Managing SonicPoints in Managed Mode
Selecting Variable Numbers of SonicPoint Access Points
SonicOS 3.1 Enhanced supports the selection of a variable number of SonicPoint access points.
Previously you could only set Class C or greater networks on your submit. SonicPoint access points.
Now you can select four different amounts. This provides you with the flexibility to create a
subnetwork that is appropriate for the amount of devices you have.
The undiscriminating addressing requirement sometimes proved unnecessary or disruptive.
To configure a number of SonicPoint access points, perform the following steps:
1
Log into the SonicWALL security appliance that is managing the SonicPoint device.
2
Go to the Interfaces page under the Network > Interfaces location.
3
Click on the Configure icon of the WLAN interface. SonicOS displays the Configure screen.
4
Make sure the Zone listbox has the WLAN zone selected.
5
You can provide any subnet mask size you want. Previously, you could only configure subnet
masks in the range of 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.255.255.
