Page 22 An Introduction to Zones and Interfaces
An Introduction to Zones and Interfaces
Zones split a network infrastructure into logical areas, each with
its own set of usage rules, security services, and policies. Most
networks include multiple definitions for zones, including those
for trusted, untrusted, public, encrypted, and wireless traffic.
Some basic (default) zone types include:
WAN—Untrusted resources outside your local network.
LAN—Trusted local network resources.f
WLAN—Local wireless network resources originating from
SonicWALL wireless enabled appliances.
DMZ—Local network assets that must be accessible from the
WAN zone (such as Web and FTP servers).
VPN—Trusted endpoints in an otherwise untrusted zone, such
as the WAN.
The security features and settings that zones carry are
enforced by binding a zone to one or more physical interfaces
(such as, X0, X1, or X2) on the SonicWALL TZ 210 series
appliance.
The X1 and X0 interfaces are preconfigured as WAN and LAN
respectively. The remaining ports (X2-X6) are also LAN ports by
default, however, these ports can be configured to meet the
needs of your network, either by using basic zone types (WAN,
LAN, WLAN, DMZ, VPN) or configuring a custom zone type to
fit your network requirements (Gaming Console Zone, Wireless
Printer Zone, Wireless Ticket Scanner Zone, and more).

SonicWALL Wireless Firewalling
When a wireless device uses an access point to communicate
with a device on another subnet or on a completely different
network, traffic between the devices is forced to traverse the
network gateway. This traversal enables Unified Threat
Management (UTM) services to be enforced at the gateway.
Standard practice for wireless firewalling (where one wireless
client is communicating with another) bypasses many of the
critical UTM security services. The illustration below shows the
standard practice for wireless firewalling.
Many security products on the market share this potential
vulnerability when two users connected by a common hub or
wireless access point wish to exchange data.
SonicWALL addresses this security shortcoming by managing
the SonicPoint access points from the UTM appliance. This
allows complete control of the wireless space, including zone
enforcement of security services and complete firewalling
capabilities, as shown in the illustration below.

Configuring Interfaces
Interfaces, also known as ports, are physical network
connections that can be configured to provide different
networking and security features based on your network needs.
Note: For more information on Zone types, see “An
Introduction to Zones and Interfaces” on page 22.
This section contains the following sub-sections:
Configuring an Interface - page 24
PortShield Wizard - page 25
Manual PortShield Configuration - page 26
Configuring an Interface
The SonicOS Enhanced Web-based management interface
allows you to configure each individual Ethernet port (from X2-
X6) with its own security settings through the use of zones.
To configure a network interface:
1. In the Network > Interfaces panel, click the Configure
button for the interface you wish to configure. The Edit
Interface window displays.
Note: If only X0 and X1 interfaces are displayed in the
Interfaces list, click the Show PortShield Interfaces
button to show all interfaces.
2. Select a Zone Type for this interface.
3. Select an IP assignment for this interface. If you intend to
create a new network segment on this interface such as a
DMZ or secondary LAN, this value should be set to Static.
4. Enter a static IP Address for the interface. For private and
semi-private network segments, any private static IP
address such as 10.10.20.1 is appropriate. Ensure that the
static IP address you choose does not conflict with any
currently existing interfaces. The newly created interface
appears in the Interfaces list. You may now connect the
appropriate network resources to this interface.

Creating Network Access Rules
A Zone is a logical grouping of one or more interfaces designed
to make management a simpler and more intuitive process than
following a strict physical interface scheme.
By default, the SonicWALL security appliance’s stateful packet
inspection allows all communication from the LAN to the
Internet, and blocks all traffic from the Internet to the LAN. The
following behaviors are defined by the “Default” stateful
inspection packet access rule enabled in the SonicWALL
security appliance:
To create an access rule:
1. On the Firewall > Access Rules page in the matrix view,
select two zones that will be bridged by this new rule.
2. On the Access Rules page, click Add.
The access rules are sorted from the most specific to the
least specific at the bottom of the table. At the bottom of the
table is the Any rule.
Note: SonicWALL’s default firewall rules are set in this way
for ease of initial configuration, but do not reflect best
practice installations. Firewall rules should only allow
the required traffic and deny all other traffic.

