XG Firewall Home Edition on SG Hardware

I get running Sophos XG on a ASG120 rev.4 :)

Hi Nemo, Please can you advise how you managed to get this working.
Many thanks..

Normally the WebAdmin needs to be reachable when the device answers pings or portscans. I saw some threads about browserproblems. Did you test another browser?

Hi Nemo,

It's definitely not a browser issue.. The first set of port scans i submitted were for the UTM 120 version5 and the Web Admin ports were closed. The second set of port scan was a VM and the Web Admin ports were open.

I don't suppose you have a version 5 you can test and see how it goes?
I did pose this question to Sophos themselves but no one has come back to me..

Hi Tony,

I tested it for you and it's working:

I installed the SFOS 15.01.0-376 Software ISO for Home purpose. Keep in mind that it's eth4 for "Port1" to reach the WebAdmin!

OMG Thanks Nemo for doing this (It's like Sophos Porn!! :)) I'm aware of the ports reversing, as stated earlier.. I have the port right as i get a dynamic IP on the correct range.. And i can ping the 172.16.16.16 IP.. I wonder if this is a revision issue.. Its a bit bizzare this scenario.. I'm going to try and get my hands on a rev4 and try again. This is a pretty straight forward process..

I did this on a Sophos UTM 120 Rev 5 as well.. As previously mentioned, the NIC order has been reversed... I will give SG105 Rev 2 a try tommorow.

I Have tried on my SG105 and it's of course not working. I tried unplugging the ssd disk to see if there's something on the harddrive telling the installer that it's an appliance. I have tried looking in the BIOS to see if the serial number from the label on the bottom is in there somewhere, but it seems like it's not. I can't find it anyways.

I have tried installing the old Copernicus Beta 2 to see if i could use my home license with that, but it's reading my serial number from somewhere and won't allow me to change it..

The last discovery i did is that the bootloader isn't installed on the ssd disk.. I got the choose firmware prompt and starting firmware 15.0.XX when the ssd disk was wiped by dd. It did of course not start since the disk was cleared, but it tried.. So that must indicate that the bootloader is installed somewhere else.

So presently you have a non functioning 105?

Is there by change not a hidden partition you are not seeing with the bootloader or can you get to the bootloader without the drive plugged?

So you have a non functioning 105 presently?
Is it possible a hidden partition has been created on the drive that you are not seeing?

So you have a 105 that is basically a brick until you can figure out how to reload?

Is it possible a hidden partition has been created on the drive that you are not seeing? Have you tried a different disk?

No i installed SFOS again using the Hardware iso, so it's up and running again. My trial has expired so I might have to migrate my UTM9 license (there's only 6months left anyway).. Hmm i don't think there's a hidden partition since it could start the firmware loader with an unplugged harddrive.. There must be some kind of little storage partition in there.
