Connecting Computers to Your SonicWALL PRO 1260
You can attach up to 25 computers to your SonicWALL PRO 1260.
Connect computers and other network clients in you LAN to the ports labeled

If you are using a DHCP server on your LAN, you need to configure the computers to
accept dynamic network settings.
If you are not using DHCP on your LAN, you need to configure the computers with a
static IP address in the same subnet as the LAN IP address on your
SonicWALL PRO 1260.
For instructions on configuring the network settings for most Windows computers, see
“Configuring Computers for Your LAN” on page 20.
You can use SonicWALL PortShield
TM
interfaces to partition ports 2 through 24 into
multiple interfaces, which you can protect with unique security policies. Instructions on
configuring PortShield interfaces, see the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide.
You can set up your
OPT
as a second WAN port for load balancing and failover in case
one internet connection fails. For instructions on configuring the
