Chapter 9: Configuring Interfaces
Network > Interfaces
The Network>Interfaces page includes interface objects that are directly linked to physical
interfaces. The SonicOS Enhanced scheme of interface addressing works in conjunction with network
zones and address objects. Physical interface objects include the X0, X1, X3, X4, and X5 ports in the
SonicWALL security appliance.
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard button accesses the Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard walks you through
step-by-step the configuration of the SonicWALL security appliance for Internet connectivity.
Â
Cross Reference: For Setup Wizard instructions, see Chapter 48 Configuring Internet Connectivity
using the Setup Wizard.
Physical Interfaces
Physical interfaces must be assigned to a Zone to allow for configuration of Access Rules to govern
inbound and outbound traffic. Security zones are bound to each physical interface where it acts as a
conduit for inbound and outbound traffic. If there is no interface, traffic cannot access the zone or exit
the zone.
Â
Cross Reference: For more information on zone, see Chapter 11 Configuring Zones.
The first two interfaces, X0(LAN) and X1(WAN) are fixed interfaces, permanently bound to the
Trusted and Untrusted Zone types. The remaining Interfaces can be configured and bound to any
Zone type, depending on your SonicWALL security appliance:
• SonicWALL PRO 3060/PRO 4060/PRO5060 security appliances include four user-definable
interfaces, X2, X3, X4, and X5.
• SonicWALL PRO 2040 security appliance includes two user-definable interfaces, X2 and X3.
• SonicWALL TZ 170 security includes one user definable interface, OPT.
Note: The Untrusted Zone type can only have two members, one of which is the fixed interface, X1.
