Depending on how the SonicWALL is configured wireless traffic would be on VLAN 2 and the Sonicpoint management traffic would be on VLAN 5. If the SonicWALL is setup to route traffic and security zones are correct the wireless on VLAN 2 will be able to talk to normal LAN traffic with the SonicWALL handling the routing.<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to set up a configuration in which I have a SonicPoint at one end of a building connected to a series of switches that ultimately leads to a SonicWALL at the other end of the building. &nbsp;SonicWALL has told me that I'll need to use VLANs to achieve this. &nbsp;They want me to configure a chain of traffic (SonicWALL ---&gt; switch 1 ---&gt; switch 2 ---&gt; switch 3 ---&gt; SonicPoint) where VLAN 2 is tagged and another dummy VLAN (I've used 5) is untagged. &nbsp;Here's my concern - all regular network traffic is passed over the default VLAN (1), and this is currently untagged on all ports on all switches. &nbsp;If I change the connection between the switches to VLAN 5, will this affect normal network traffic?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Question about VLANs with SonicWALL TZ210/SonicPoint Ni

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

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.
