  • @Ajishlal I can't configure the switch uplink as trunk. I can however configure the port connected to sonicwave as trunk and that seems to work. What is confusing is why do these have to be portshielded in order to expose the option assign a port to a VLAN.
  • I've tried both ways(firewall UI and direct connect) to setup VLANs on this switch with no success. The only way I can get it to recognize a VLAN through firewall UI is if I portshield the port but then it shows up as Trunk with a default random VLAN ID(not one I've created) and I can't change it. It also will not let a…
  • @Ajishlal The options/settings mentioned in that guide don't exist on this switch. The admin guide doesn't really give a good explanation of port shield from what I can find. Is there a document specific for port shield? I haven't been able to find anything yet.
  • I've all but given up on setting the switch up directly connected as the interface is not straight forward to me. I've been trying to get it managed through the firewall UI, however that's not going well either. The switch appears, I select to authorize and it shows up however it says it's unreachable. I set a seperate…
  • @Ajishlal Yes, attached is screenshots. @Saravanan This is a sonicwave and connected via a sonicwall 8 port POE switch. I suspected it's something with the VLANs on the switch but these are very different from any switch I've worked with before. I "believe" I have the port connected to the TZ570 set to trunk but I may be…
  • Sub interface for Guest is set to VLAN 10 on firewall.
  • I should add the "Guest" zone was created with wireless security type.
  • While I don't think the DNS issue is entirely related to the ping issue I did find using packet monitor and pinging from a pc at the main site I see that the ping is dropped.Packet dropped. "Guest service drop pkt" But I'm confused why as the ping is coming from the VPN and not guest.
  • What I meant to ask was if I connect one of these switches to a port on a TZ570 and set that port to WLAN, the option for "Enable auto-discovery of sonicwall switches" gets greyed out. Since these are POE enabled switches it seems odd to me that they can't be managed via the firewall when they are powering sonicwave APs.…

  • There will be a switch behind the remote firewall naturally. Management would like the switch to be on a "management" Ip which is a subnet that already exists on the primary firewall. For example, 10.24.0.1 is the management subnet at the primary site that all other switches are on. The switch at the remote site needs to…
  • @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?
  • @Saravanan Will there be any issues with adding this WLAN interface along side the existing VPN for wired clients?
  • Can you give an example of such a conflict?

  • With site to site VPN, what caveats will I run into with a couple sonicwaves at the remote site regarding Ip addressing and routing?
  • @TKWITS We're using Sonicwalls end to end so we'll avoid the compatibility issues. I'm just curious what the technical difference was between using a "numbered" interface vs. one that isn't. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around what is technically different using a numbered interface that would make it…
