Bridged LAN and WAN as default setup? Why?

Greg Rogers

Can someone tell me why Sophos XG's first time setup now bridges the LAN and WAN into a br0 interface? I have to skip the entire setup just to get it to quit doing it.

    The reason is explained in the plain text above in routing wizard.

     

    (Software Appliance - If you use a hardware appliance, all interfaces are "selected" per default. You have to disable this.)

    Hi LuCar,

    so what you are advising if you only select one port during initial setup the XG will not go into bridge mode.

    Yes for sure. 

    It is just a default setting, which we wanted to set for the customer. 

    Most of them are happy with this, because they do not have to do anything in Case of initial setup. 

    Smaller boxes are most likely to bridge together. 

    As far as i know, we will build a extra popup for this in the wizard. Because in XG you have to do some kind of extra steps to break the Bridge, which is not nice.
