Sonicwall - Creating Routing Rules

-
You did basic Sonicwall set up on Sonicwall. 👍 Everything works fine when you connect on management VLAN*, however you can't connect to internet (also sonicwall) once you are on different VLANs.
WHY?
All vlan IP ranges must be in the sonicwall. (If you have only one LAN, you do not need to create a routing rule since there is a default rule.) You need to create routing rules for VLANS range. Otherwise, they can't connect to internet. You can do it several ways. I show you 2 ways.

Way1: Create an IP ranges which includes all IP addresses in the network.
1- Create an address object for IP ranges.
2- Create an address object for the gateway host. 

3- Create a routing rule.
***  Every Vlan has its gateway on meraki switch. All vlans routes to sonicwall. and sonicwall is a member of VLAN 120. So, sonicwall's gateway is x.x.120.1.
That is the reason when we put a sonicwall route rule, we put x.x.120.1 as the gateway.

Way2: Create routing rules for every each vlans.
1- Create address objects for each VLANs.
2- Make them group by creating address groups.
3- Create an address object for the gateway host.
4- Create a routing rule by using address group and gateway host.


* It is the main vlan which has the switches. You can also use Sonicwall DHCP feature for this VLAN. If you want to go this way, you need to enable DHCP server on Sonicwall and disable DHCP on Cisco Meraki. (Navigate to Routing&DHCP. Choose VLAN which includes switch and disable it.) If you want to go with DHCP feature of Meraki, DON'T forget to change management VLAN settings. Navigate to Switches>> switch settings >> management vlans: 120

General Printer Errors

Q: When I send a print to the copier it takes several minutes to print ! A:   The reason can be the size of the file and the resolution. (What are the size of the file and how many pages?) or driver issue (needs to update latest version) or printer firmware issue (needs to update latest version) or speed negotiation issue (set speed/duplex manually on both ends (switch and copier)). Q: The address label doesn't fit on the paper! A:   Make sure that it fits the page. You will see it when you goes the print > more settings (The scale may not 100%. ) Q: The wifi drops down! A:   I recommend you to do the followings: Check the printer firmware. (Refer the manufacturer website.) Check your machine wifi capability and you network band. (2.4GHz or 5 GHz) Check your network minimum bitrate (Mbps) Be careful! increasing or decreasing it may affect your network, if you have close AP in the building. Try usb cable no longer than 2 meters. (Some devices do...

Don't repeat any code! If you do that, there is something wrong. Don't dry (don't repeat yourself) It is a Case-Sensitive language. Keep your variable lower case letters. No space, If you need, use _ .  Ex: my_language print ('Hello World') print(f"{kind} kilos ")     # kind is a variable which defined before. name= input (' What is your name? ') str: All input are str (default). You need to convert them int or float to make calculation float int ' ' '  You can write whatever you want here ' ' ' word= "Python and Mr.G" print (word[0:4])  ==> Pyth      0 is P.  4 is o. But the last one is excluded. Examples: print (word[2])     ==> t print (word[-1])     ==> G print (word[2:5])     ==> tho print(word[1:-1])  ==> ython and Mr. Function = Methods message.upper()                   # to convert to uppercase message...
