I cant test and deploy the firewall during op hours. What I want to achieve is an Internet connection with the firewall so I can update all the policies and procedures before I go live.<br />
<br />
Thanks

how do I configure a sonicwall firewall offline, e.g. have al lInternet to enable services, register, etc. &nbsp;I assume that I insert one Cat 5 from my switch into the WAN port and another cat 5 into my laptop. &nbsp;I'm wondering what I need to configure to get Internet access while doing this...I believe I need to change my WAN settings to my local LAN but getting an error because of the same subnet.<br />

configure sonicwall firewall offline

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.
