Setting up for 2 internet connects?

Setman

Hi Guys,

We have a SOHO Sonic Wall, also have 2 internet companies. Once in a while our main internet goes

down, and since we have are POS System on the cloud we are down till it is back up. We have a spare

internet company that we don't use, is it possible to connect 2 internet's into the sonic wall?

Thanks

Hi @Setman ,

We can setup two WAN connections on Sonicwall and configure it as Basic Failover.

For configuring secondary WAN Interface on Sonicwall please follow the KB below:

For Configring the failover , where if the Primary is not down, the firewall will forward the traffic via the secondary WAN connections for uninterrupted service.

Hope you are doing good.

Yes we can configure a second interface as WAN and use that interface under WAN failover and load balancing group.

Please check the following article for configuring second WAN.

To configure the WAN Failover for a SonicWALL appliance, complete the following steps:

1) Expand the Network tree and click WAN Failover & LB. The WAN Failover & LB page displays.

2 Select Enable Load Balancing.

3 Edit Default LB Group, Choose Basic Failover.

Enable Preempt and failback to preferred interfaces when possible

4) Move the new WAN interface under Select here: Interface Ordering

To make WAN failover to work seamlessly, probing on each interface is recommended.

For probe configuration please check the following article.
