# Configure SonicWall Routers in the Old Web Interface

## Objective

Configuring a SonicWall router in the old web interface.

## Applies To

- SonicWall

## Procedure

The purpose of this article is to provide a **sample configuration**. At the time of article creation, this device was in a known working state on the firmware used. **Keep in mind different firmware versions will interact with hosted VoIP services in different ways.** While this device may be fully functional on the tested and/or current firmware version, it is possible newer revisions will cause disruptions in service or make a device fully compliant with the required settings for hosted VoIP services where it was previously not.

### SonicWall Old Interface

Tested on the following firmware versions:

- Firmware Version 6.5.x.x and later

**Adding or editing 8x8 subnets is recommended when available**. For subnet information, see [X Series Technical Requirements](/support/docs/x-series-technical-requirements).

We highly recommend consulting an IT or network professional when configuring advanced network settings or devices. NAT issues causing duplicate ports have been reported for firmware version 6.2.3.1.-1.9n.

### Disable Consistent NAT and SIP Transformations

1. Go to **VoIP** > **Settings**.
2. Check the box for **Enable Consistent NAT** and uncheck the box for **Enable SIP Transformations**. ![SonicWall_Old_Interface_Settings-600x569.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/10351?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T21%3A52%3A52Z&se=2026-11-03T22%3A52%3A52Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=jpNzA85G5fKr0x3KMmTfLy7vbPUQCaYaCMaE%2FHA9XUA%3D)

## Known Issues

- SonicWall TZ400 requires Consistent NAT to be on. The exception to this would be if the TZ400 is on firmware version SonicOS Enhanced 6.2.5.3-35n. With this firmware version, disable Consistent NAT.
- Firmware version 6.2.3.x causes Duplicate UDP ports regardless of NAT settings.
- Firmware verion 6.2.7 has DPI (deep packet inspection) under access groups on NSA series, which causes CQ issues despite rules added in.
- Firmware verion 6.2.7.7 23n (and higher): 802.1p tagging breaks phone connectivity.
