Configuring the Network Interface

Each SonicWave or group of SonicWaves must be connected to a physical network interface that is configured in a wireless zone. SonicOS provides a standard wireless zone (WLAN) that can be applied to any available interface.

To configure the network interface in SonicOS

1. Navigate to the NETWORK > System > Interfaces and click the Edit this interface icon by hovering over the interface to which your SonicWave connects.

   

2. Select WLAN or another (custom) wireless zone from the Zone drop-down menu. The default wireless zone is WLAN.

3. Select Static IP Mode for the Mode/IP Assignment.

4. In the IP Address field, type in any private IP address that does not interfere with the IP address range of any other interfaces on the appliance. Wireless clients are assigned an IP address in this subnet.

5. Enter a Subnet Mask. The default is 255.255.255.0.

6. Select a non-zero number for SonicPoint/SonicWave Limit. If 0 is selected, no access points can be discovered on this interface.

7. Use the default settings or select appropriate settings for the other fields and click OK.
