Page 50 Deploying SonicPoints for Wireless Access
Assigning an Interface to the Wireless Zone
Once the wireless zone is configured, you can assign an
interface to it. This is the interface where you will connect the
SonicPoint.
1. On the Network > Interfaces page, click the Configure
icon in the row for the interface that you want to use, for
example, X3. The interface must be unassigned.
2. In the Edit Interface dialog box on the General tab, select
WLAN or the zone that you created from the Zone drop-
down list. Additional fields are displayed.
3. Enter the IP address and subnet mask of the Zone in the IP
Address and Subnet Mask fields.
4. In the SonicPoint Limit field, select the maximum number
of SonicPoints allowed on this interface.
5. If you want to enable remote management of the
SonicWALL security appliance from this interface, select
the supported management protocol(s):
HTTP , HTTPS ,
SSH , Ping , SNMP , and/or SSH .
6. If you want to allow selected users with limited
management rights to log in to the security appliance,
select
HTTP and/or HTTPS in User Login .
7. Click OK .
Connecting the SonicPoint
When a SonicPoint unit is first connected and powered up, it
will have a factory default configuration (IP Address
192.168.1.20, username:
admin , password: password ). Upon
initializing, it will attempt to find a SonicOS device with which to
peer. If it is unable to find a peer SonicOS device, it will enter
into a stand-alone mode of operation with a separate stand-
alone configuration allowing it to operate as a standard Access
Point.
If the SonicPoint locates a peer SonicOS device via the
SonicWALL Discovery Protocol, the two units perform an
encrypted exchange and the profile assigned to the relevant
wireless zone is used to automatically configure (provision) the
newly added SonicPoint unit.
As part of the provisioning process, SonicOS assigns the
discovered SonicPoint device a unique name, records the
SonicPoint’s MAC address and the interface and zone on which
it was discovered, and uses the profile associated with the
relevant zone to configure the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio settings.
It can also automatically assign the SonicPoint an IP address, if
so configured, so that the SonicPoint can communicate with an
authentication server for WPA-EAP support.
