SonicWALL 5.8.1 Manuale Utente

Transparent Mode enables the SonicWALL security appliance to bridge the WAN subnet onto 
an internal interface. To configure an interface for transparent mode, complete the following 
steps:

Click on the Configure icon in the Configure column for Unassigned Interface you want to 
configure. The Edit Interface window is displayed.

Select an interface. 

If you select a configurable interface, select LAN or DMZ for Zone.

If you want to create a new zone for the configurable interface, select Create a new zone. 
The Add Zone window is displayed. See 

 for instructions 

on adding a zone.

Select Transparent Mode from the IP Assignment menu.

From the Transparent Range menu, select an address object that contains the range of IP 
addresses you want to have access through this interface. The address range must be within 
the WAN zone and must not include the WAN interface IP address. If you do not have an 
address object configured that meets your needs:

In the Transparent Range menu, select Create New Address Object.

In the Add Address Object window, enter a name for the address range. 

For Zone Assignment, select WAN.

Host if you want only one network device to connect to this interface.

Range to specify a range of IP addresses by entering beginning and ending value 
of the range.

The subnet must be within the WAN address range and cannot include the WAN 
interface IP address.
