Sonicwall add, or bind, second subnet to WAN internet
Is it possible to add a second subnet from the same ISP to the existing WAN interface? The ISP was not able to increase the existing block of ips, so assign a new block.
Current WAN:
ip: 209.177.194.58
Mask: 255.255.255.252
Gateway: 209.177.194.57
Additional Subnet:
ip: 64.16.136.250 -(64.16.136.254)
Mask: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: 64.16.136.249
Current interface is on X1. There is a second WAN interface from a different IPS on X2 for failover.

network->interface->add interface
zone:wan
vlan tag 0 (or if your preexisting wan has a vlan which I highly doubt, use that)
parent interface x1
set the ip and whatever.
so its exactly the same as adding a second wan, except it just has a parent of the preexisting wan so it's a subinterface.

aarontomosky - Thanks for your response, have have this setup as a subinterface on the wan interface, but it is not responding. Cannot ping ip address of the interface.

Did you set up the WAN interface to respond to ping?
Do that if you have not already, then try pinging from Sonciwall diagnostics.

its set to vlan1. that means it will only accept tagged packets for vlan1 which your switch probably isn't putting out.
I just tried with mine and it won't let me put a vlan tag of 0, so unless your modem can push a vlan tag and your switch can let that pass tagged, onto option 2:
set x4 or whatever as a wan with the second subnet. Put in a switch inbetween the modem and the sonicwall. One wire to x1, one wire to x4

So, setup the vlan to vlan0?

After struggling to config the sonicwall for several hours, I discovered the net subnet was not configured properly in the IPS router. After a call to ISP tech support the problem was solved.
I also spoke with sonicwall and there are 2 ways to address this issues. You are put in a static arp address as carlmd suggested. And you can configure on another interface and use a switch from the ISP router.
Points split.
