Configuring the Appliance

In this Section:

This section provides an overview of available WAN types, a section to record configuration information, and initial setup information and procedures.

• Determining the WAN Type, page 12

• System Requirements, page 12

• Recording Configuration Information, page 13

• Initial Setup, page 14

• Connecting to the Internet, page 17

• Troubleshooting Your Connections, page 19

Determining the WAN Type

Before configuring your Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance, you will need to determine the type of WAN connection your setup will use. Dell SonicWALL supports the following types:

• Static—Configures the appliance for a network that uses static IP addresses.

• DHCP—Configures the appliance to request IP settings from a DHCP server on the Internet.

• PPPoE—Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is typically used with a DSL modem. If your ISP requires desktop software, a username, and password, select NAT with PPPoE mode.

• PPTP—Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used to connect to a remote server. PPTP typically supports older Microsoft Windows implementations requiring tunneling connectivity.

• L2TP—Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) uses IPsec to connect to a L2TP server and encrypts all data transmitted from the client to the server. It does not encrypt network traffic to other destinations. If L2TP is not available in the Setup Wizard, you can configure it later in the SonicOS management interface.

Note: For more information regarding other supported WAN

types such as Wire Mode or Tap Mode, refer to the SonicOS Administrator’s Guide.

System Requirements

Before beginning the setup process, verify that you have:

• An Internet connection

• A Web browser supporting Java Script and HTTP uploads.

Accepted Browser Browser Version Number

Internet Explorer 8.0 and higher

Chrome 18.0 and higher

Firefox 16.0 and higher

Safari 5.0 and higher

The diagram below illustrates how to connect your management computer to the Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance for initial setup.

14 | Initial Setup

MGM

The following sections provide initial configuration information and instructions for connecting your Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance for initial setup.

• Connecting the MGMT Port, page 15

• Applying Power to the NSA 6600, page 15

• NSA 6600 LED Activity, page 15

• Using the Setup Wizard, page 16

Connecting the MGMT Port

1. Using the provided Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to the computer you are using to manage the Dell SonicWALL NSA appliance.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the MGMT port on your Dell SonicWALL NSA appliance.

Applying Power to the NSA 6600

Connect the AC power cord from the Dell SonicWALL NSA appliance into an appropriate power outlet.

For further information regarding power requirements, refer to

Product Safety and Regulatory Information, page 57 of this

document.

NSA 6600 LED Activity

The Power LEDs on the front panel illuminate blue when the appliance is powered on.

The Test LED or Alarm LED may illuminate and blink while the appliance performs a series of diagnostic tests. When these LEDs are no longer illuminated and the Power LEDs remain steadily lit, the Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 appliance is ready for configuration. This typically occurs within a few minutes of turning on the power.

If the Test or Alarm LEDs remain lit after the NSA 6600 has completed powering on, restart the appliance by disconnecting the power, waiting 1 minute, then connecting the power again.

For a connected MGMT or X0 - X7 port, the Link LED for the port illuminates green or amber depending on the link throughput speed, indicating an active connection:

• Amber indicates 1 Gbps

• Green indicates 100 Mbps

• A unlit left LED with the right LED lit indicates 10 Mbps

Initial Setup | 15

Using the Setup Wizard

When you are ready to begin initial setup, configure your management computer with a static IP address on the

192.168.1.0/24 subnet, such as 192.168.1.20. This allows your computer to connect to SonicOS via the MGMT interface.

Note: Be sure to disable pop-up blocking software, or set your

Web browser to allow pop-ups and cookies.

To access the SonicOS management interface, follow the steps listed:

1. With your computer connected to the appliance MGMT port, start your Web browser and navigate to the default MGMT interface IP address: <http://192.168.1.254>.

2. Launch the Dell SonicWALL Setup Wizard by clicking the first Here link. This wizard helps you quickly configure the Dell SonicWALL appliance to secure your Internet connection.

3. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the Dell SonicWALL Setup Wizard.

4. A Setup Wizard Summary page displays at the end of the wizard. Verify the inform at i on you’ve entered is correct, then click Apply.

5. Once completed, a Setup Wizard Completion notice displays.

6. Click Close.

7. Continue to Connecting to the Internet, page 17 to connect the appliance for Internet access and then refer to

Registering, Licensing, and Upgrading, page 2 1 to begin

the registration process.

16 | Initial Setup

Connecting to the Internet

After initial setup is complete, connect the LAN and WAN interfaces for access to external networks or the Internet. You cannot reach the Internet or other WAN destinations while connected to the MGMT interface. For Internet access, connect to X0 or another configured LAN interface.

Note: Internet connectivity is needed for the recommended

product registration process.

Connecting the LAN Port

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your computer or to your local network switch or other networking device.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the X0

(LAN) port on your Dell SonicWALL NSA appliance.

Connecting the WAN Port

1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your Internet connection. If you have a router, DSL modem, or cable modem, connect the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the router or modem.

2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the X1

(WAN) port on your Dell SonicWALL NSA appliance.

Testing Your Internet Connection

Use the following steps to test your Internet connection:

1. After you exit the Setup Wizard, connect your computer to the X0 (LAN) port.

2. Point your browser to the X0 IP address configured during initial setup, or to the default <http://192.168.168.168>.

3. When the log in page appears, log into the SonicOS management interface as admin, using the configured password or the default, password.

4. Open a command prompt window on your computer and enter the command: ping sonicwall.com

5. Open another Web browser and navigate to: <http://www.sonicwall.com>.

If you can view the Dell SonicWALL home page, you have configured your Dell SonicWALL NSA 6600 correctly.

If you cannot view the Dell SonicWALL home page, try one of these solutions:

• Renew your management station DHCP address or restart

your management station to accept new network settings from the DHCP server in the Dell SonicWALL appliance.

• Restart your Internet router to communicate with the DHCP

client in the Dell SonicWALL appliance.

Note: WAN connectivity issues are unrelated to completion of

the MySonicWALL registration process.
