SonicWall Access Points Power over Ethernet (POE) Injector SonicWall TZ series SonicWall X-Series Solution What is the SonicWall X-Series solution? Customers often needs to manage critical network elements such as firewall, switch individually. The SonicWall X-Series solution allows unified management of both the firewall and the switch using the firewall UI and GMS. For example the maximum number of interfaces available on the SonicWall TZ-Series models range from 5 (TZ300) to 10 (TZ600). In certain customer deployments, the number of ports required might easily exceed the maximum number of interfaces available on the SonicWall TZ-Series firewalls. With SonicWall X-Series solution, ports on the X-Series Switch can be viewed as "extended" interfaces of the firewall thereby increasing the number of interfaces available for use. X-Series Switches What X-Series Switch models are supported in SonicWall X-Series solution? For details about how to provision X-Series switches on SonicWall TZ series firewalls, see KB185057 SonicWall TZ Series Ports To setup the SonicWall TZ for SonicWall Access Points: Cabling a TZ300 to a SonicWall Access Points Connecting a SonicWall X-Series solution to a SonicWall Access Points The SonicWall X-Series solution allows for the provisioning of X-Series switches on SonicWall firewalls as "Extended Switches". Ports on the "Extended Switch" can be PortShield to the WLAN zone of the SonicWall, to which we can connect SonicPoints access points. When connecting SonicPoint access points to a X-Series switch, it is important to consider the SonicPoint's power requirements. SonicWall access points requires a minimum of 25.5 watts. You must use a SonicWall power injector if your X-Series switch model does not support POE+. Here we have provisioned a X-Switch X1026P with ports 1 - 4 PortShield to the WLAN zone of the SonicWall, to which we have connected a SonicWall access point. Ports 1 -12 on the X1026P supports POE+ and can power SonicWallaccess points.
