automatically negotiate the speed and duplex mode of the Ethernet connection. If you want to specify the
forced Ethernet speed and duplex, select one of the following options from the Link Speed menu:

You can choose to override the Default MAC Address for the Interface by selecting Override Default
MAC Address and entering the MAC Address in the field.
Alert!
If you select a specific Ethernet speed and duplex, you must force the connection speed and duplex
from the Ethernet card to the SonicWALL as well.
Configuring the WAN Interface
1. Click on the Notepad icon in the Configure column for the WAN or Unassigned Interface you want
to configure. The Edit Interface window is displayed.
2. If you're configuring an Unassigned Interface, select WAN from the Zone menu. If you selected the
Default WAN Interface, WAN is already selected in the Zone menu.
3. Select one of the following WAN Network Addressing Mode from the IP Assignment menu.
Depending on the option you choose from the IP Assignment menu, complete the corresponding
fields that are displayed after selecting the option.
Static - configures the SonicWALL for a network that uses static IP addresses.
DHCP - configures the SonicWALL to request IP settings from a DHCP server on the Internet. NAT
with DHCP Client is a typical network addressing mode for cable and DSL customers.
PPPoE - uses Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) to connect to the Internet. If desktop
software and a username and password is required by your ISP, select NAT with PPPoE. This
protocol is typically found when using a DSL modem.
PPTP - uses PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) to connect to a remote server. It supports older
Microsoft Windows implementations requiring tunneling connectivity.
L2TP - uses IPSec to connect a L2TP server and encrypts all data transmitted from the client to the
server. However, it does not encrypt network traffic to other destinations. L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling
Protocol) is supported by Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If you are running other versions of
Windows, you must use PPTP as your tunneling protocol.
