Configuring the Advanced Tab for the WAN Interface
The Advanced page includes settings for forcing an Ethernet speed and duplex, overriding the Default
MAC Address, setting up bandwidth management, and creating a default NAT policy automatically.
Ethernet Settings
If you need to force an Ethernet speed, duplex and/or MAC address, click the Advanced tab. The
Ethernet Settings section allows you to manage the Ethernet settings of links connected to the
SonicWALL. Auto Negotiate is selected by default as the Link Speed because the Ethernet links
automatically negotiate the speed and duplex mode of the Ethernet connection. If you want to specify the

• 100 Mbps - Full Duplex
• 100 Mbps - Half Duplex
• 10 Mbps - Full Duplex
• 10 Mbps - Half Duplex
