Configuring Wireless on the SOHO TZW Page 35
Deployment Scenario for WiFiSec and VPN Tunnel Traversal
A site-to-site VPN tunnel is configured between Site 1 and Site 2, both sites using a SOHO
TZW, and Site 1 has a wireless client on the LAN. When the wireless client at Site 1 attempts
to send data to Site 2 over the VPN tunnel, all data is encrypted between the wireless client,
the SOHO TZW at Site 1, and then over the Internet to Site 2.
To configure the WLAN Settings, log into the SonicWALL, and click Wireless, then Settings.
1. Select Enable WLAN to allow wireless communication over the WLAN port.
2. Select WiFiSec Enforcement to encrypt all traffic over the WLAN. If you choose not to
enforce WiFiSec on your network, clear the check box. You can then select or clear the
Require WiFiSec for VPN Tunnel Traversal check box.
3. Type the IP address of the WLAN in the WLAN IP Address field or use the default IP
address. The default IP address is acceptable for most networks.
4. Type the subnet mask in the WLAN Subnet Mask field.
5. Type a name for the SSID in the SSID field or use the default value which is SonicWALL.
6. Select a channel from the Channel list. The most frequently used channels are 1, 6, and
11. Channel 11 is considered to be the optimal channel for wireless networking.
