Sample Topologies

The following are sample topologies depicting common deployments:

  • Inline Layer 2 Bridged Mode represents the addition of a SonicWall firewall to provide security services in a network where an existing appliance is in place.
  • Perimeter Security represents the addition of a SonicWall firewall in pure L2 Bridged Mode to an existing network, where the appliance is placed near the perimeter of the network.
  • Internal Security represents the full integration of a SonicWall firewall in mixed-mode, where it provides simultaneous L2 bridging, WLAN services, and NATed WAN access.
  • Layer 2 Bridged Mode with High Availability represents the mixed-mode scenario where the appliance HA pair provide high availability along with L2 bridging.
  • Layer 2 Bridged Mode with SSL VPN represents the scenario where a SonicWall SMA SSL VPN or SonicWall SSL VPN Series appliance is deployed in conjunction with L2 Bridged Mode.
