VLAN Support in Transparent Mode
While the network depicted in the above diagram is simple, it is not uncommon for larger networks to use VLANs for segmentation of traffic. If this was such a network, where the link between the switch and the router was a VLAN trunk, a Transparent Mode SonicWall Security Appliance would have been able to terminate the VLANs to subinterfaces on either side of the link, but it would have required unique addressing; that is, non-Transparent Mode operation requiring re-addressing on at least one side. This is because only the Primary WAN interface can be used as the source for Transparent Mode address space.
