4. Enter the domain name registered for your network in the Domain Name field.
An example of a domain name is "your-domain.com". If you do not have a domain
name, leave this field blank.
5. Select Set DNS Servers using the SonicWALL Network settings to use the
DNS servers that you specified in the SonicWALL Network section.
If you wish to use different DNS servers than the ones specified in the SonicWALL
Network section, then select Specify manually. Enter your DNS Server
addresses in the DNS Server 1, DNS Server 2, and DNS Server 3 fields. The
DNS servers are used by computers on your LAN to resolve domain names to IP
addresses. You only need to enter one DNS Server address, but multiple DNS
entries improve performance and reliability.
6. Enter your WINS Server address(es) in the WINS Server 1 and WINS Server
2 fields. WINS Servers resolve Windows-based computer names to IP addresses.
If you do not have a WINS server, leave these fields blank.
7. Dynamic Ranges are the ranges of IP addresses dynamically assigned by the
DHCP server. The Dynamic Ranges should be in the same subnet as the Son-
icWALL LAN IP Address.
Enter the beginning IP address of your LAN IP address range in the Range Start
field. Enter the ending IP address in the Range End field. Select the Allow BootP
clients to use range checkbox if you want BootP clients to receive IP leases.
Then click Update. When the SonicWALL has been updated, a message confirming
the update is displayed at the bottom of the browser window.
Continue this process until you have added all the desired dynamic ranges.
Note: The DHCP Server will not assign an IP address from the dynamic range if the
address is already being used by a computer on your LAN.
8. The DHCP Server can also assign Static Entries, or static IP addresses, to com-
puters on the LAN. Static IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require
permanent IP settings.
Enter the IP address assigned to your computer or server in the Static IP
Address field. Enter the Ethernet (MAC) address of your computer or server in the
Ethernet Address field. Then click Update. When the SonicWALL has been
updated, a message confirming the update is displayed at the bottom of your Web
browser window.
Continue this process until you have added all the desired static entries.
Note: The SonicWALL DHCP server may assign a total of 254 dynamic and static IP
addresses.
