I trying to configuring a sonicwall tz500. I have a internal AD server with DHCP and DNS for the domain. 10.0.0.5 is the address of dhcp and DNS. question is on the LAN 0X interface, do I assign it a static IP in the domain range? Also what would the gateway be? I want the traffic to flow out to WAN. Is there something I need to add in the DHCP? The WAN is connected to a internet through DSL modem and receives a IP and everything fine. When I currently connect, the PC's in the domain still can talk to each other and print. Thank you for your help in advanced.

You do the same as you will do on a Linksys, except the interface is not the same.
do I assign it a static IP in the domain range?
Yes. Same range as your LAN. aka 10.0.0.x
Also what would the gateway be?
Nothing, you are the gateway of your LAN.
Is there something I need to add in the DHCP?
Give the router IP to be the gateway for computer in the LAN.

okay, so give the ip in the LAN, but the LAN currently has a active directory domain with 15 pcs and few printers, that receive there ips from the dhcp and dns server on the domain controller. There is a 24 port switch that has all the devices plugged into. I understand that the LAN ip assigned to that port is the gateway. But how does the domain know what the gateway is? don't I have to add something into the dhcp on the DC to redirect the traffic to the gateway? oh and thank you for the response. – sunnys Oct 05 '15 at 19:42

@sunnys in the dhcp you give the gateway ip, so all client will know it after – yagmoth555 Oct 05 '15 at 20:52

Okay got it, thanks for your help! defined it in the dhcp scope to point to the assigned ip by me. Also placed a reservation, don't know if it needed it. The current gateway defined in the scope is 10.0.0.254, would it have made since that I assign that ip to the LAN port? – sunnys Oct 07 '15 at 20:31

@sunnys HI, yes, a reservation does not hurt. Just be sure nothing else got that ip in big. (the reservation help as it would never give that ip to another computer) – yagmoth555 Oct 08 '15 at 13:25
