a) Wouldn't recommend it. It's no different than linking 2 switches with a cross cable - if your switches don't have spanning trees enabled you've just created an ethernet loop and brought down your network. b) Yes c) Generally so Joe Heaton wrote: > Is it ever a good idea to bridge two NICs ins

Yeah - I will admit though that there was one particular time when OS versions were a serious issue. About 3 years ago, I was building out a network of a central Sonicwall 2040 running Pro with six or eight spoke Sonicwall TZ units...and a few of them just would not connect, period, until the OS w

+1 I've NEVER had any problem getting a variety of SonicWALL models to talk to other vendor's equipment. Frequently it's simply a matter of knowing the appropriate magical incantations. Sure they have problems with Cisco *under certain conditions*, but that's Cisco's fault, not SonicWALLs. Many t

They make a fine firewall, but as the other poster said, VPN functionality with other systems can be funky. I've used Sonicwall's in the past and found them to be a breeze to manage. BUT, after my last support experience I vowed never to do business with them again and went with an ASA at my last
