Configuring the Network Interface
Each SonicWave or group of SonicWaves must be connected to
a physical network interface that is configured in a wireless
zone. SonicOS provides a standard wireless zone (WLAN) which
can be applied to any available interface.
To configure the network interface in SonicOS:
1 Log into SonicOS as an administrator (default: admin /
password).
2 In the MANAGE view, navigate to the System Setup |
Network > Interfaces page and click Configure for the
interface to which your SonicWave is connected.
3 Select Static IP Mode for the Mode/IP Assignment.
4 In the IP Address field, type in any private IP address
that does not interfere with the IP address range of any
other interfaces on the appliance.
5 Enter a Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0.
6 Use the default settings or select appropriate settings
for the other fields and then click OK.
CAUTION: Allowing Management and User Login to the
appliance from a wireless zone can pose a security threat
if you or your users have not set strong passwords.
