BGP Loopback / Best Practice on Sophos

Hi There,

I have a Sophos XG set up with BGP routing. I am curious as without the ability to implement a loopback where would the best place to implement the alias be on the device if i am then creating a port forward from the public range to the LAN.

Option 1: Should i put the route able /24 alias' on the WAN port (WAN may go offline / bgp will fail over however don't think alias would be working correctly?)

Option 2: Implement the alias on a LAN port which will plug into a switch but otherwise be unused except for having alias (will port forward work from LAN with public ip's to LAN with private IP's?)

 

Anyway pretty sure someone has run into this limitation so might have a solution, appreciate any assistance.

 

Regards,

 

Adrian
