Make sure both of the OPT interfaces are configured to be on the same subnet, but different than the other two subnets you're referring to. &nbsp;Then create rulesets for this subnet to be routable from each Sonicwall to reach the subnets on the far end of each Sonicwall (each protected subnet), and this should work.

<div>
So static routes are required?

I have 2 TZ170's set up for 2 different clients. &nbsp;They are both running on different subnets.<br />

if I run a cable (patch - straight through) from the OPT port on each sonicwall, do I need to create a static route or does the Sonicwall automatically do this?<br />

Thanks.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
