replacement for sonicwall tz200

The Allworx is a phone PBX

http://www.allworx.com/phone_systems/48x.aspx

There are currently no address objects or rules in place on the Sonicwall for the Allworx as it stands right now so it doesn't need any heavy config, it just needs to be able to get out to the internet on the X2 interface.

id make x4 ( other end of the unit ) easy to identify etc etc. create a new zone, create it's own ip no need for dhcp maybe just a static. Then turn off trust so the 2 networks can't talk to each other.. :)


does it go out on the internet to provide voice ? ( sip ) ? if so you will want to turn on sip translations and the handler so it works, with out it, it won't work to well or at all.

The way I understand it and was temporarily demonstrated by plugging and unplugging cables is that with the WAN cable unplugged remote user phones were unable to register to the PBX. Internal phones were still able to make and receive calls to the world (my cell)

There is a separate PRI connection in the building that also goes to the Allworx,

you see them all on the back ?

I bet you have them all linked together :) you need to remove it from the other ( shit can't remember the name ) once you remove it you can set it up as a new zone.
 
ok , progress. You were right, the other interfaces included X4 were set to X0 as the PortShield Interface, I changed them to unassigned and now I can modify X4.

Creating a new zone, what do I want for security type? Public? and like you mentioned before I should uncheck the box for allow interface trust?
 
un-check interface trust, NOW doing so you might need to make a rule to talk to your pbs ( interface if there is a gui )

Alright, I put in on a new 192.168.61.x subnet. I'm remote until late when I can actually take the small switch out and plug right into ports directly on the Sonicwall.

The Allworx GUI is reached at 192.168.41.254, are you talking about a rule between zones or a more specific rule?

between zones,

Example, all admin computers can talk to that other zone * yours and other tech * but no one else.. You could assume you already know why right ?

of course!

I hope creating the trust between those zones won't cause the same issue that the small netgear switch was having, otherwise I'll be back at square one.

Let us know, im also available to help remotely later tonight if you need some..
 
I vote Cisco ASA5505.

We use old Barracudas here at work for our Spam and Webfilter. They are the 300 and 400 series I believe. We just had a PSU die in one, cracked her open, here it's a shitty MSI board with a no-name PSU and no-name RAM. It had SATA onboard, but no, they had to use IDE because they just had to cheap it out as much as possible. I wasn't impressed. The actual filtering works great however, but the hardware is cheap. I don't know if it's improved at all since then.

Comments like this are stupid and biased.

Cisco is over priced. <-- This is a true statement.

Barracuda is affordable and reliable, if it was not people wouldn't buy it. It is not Cisco, so as a company they have to make sure there products work because its hurts their bottom line twice as much when people like you write stupid crap on forums because "oh my gosh you opened one up and some MSI board was in it" ZOMG!

I am not trying to get in to a e-weenie war,

Also a UTM, is a UTM, is a UTM. It makes no difference what brand you buy.

You pay for brand, warranty, and support, if you find a company that meets your needs well use them. If you find opensource is better, use it.

As for this topic, I have had zero luck with Sonicwalls unless I use the built in wizard features and as long as I use the built in features, everything always seems to work and stay working.

I would also call Sonicwall ask them what logs they want you to send them and send them those logs, even if the product isn't under support, there is a good chance they will help resolve this problem for you.

Quick fix, write down your rules, ISP information, and network device IP, and reset the device, use the wizards to setup the appliance and see if your problem is resolved. This wouldn't take very long anyways.
