How to get an AP10 recognized when xg is a VM

Good Afternoon!

I have been trying for the better part of a week to get wireless working on my Sophos XG vm. I am running on ESXi 6.7.

I have deployed the ova several times and also flashed the AP10 with the recovery tool.

No matter what I try I can't get the Wireless AP to show up in available wireless devices, or the Wireless interface to report anything other than unplugged.

I have 3 NICs.

- WAN out to the internet

- LAN Trunked 4095 VLAN

- Wifi a vlan on a portgroup directly to the physical nic on the esxi host where the AP10 is plugged in.

How do I get it to be seen? Ive tried lots of different ideas, but I am drawing a blank at this time.

Thanks!

Hi,

on the wifi vlan do you have a DHCP server enabled?

Please provide a simple drawing of how the AP is connected, your description is not clear to me.

Hey There!

Thanks for helping me out. Here's the current view of my environment.

Is there any way to get the Blue GuestAP interface to not show "unplugged"?

Since my AP10 is added to a port group and that port group has a nic on the sophos xg, I can see it shows up as Port 3

I have flashed the AP

I have re-spun a test vm to see if the configuration has to be set prior to install.

Yep I have a DHCP scope enabled for the wifi zone.

Additionally, I have added port3 to the wifi zone.
