Connecting the SonicWALL EmailSecurity to Your Network
Your SonicWALL Email Security appliance is designed to operate in most network setups with
minimal configuration. The diagrams below provide a “before” and “after” view of a network using
SonicWALL Email Security.
1. Plug one end of the provided Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the back of your SonicWALL
Email Security appliance.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into an open port on your network hub or switch.
Note:

Your SonicWALL Email Security Appliance will perform better if you follow the shutdown
procedures when you need to power-down. To shut down your appliance, use the web interface,
or press the power button on the front of the appliance once. Holding down the power button
or unplugging your appliance does not give it time to write all the data in volatile memory to
stable memory, and you may lose settings or data.
