VPN and remote site

djhurt1

Setting up a remote site via VPN. We'll have a couple sonicwaves at the remote site. Remote site will be wired and wireless clients mixed. Sonicwall firewalls at each end. All current sonicwaves are managed by our primary sonicwall on their own subnet. Remote site will be a different subnet. I've been working on the VPN for the remote site however I'm not sure how to handle the sonicwaves. We're using 802.1x/PEAP authentication with NPS at primary site.

What are some options for the remote sonicwaves? I could setup 802.1x/PEAP there as well however it would be wonderful to have it all in one central firewall. With the primary site sonicwaves on different subnet from the remotes I can't think of a way to manage the remote sonicwaves via the primary firewall unless the primary sonicwave subnet can exist at the remote site as well and route through the VPN? Is this something that WLAN tunnel interface could fit in well? Hate to have 2 seperate VPNs to each site though.

Will there be any issues with adding this WLAN interface along side the existing VPN for wired clients?

@Saravanan

I guess what I meant to say is can this WLAN tunnel interface participate in the existing VPN being setup for the wired clients simultaneously?

Hi @DJHURT1,

Nope. I dont think so. You have to rebuild the VPN tunnel interface for the Sonicpoints management. This has to be a complete separate configuration on the SonicWall to manage the Sonicpoint over the VPN other than passing data traffic.
