To add Static Route entries, complete the following instructions:
1. Enter the destination network of the static route in the Dest. Network field. The des-
tination network is the IP address subnet of the remote network segment.
Note: If the destination network uses IP addresses ranging from "192.168.1.1" to
"192.168.1.255", enter "192.168.1.0" in the Dest. Network field.
2. Enter the subnet mask of the remote network segment in the Subnet mask field.
3. Enter the IP address of your router in the Gateway field. This IP address should be in
the same subnet as the SonicWALL. If your router is located on the SonicWALL LAN,
the Gateway address should be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL LAN IP Address.
4. Select the port on the SonicWALL that the router is connected to either the LAN, the
WAN, or the DMZ, from the Link list.
5. Click Update. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the up-
date is displayed at the bottom of the Web browser window. Restart the SonicWALL
for the change to take effect.
Note: The SonicWALL can support up to 64 static route entries.
DMZ Addresses
(SonicWALL PRO 100, PRO 200, and PRO 300 Only)
The SonicWALL provides security by preventing Internet users from accessing machines on
the LAN. This security, however, also prevents users from reaching public servers, such as
Web or e-mail servers.
The SonicWALL offers a special DMZ ("Demilitarized Zone") port that provides Internet
access to network servers. The DMZ sits between the local network and the Internet.
Servers on the DMZ are publicly accessible, but they are protected from attacks such as
SYN Flood and Ping of Death. Use of the DMZ port is optional.
If you are configuring the SonicWALL SOHO3 or the SonicWALL TELE3, please go to
Chapter 8, Network Access Rules, for information about setting up publicly accessible
servers.
Using the DMZ is a strongly recommended alternative to placing servers on the WAN port
where they are not protected or established Public LAN servers.