access rule for the opposite direction, that is, from your
destination back to your source.
7. Click on the QoS tab to apply DSCP marking to traffic
governed by this rule.
8. Click OK to add the rule.
Address Objects
Address Objects are one of four object classes (Address, User,
Service, and Schedule) in SonicOS Enhanced. Once you define
an Address Object, it becomes available for use wherever
applicable throughout the SonicOS management interface. For
example, consider an internal Web server with an IP address of
67.115.118.80.
Rather than repeatedly typing in the IP address when
constructing Access Rules or NAT policies, you can create an
Address Object to store the Web server’s IP address. This
Address Object, “My Web Server,” can then be used in any
configuration screen that employs Address Objects as a
defining criterion.
Available Address Object types include the following:
Host – Define a single host by its IP address.
Range – Define a range of contiguous IP addresses.
Network – Network Address Objects are like Range
objects in that they comprise multiple hosts, but rather than
being bound by specified upper and lower range delimiters,
the boundaries are defined by a valid netmask.
MAC Address – Allows for the identification of a host by its
hardware address.
FQDN Address – Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN)
Address Objects allow for the identification of a host by its
domain name, such as www.sonicwall.com.
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 29 Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:41 PM
Page 30 Address Objects
Tip: SonicOS Enhanced provides a number of default
Address Objects that cannot be modified or deleted.
You can use the default Address Objects when creating
a NAT policy, or you can create custom Address
Objects to use. All Address Objects are available in the
drop-down lists when creating a NAT policy.
Creating an Address Object
The Network > Address Objects page allows you to create
and manage your Address Objects. You can view Address
Objects in the following ways using the View Style menu:
All Address Objects – displays all configured Address
Objects.
Custom Address Objects displays Address Objects
with custom properties.
Default Address Objects – displays Address Objects
configured by default on the SonicWALL security
appliance.
To add an Address Object:
1. Navigate to the Network > Address Objects page.
2. Below the Address Objects table, click Add.
3. In the Add Address Object dialog box, enter a name for
the Address Object in the Name field.
4. Select the zone to assign to the Address Object from the
Zone Assignment drop-down list.
5. Select Host, Range, Network, MAC, or FQDN from the
Type menu.
-For Host, enter the IP address in the IP Address field.
-For Range, enter the starting and ending IP addresses
in the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address
fields.
-For Network, enter the network IP address and
netmask in the Network and Netmask fields.
-For MAC, enter the MAC address in the MAC Address
field.
-For FQDN, enter the domain name for the individual
site or range of sites (with a wildcard) in the FQDN
field.
6. Click OK.

