SonicPoint Overview
To accommodate the need to integrate SonicPoints into existing networks where SonicPoints would
be installed on the same physical segment as existing wired nodes, administrator control has been
provided over the application of SonicPoint enforcement. By default, this option is enabled, providing
the same behavior as previous SonicOS releases. Deselecting this option allows for all the interfaces
in that Wireless Zone to accept either SonicPoint-sourced traffic, as well as traffic sourced from any
other host. Packets will continue to be tagged as they pass through the SonicPoint.
Providing the ability to allow traffic from another device is a new feature that gives you great flexibility
because:
To configure this option, perform the following steps:
1
Log into the SonicWALL security device that is managing the SonicPoint device.
2
Go to the Zones page under the Network > Zones location.
3
In the WLAN Zone, click on the Configure icon. SonicOS displays the Configure dialog box.
4
Click on the Wireless tab. By default, the Only allow traffic generated by a SonicPoint checkbox is
enabled.
