    Description

    It is not currently possible to directly assign more than a single IP address to a primary or secondary WAN interface, but the SonicWall appliance is capable of answering on behalf of a 1-2-1 NAT policy set up for a network resource. This would be useful in environments where an ISP has assigned a customer multiple dissimilar public IP subnet blocks, and the customer wishes to use IP addresses from these blocks to provide access to internal network resources. One solution is to have the ISP configure upstream routing to point these subnets to the fixed IP address of the primary or secondary WAN interfaces of the SonicWall. An alternative is to configure static ARP and routing on the SonicWall to respond to a second IP subnet. You would do this by configuring a Static ARP entry for the secondary WAN subnet and adding a route for that subnet to the routing table.

    • ISP provided primary subnet configured on the X1 (WAN) interface: 1.1.1.0/24.
    • Additional block of IP addresses provided by the ISP: 2.2.2.0/24. 
    • SMTP Server in the LAN to be accessed from outside using 2.2.2.50.

    Resolution

    Resolution for SonicOS 7.X

    This release includes significant user interface changes and many new features that are different from the SonicOS 6.5 and earlier firmware. The below resolution is for customers using SonicOS 7.X firmware.

    1. Login to the SonicWall management interface.
    2. Click NETWORK on the top bar and navigate to the SYSTEM | ARP | Static ARP Entries page and click on the ADD button.
      Image
    3. IP Address: 2.2.2.1 (specify an IP address from the additional subnet)
      Interface: WAN / X1 (because the additional subnet resides on the WAN interface) 
      Publish Entry - Enabling this option causes SonicWall to respond to ARP queries for the specified IP address with SonicWall's MAC address. This box must be checked when creating additional subnets. 
    4. Click on Save.

    Creating a Static Route

    1.   Navigate to the OBJECT| Match Objects page.
    2.  Creating a new Address Object

      Name: the Address Object for your secondary subnet
      Zone: WAN  
      Type: Network
      Network: Enter the Network ID of the Secondary subnet
      Click: Save
    3.  Navigate to the POLICY| Rules and Policies page.
    4. Creating new Custom Rules.

      Image

       NOTE: The SonicWall will not respond to ICMP/SNMP/HTTP/HTTPS management traffic on a published Static ARP IP address.

    Configuring a SMTP server behind SonicWall with the new WAN subnet

    The SMTP server at 192.168.168.100 will be NATed to 2.2.2.50 ip address when going out to the Internet. Likewise, the SMTP server can be access from the outside using IP address 2.2.2.50.

    • Create a public and a private address object for the SMTP server (For the same, please navigate to Objects | Address Objects  ).
