Routes

If you have routers on your Local Area Network (LAN), Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), or Wide Area
Network (WAN), you can configure Static Routes on the SonicWALL.

Tip On the TELE3 TZ and TELE3 TZX, the LAN is labeled WorkPort and the DMZ is labeled HomePort.
Click Advanced on the left side of the browser window, and then click the Routes tab.
Static routes must be defined if the LAN, DMZ, or WAN are segmented into subnets, either for size
or practical considerations. For example, a subnet can be created to isolate a section of a company,
such as finance, from traffic on the rest of the LAN, DMZ, or WAN.
The SonicWALL LAN IP Address, LAN Subnet, WAN IP Address, and WAN/DMZ Subnet are displayed
in the Current Network Settings section. Refer to these settings when configuring your Static
Routes.The SonicWALL LAN IP Address, LAN Subnet Mask, WAN IP Address and WAN/DMZ Subnet
Mask are displayed in the Current Network Settings section. .
To add Static Route entries, complete the following instructions:
1. Enter the destination network of the static route in the Dest. Network field. The destination

network is the IP address subnet of the remote network segment.

Tip If the destination network uses IP addresses ranging from "192.168.1.1" to "192.168.1.255",
enter "192.168.1.0" in the Dest. Network field.
2. Enter the subnet mask of the remote network segment in the Subnet mask field.
3. Enter the IP address of your router in the Gateway field. This IP address should be in the same

subnet as the SonicWALL. If your router is located on the SonicWALL LAN, the Gateway address
should be in the same subnet as the SonicWALL LAN IP Address.

4. Select the port on the SonicWALL that the router is connected to either the LAN, the WAN, or the

DMZ, from the Link list.

5. Click Update. Once the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming the update is

displayed at the bottom of the Web browser window. Restart the SonicWALL for the change to
take effect.

Tip The SonicWALL can support up to 128 static route entries.
