Creating VLAN36 for Bell Fibe TV on a Sonicwall TZ570W

Audi911

Hello Sonicwall friends.

I have a question regarding creating a VLAN 36 the get Bell Fibe TV running on my Sonicwall TZ 570W.

I came across a post that shows how it is done on a PFSense

https://forum.netgate.com/topic/78892/how-to-get-bell-fibe-in-quebec-ontario-internet-and-iptv-working-with-pfsense

I'm not entirely sure how I would go about getting this done on the Sonicwall. Would anyone be able to help me get this working. Basically, I want to completely bypass my Home Hub modem so I can just use the Sonicwall and not have anything else.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks!

Hello @Audi911,

Welcome to the SonicWall community.

I think you would need to create VLAN sub-interfaces as mentioned in this KB.

As far as I can tell though, the VLAN has to be created on the X1 interface is that correct?

shiprasahu93

Yes, you are right. X1 is the default WAN interface, so VLANs should be added with X1 as the parent interface.

Thanks!

Forgive me but how do I set up the static routes?

I am only finding the How-To for SonicOS 6.x :(

I may be going about this the wrong way but any help on how I could get this done would be great :)

I found this article, it's pretty old but it seems it's doable.

@Audi911,

I will work with the concerned team to get this KB updated with the screenshots for Gen 7 devices as well.

The configuration steps remain the same and can be found under Network | System | Interface and Add Interface section.

Thanks!

Perfect,

I was able to get that part done but I am now stuck at the part where we have to create the static routes.

@Audi911,

You can create static routes from Policy | Rules and Policies | Routing Rules section as per the screenshot below.

I hope that helps!

Thanks!