SonicWALL TZ 210 Series Getting Started Guide Page 31
Network Address Translation
The Network Address Translation (NAT) engine in SonicOS
Enhanced allows users to define granular NAT policies for their
incoming and outgoing traffic. By default, the SonicWALL
security appliance has a preconfigured NAT policy to perform
Many-to-One NAT between the systems on the LAN and the IP
address of the WAN interface. The appliance does not perform
NAT by default when traffic crosses between the other
interfaces.
You can create multiple NAT policies on a SonicWALL running
SonicOS Enhanced for the same object – for instance, you can
specify that an internal server uses one IP address when
accessing Telnet servers, and uses a different IP address for all
other protocols. Because the NAT engine in SonicOS Enhanced
supports inbound port forwarding, it is possible to access
multiple internal servers from the WAN IP address of the
SonicWALL security appliance. The more granular the NAT
Policy, the more precedence it takes.
Before configuring NAT Policies, you must create all Address
Objects that will be referenced by the policy. For instance, if you
are creating a One-to-One NAT policy, first create Address
Objects for your public and private IP addresses.
Configuring NAT Policies
NAT policies allow you to control Network Address Translation
based on matching combinations of Source IP address,
Destination IP address, and Destination Services. Policy-based
NAT allows you to deploy different types of NAT simultaneously.
The following NAT configurations are available in SonicOS
Enhanced:
Many-to-One NAT Policy
Many-to-Many NAT Policy
One-to-One NAT Policy for Outbound Traffic
One-to-One NAT Policy for Inbound Traffic (Reflexive)
One-to-Many NAT Load Balancing
Inbound Port Address Translation via One-to-One NAT
Policy
Inbound Port Address Translation via WAN IP Address
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 31 Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:41 PM
Page 32 Network Address Translation
This section describes how to configure a One-to-One NAT
policy. One-to-One is the most common NAT policy used to
route traffic to an internal server, such as a Web server. Most of
the time, this means that incoming requests from external IP
addresses are translated from the IP address of the SonicWALL
security appliance WAN port to the IP address of the internal
Web server. The following example configuration illustrates the
use of the fields in the Add NAT Policy procedure. To add a
One-to-One NAT policy that allows all Internet traffic to be
routed through a public IP address, two policies are needed:
one policy for the outbound traffic, and one policy for the
inbound traffic.
To add the components of a One-to-One NAT policy, perform
the following steps:
1. Navigate to the Network > NAT Policies page. Click Add.
The Add NAT Policy dialog box displays.
2. For Original Source, select Any.
3. For Translated Source, select Original.
4. For Original Destination, select X0 IP.
5. For Translated Destination, select Create new address
object and create a new address object using WAN for
Zone Assignment and Host for Type.
6. For Original Service, select HTTP.
7. For Translated Service, select Original.
8. For Inbound Interface, select X0.
9. For Outbound Interface, select Any.
10. For Comment, enter a short description.
11. Select the Enable NAT Policy checkbox.
12. Select the Create a reflexive policy checkbox if you want
a matching NAT policy to be automatically created in the
opposite direction. This will create the outbound as well as
the inbound policies.
13. Click Add.
For more information on creating NAT policies, refer to the
SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide.

SonicPoints for Wireless Access
This section describes how to configure SonicPoints with the
SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance. SonicPoints can be used
to add wireless features to a SonicWALL TZ 210 wired
appliance, or to create a more robust distributed wireless
network with a SonicWALL TZ 210 Wireless-N appliance.
This section contains the following subsections:
Configuring Provisioning Profiles - page 36
Configuring a Wireless Zone - page 37
Assigning an Interface to the Wireless Zone - page 39
Connecting the SonicPoint - page 40
SonicWALL SonicPoints are wireless access points specially
engineered to work with SonicWALL security appliances.
Before you can manage SonicPoints in the Management
Interface, you must first:
Configure your SonicPoint provisioning profiles.
Configure a Wireless zone.
Assign profiles to Wireless zones. This step is optional. If
you do not assign a default profile for a zone, SonicPoints
in that zone will use the first profile in the list.
Assign an interface to the Wireless zone.
Attach the SonicPoints to the interface in the Wireless zone
and test.

Configuring Provisioning Profiles
SonicPoint Profile definitions include all of the settings that can
be configured on a SonicPoint, such as radio settings for the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, SSIDs, and channels of operation.
Once you have defined a SonicPoint profile, you can apply it to
a Wireless zone. Each Wireless zone can be configured with
one SonicPoint profile. When a SonicPoint is connected to a
zone, it is automatically provisioned with the profile assigned to
that zone. SonicOS includes a default SonicPoint profile,
named SonicPoint.
To add a new profile, click Add below the list of SonicPoint
provisioning profiles. To edit an existing profile, select the profile
and click the Configure icon in the same line as the profile you
are editing.
1. In the Add/Edit SonicPoint Profile window on the General
tab:
Select Enable SonicPoint.
Enter a Name Prefix to be used as the first part of the
name for each SonicPoint provisioned.
Select the Country Code for where the SonicPoints
are operating.
2. In the 802.11g Radio tab:
Select Enable Radio.
Optionally, select a schedule for the radio to be
enabled from the drop-down list.
•For Radio Mode, select the speed that the SonicPoint
will operate on. You can choose from the following:
11Mbps - 802.11b
54 Mbps - 802.11g
108 Mbps - Turbo G
Note: If you choose Turbo mode, all users in your company
must use wireless access cards that support Turbo
mode.
•For Channel, use AutoChannel unless you have a
reason to use or avoid specific channels.
Enter a recognizable string for the SSID of each
SonicPoint using this profile. This is the name that will
appear in clients’ lists of available wireless
connections.
Under ACL Enforcement, select Enable MAC Filter
List to enforce Access Control by allowing or denying
traffic from specific devices. Select a MAC address
object group from the Allow List to automatically allow
traffic from all devices with MAC addresses in the
group. Select a MAC address group from the Deny
List to automatically deny traffic from all devices with
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 36 Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:41 PM
SonicWALL TZ 210 Series Getting Started Guide Page 37
MAC addresses in the group. The Deny List is
enforced before the Allow List.
Under WEP/WPA Encryption, select the
Authentication Type for your wireless network.
SonicWALL recommends using WPA2 as the
authentication type.
Fill in the fields specific to the authentication type that
you selected. The remaining fields change depending
on the selected authentication type.
3. In the 802.11g Adv tab, configure the advanced radio
settings for the 802.11g radio. For most 802.11g advanced
options, the default settings give optimum performance.

SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide.
4. In the 802.11a Radio and 802.11a Adv tabs, configure the
settings for the operation of the 802.11a radio bands. The
SonicPoint has two separate radios built in. Therefore, it
can send and receive on both the 802.11a and 802.11g
bands at the same time.
The settings in the 802.11a Radio and 802.11a Advanced
tabs are similar to the settings in the 802.11g Radio and
802.11g Advanced tabs.
5. When finished, click OK.

You can configure a wireless zone on the Network > Zones
page. Typically, you will configure the WLAN zone for use with
SonicPoints.
1. On the Network > Zones page in the WLAN row, click the
icon in the Configure column.
2. In the Edit Zone dialog box on the General tab, the Allow
Interface Trust setting automates the creation of Access
Rules to allow traffic to flow between the interfaces of a
zone instance. For example, if the WLAN Zone has both
the X2 and X3 interfaces assigned to it, selecting the Allow
Interface Trust checkbox on the WLAN Zone creates the
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 37 Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:41 PM
Page 38 SonicPoints for Wireless Access
necessary Access Rules to allow hosts on these interfaces
to communicate with each other.
3. Select the checkboxes for the security services to enable
on this zone. Typically, you would enable Gateway Anti-
Virus, IPS, and Anti-Spyware. If your wireless clients are
all running SonicWALL Client Anti-Virus, select Enable
Client AV Enforcement Service.
4. Click on the Wireless tab.
In the Wireless Settings section, select Only allow
traffic generated by a SonicPoint to allow only traffic
from SonicWALL SonicPoints to enter the WLAN Zone
interface. This provides maximum security on your
WLAN. Uncheck this option if you want to allow any
traffic on your WLAN Zone regardless of whether or
not it is from a SonicPoint.
5. Optionally configure the settings on the Guest Services
tab. For information about configuring Guest Services, see
the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide.
6. When finished, click OK.

Page 40 Public Server on DMZ
Connecting the SonicPoint
When a SonicPoint unit is first connected and powered up, it
attempts 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, such as your
SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance, 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.
To connect the SonicPoint:
1. Using a CAT 5 Ethernet cable, connect the SonicPoint to
the interface that you configured. Then connect the
SonicPoint to a power source.
2. In the SonicOS user interface on the SonicPoint >
SonicPoints page, click the Synchronize SonicPoints
button. The SonicWALL appliance downloads a SonicPoint
image from the SonicWALL back-end server.
3. Follow the instructions in the SonicPoint wizard. Be sure to
select the same authentication type and enter the same
keys or password that you configured in SonicOS.
Note: For more information about wireless configuration, see
the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s Guide.
Public Server on DMZ
This section provides instructions for configuring your
SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance to support a public Web
server on a DMZ zone.
A Web server can be placed on the LAN by completing the
server wizard, which creates the proper address objects and
rules for safe access.
Many network administrators, however, choose to place the
Web server on a DMZ, as it provides a dedicated Ethernet
interface for added security and bandwidth management.

