SonicWall NSA 250M + Powerconnect 6248

Hi

At this moment we have a flat network:

ISP <-> Sonicwall WAN (X1)

Sonicwall LAN (X0) <-> 6248 (2 Stack)

Sonicwall X1 is configured with static IP provided by ISP. X0 is connected to one of the 6248 with /24 ip series. In powerconnect, there is a VLAN 80 configured and all the ports are under VLAN 80.

Now I want to configure in a different way:

ISP <-> port 1 of 6248

port 2 <-> Sonicwall WAN 

Port 3 (Need to use as a gateway IP for some servers as ISP gave us few public ip's). Want to use some ip's for PPTP server and some other servers.

port 4 Mirror of port 1 or port 2 for IDS (Want to install snort)

from port 5 to 10 I want to connect to 3 esxi hosts

11 to 48 of switch 1 for user data port and switch 2 port 1 to 40 for voip pabx.

Can anybody please help me configure this? Any suggestion is also welcome to change the above scenario to make it more functional.

Hi,

Are you staying with just vlan 80? Is there going to be a router between the ISP and the 6248 on port 1? This switch isn’t designed to be a device that connects directly to the internet. You might not need to do all of this rewiring and just use VLANs to separate the network and use a trunk port to have all of the VLANs go to the Sonicwall and then ISP.

 

For port mirroring, page 451 of the CLI guide shows how to configure that ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powerconnect/powerconnect-6248_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

 

You would probably want to create VLANs for the servers that need public IP addresses, the ESXi hosts, user data ports and voip ports.

 

For the public IP addresses do 1:1 NAT mapping on the sonicwall to point the external IPs to internal ones.

Hi Josh

Thanks for your reply. I was planning to create few VLANs:

VLAN 10 for internet

VLAN 20 for servers

VLAN 30 for user 

VLAN 40 for VOIP

Lets see where it ends. I will knock you again if I stuck somewhere. Thanks for your help.
