Determining the WAN Type

Before configuring your Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance, 
you will need to determine the type of WAN connection your 
setup will use. Dell SonicWALL supports the following types:

• Static—Configures the appliance for a network that uses 

static IP addresses.

• DHCP—Configures the appliance to request IP settings from 

a DHCP server on the Internet. 

• PPPoE—Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is 

typically used with a DSL modem. If your ISP requires 
desktop software, a username, and password, select NAT 
with PPPoE mode. 

• PPTP—Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to 

connect to a remote server. PPTP typically supports older 
Microsoft Windows implementations requiring tunneling 
connectivity. 

• L2TP—Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) uses IPsec to 

connect to a L2TP server and encrypts all data transmitted 
from the client to the server. It does not encrypt network traffic 
to other destinations. If L2TP is not available in the Setup 
Wizard, you can configure it later in the SonicOS 
management interface.
