Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
• DHCP Server
The DHCP Server offers centralized management of TCP/IP client configurations, including IP
addresses, gateway addresses, and DNS addresses. Upon startup, each network client receives
its TCP/IP settings automatically from the SonicWALL DHCP Server.
• DHCP Client
The DHCP Client allows the SonicWALL to acquire TCP/IP settings (such as IP address, gateway
address, DNS address) from your ISP. This is necessary if your ISP assigns you a dynamic IP
address.
• DHCP over VPN
DHCP over VPN allows a Host (DHCP Client) behind a SonicWALL obtain an IP address lease
from a DHCP server at the end of a VPN tunnel. In some network deployments, it is desirable to
have all VPN networks residing in one IP subnet address space. This facilitates address
administration for the networks using VPN tunnels.
Easy Installation and Configuration
• Installation Wizard
The SonicWALL Installation Wizard helps you quickly install and configure the SonicWALL.
• Online help
SonicWALL help documentation is built into the SonicWALL Web Management Interface for easy
access during installation and management.
IPSec VPN
• SonicWALL VPN
SonicWALL VPN provides a simple, secure tool that enables corporate offices and business
partners to connect securely over the Internet. By encrypting data, SonicWALL VPN provides
private communications between two or more sites without the expense of leased site-to-site
lines.
• VPN Client Software for Windows
Mobile users with dial-up Internet accounts can securely access remote network resources with
the SonicWALL VPN Client. The SonicWALL VPN Client establishes a private, encrypted VPN
tunnel to the SonicWALL, allowing users to transparently access network servers from any
location.
