Sophos XG in Gateway or Bridge mode

Hi,

Just need to double check something I am attempting to setup Sophos XG Home firewall at my house. My setup is going to be:

ISP Router --> Sophos PC --> Switch --> Wifi and wired devices

The PC has two interfaces - one onboard & one on a PCIe card.

The ISP router is the DHCP provider as well as the router & modem. It hands out a 192.168.1.* IP addresses to all internal devices.

Do I setup the Sophos PC in bridge or gateway mode? I have tried bridge but it brought down the network. So not sure if the interfaces are logically 1 and 2 (ie 1 - onboard, 2 - PCIe).

Any help would be appreciated.

I am always recommend to use the XG as a Gateway.

Simply to use everything as designed. So you use the DHCP server on XG for your internal devices and set the WAN interface of XG as DHCP client.

Many thanks for that. Are there any default firewall rules I need to put in place for this?
