Description
There are two SonicWalls, Site A and Site B.
- Site A and Site B are connected by using a point to point link layer 2 device.
- Site A's X5 Interface was assigned to the LAN Zone, which means that by default Site B has access to Site A's LAN .
- There is no existing VPN between Site A and Site B.
- The Internet traffic from the Site B network has to go through the Site A SonicWall.
- If the point to point link to Site A goes down then the Site B network will access the Internet through the local Site B DSL line
Site A
- LAN IP is: 10.29.1.1
- WAN IP is : 72.35.91.2
- X5 Interface IP is: 10.33.1.2
Site B
- LAN IP is : 192.168.168.168
- WAN IP is: 12.12.12.12
- X5 Interface IP is: 10.33.1.1
