Page 22 Initial Setup
Connecting to Your Network
The SonicWALL NSA 2400 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.
Ports X1 and X0 are preconfigured as WAN and LAN. The
remaining ports (X2-X5) can be configured to meet the needs of
your network. As an example, zones in the example above are
configured as:
•
X1: WAN
• X2: LAN
• X3: WLAN
• X5: DMZ
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 host on the Internet, such as 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 appliance 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.
Activating Licenses in SonicOS
After completing the registration process in SonicOS, you must
perform the following tasks to activate your licenses and enable
your licensed services from within the SonicOS user interface:
• Activate licenses
• Enable security services
• Apply services to network zones
