Allowing Management and User Login to the
appliance from a wireless zone can pose a security
threat, especially if you or your users have not set
strong passwords.
