Sonicwall 2040 Setup For VPN

[detroit]

Hello to all!

I have 2 sites that each have a Sonicwall 2040 firewall at each site

Both internal IP schemes are 192.168.3.x

I want to connect the two sites together so that they act as 1 network.

I have email and web setup at the one site, and no servers here yet.

I have tried using the site to site VPN, but I see no tunnels

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Brian,

Each internal network has to have its own IP schemes e.g. 192.168.3.X for your main location and 192.168.4.X for your remote site in order to establish a tunnel. Once the tunnel is established resources from each site should be able to communicate across the tunnel if the correct firewall rules are in place e.g. LAN > VPN.

I think there is a way to do it if both sonicwall devices are running Enhanced OS, but it is rather difficult. Andrew's method is simple and sure to work.
