Supported Topologies
Before setting up the interface between the appliance and the switch, learn about provisioning, configuring, and setting up these topologies in the SonicWall SonicOS X-Series Solution Deployment Guide found on the Support portal at https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation/ by selecting TZ Series in the Select A Product field.
For basic details on configuring PortShield interfaces with X-Series switches, see Managing Ports.
The key supported topologies for X-Series switch support are:
- Common uplink configuration
- Dedicated uplink configuration
SonicPoints must be portshielded through the port that is part of the dedicated link.
- Hybrid configuration with common and dedicated uplink(s)
- Shared link configuration for both management and data traffic
- Isolated links for management and data uplinks
- HA and PortShield configurations with dedicated uplink(s)
- HA and PortShield configurations with a common uplink
- VLAN(s) with common uplinks through SPM configuration
- VLAN(s) with dedicated uplink(s) configuration
- Dedicated link for SonicPoint access
