Scenario C: L2 Bridge Mode
For network installations where the Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600
is running in tandem with an existing network gateway.
In this scenario, the original gateway is maintained. The Dell
SonicWALL NSA 6600 is integrated seamlessly into the existing
network, providing the benefits of deep packet inspection and
comprehensive security services on all network traffic.
L2 Bridge Mode employs a secure learning bridge architecture,
enabling it to pass and inspect traffic types that cannot be
handled by many other methods of transparent security
appliance integration. Using L2 Bridge Mode, a Dell SonicWALL
security appliance can be non-disruptively added to any
Ethernet network to provide in-line deep-packet inspection for
network traffic.
To set up this scenario, follow the steps covered in:
