NETWORK SETTINGS

This chapter describes the configuration of the SonicWALL Network Settings. The
Network Settings include the SonicWALL IP settings, the administrator password,
and the time and date.
To configure the SonicWALL Network Settings, click General on the left side of the
browser window, and then click the Network tab at the top of the window.
Network Addressing Mode
The Network Addressing Mode menu determines the network address scheme of
your SonicWALL. It includes four options: Standard, NAT Enabled, NAT with DHCP
Client and NAT with PPPoE.
• Standard mode requires valid IP addresses for all computers on your network, but
allows remote access to authenticated users.
• NAT Enabled mode translates your network's private IP addresses to the Son-
icWALL's single, valid IP address. Select NAT Enabled if your ISP assigned you
only one or two valid IP addresses.
• NAT with DHCP Client mode configures the SonicWALL to request IP settings
from a DHCP server on the Internet. NAT with DHCP Client is a typical network
addressing mode for cable and DSL customers.
