Configuring the WXA Series Appliance
Configuring Network Interfaces
The initial configuration of the WXA series appliance should be performed by using the WXA
Setup Wizard, which is available by clicking the Wizards button in the top-right corner of the
NSA/TZ series appliance’s management interface. However, this is currently only available if
running SonicOS 5.9 firmware. If your NSA/TZ series appliance is using 5.8.1.x or 6.1.x
firmware use the procedures in this chapter for the initial configuring of the WXA series
appliance. For more information on the WXA Setup Wizard refer to the SonicOS 5.9
Administrator’s Guide.
The initial setup includes configuring network interfaces for the WXA series appliance, enabling
the WAN Acceleration service, and creating a static DHCP lease for the WXA series appliance.
All configuration procedures are performed on the NSA/TZ series appliance’s management
interface.
For licensing information, refer to the WXA 500 Live CD Getting Started Guide or WXA 5000
Virtual Appliance Getting Started Guide.
After completing the initial configuration steps in this chapter, refer to Configuring TCP
Acceleration on page 47 and Configuring WFS Acceleration on page 97 to configure the TCP
and WFS Acceleration services.
Note This configuration example uses the X5 interface, but you can use any spare interface on
the NSA/TZ security appliance.