the HTTPS service.
4. Enter a Server Name in the field that is easy to remember
such as “My Web Server”. This name is for your reference
and does not necessarily need to be a domain or address.
5. Enter the Private IP Address of your server. This is the IP
address where the server will reside within the DMZ zone.
If you do not have a DMZ configured yet, select a private IP
address (such as 192.168.168.123) and write it down, you
will need to refer to this later.
6. Enter a Server Comment (optional) and click Next.
7. Enter the Server Public IP Address in the field (normally
your primary WAN IP address). This IP Address is used to
access your Web server from the Internet.
8. Click Next and then click Apply to finish the wizard.

About High Availability
In this scenario, one SonicWALL TZ 210 series appliance
operates as the Primary gateway device and the other acts as
the Backup. Once configured for High Availability, the Backup
SonicWALL contains a real-time mirrored configuration of the
Primary SonicWALL via an Ethernet link between the
designated HA interfaces on each appliance.
During normal operation, the Primary SonicWALL is in Active
mode and the Backup SonicWALL is in Idle mode. If the
Primary device loses connectivity, the Backup SonicWALL
transitions to Active mode and assumes the configuration and
role of the Primary gateway device. This automatic failover
ensures a reliable connection between the protected network
and the Internet.
After a failover to the Backup appliance, all the pre-existing
network connections must be re-established, including the VPN
tunnels that must be re-negotiated.
Initial HA Setup
Before you begin the configuration of HA on the Primary
SonicWALL security appliance, perform the following setup:
1. On the back panel of the Backup SonicWALL security
appliance, locate the serial number and write the number
down. You need to enter this number in the High
Availability > Settings page.
2. Verify that the Primary SonicWALL appliance is registered
and licensed for SonicOS Enhanced and the desired
SonicWALL security services.
3. Associate the two SonicWALL appliances as HA Primary
and HA Secondary on MySonicWALL, for license
synchronization.
4. Make sure the Primary SonicWALL and Backup
SonicWALL security appliances’ LAN, WAN and other
interfaces are properly configured for failover.
5. Connect the X6 ports on the Primary SonicWALL and
Backup SonicWALL appliances with a CAT 5 Ethernet
cable. The Primary and Backup SonicWALL security
appliances must have a dedicated connection.
6. Power up the Primary SonicWALL security appliance, and
then power up the Backup SonicWALL security appliance.
7. Do not make any configuration changes to the Primary’s
X6 interface; the High Availability configuration in an
upcoming step takes care of this issue.
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 46 Friday, November 14, 2008 10:29 AM
SonicWALL TZ 210 Series Getting Started Guide Page 47
HA License Synchronization Overview
You can configure HA license synchronization by associating
two SonicWALL security appliances as HA Primary and HA
Secondary on MySonicWALL. Note that the Backup appliance
of your HA pair is referred to as the HA Secondary unit on
MySonicWALL.
You need only purchase a single license for SonicOS
Enhanced, a single Support subscription, and a single set of
security services licenses for the HA Primary appliance. These
licenses are shared with the HA Secondary appliance. Only
consulting services such as the SonicWALL GMS Preventive
Maintenance Service license are not shared. See Registering
and Licensing Your Appliance on MySonicWALL -
page 10.
License synchronization is used during HA so that the Backup
appliance can maintain the same level of network protection
provided before the failover. To enable HA, you can use the
SonicOS UI to configure your two appliances as a HA pair in
Active/Idle mode.
MySonicWALL provides several methods of associating the two
appliances. You can start by registering a new appliance, and
then choosing an already-registered unit to associate it with.
You can associate two units that are both already registered. Or
you can select a registered unit and then add a new appliance
with which to associate it.
Note: After registering new SonicWALL appliances on
MySonicWALL, you must also register each appliance
from the SonicOS management interface by clicking the
registration link on the System > Status page. This
allows each unit to synchronize with the SonicWALL
license server and share licenses with the associated
appliance.
TZ_210_GSG.book Page 47 Friday, November 14, 2008 10:29 AM
