RED and Bridge

Hi Wolfgang Ritter1 

You may bridge the RED and LAN network if you want. This is possible by using this KBA: Sophos XG Firewall: How to configure a LAN and RED devices to be on the same network. Let me know if this helps or not.

Hi Jaydeep

i changed the mode to bridge and it works. Had a problem with the access from the RED side. Forgot to open the WAN port for administration.

But i have another problem, now.

I had to add a new DHCP so far is it ok. Port1 and RED are not available anymore. Instead of this two interfaces i have the bridge interface, now.

The funny part is, that the DHCP doesn't place the predefined IP addresses to the mac addresses. By the leases are written dynamic instead static. Is there a known error?

Thanks
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang Ritter1 

I have not heard of any such error. So you mean to say that, IP addressed are not assigned to the same machine when they ask for IP renewal? That can only happen if the device is running short of IP addresses and had assigned that IP address to other machine when the lease expired.

Hi Jaydeep

I can't think that i am short of IP addresses. I would say i am short of daylight [:$] and time.

During the preparation of screenshots i found an MAC retyping error (my windows and dns server). My NAS wasn't able to fetch the correct IP address without a restart of them.

At this time it seems ok for me. Not all static IP's are shown at least on the ex RED interface, but i see a few dynamic IP's on both ex interfaces which are so far ok.

A final conclusion has to wait until the weekend, if i am on my weekend location again.

Thanks was a great help and hurting process for me.

Learning effect to define everything at the beginning, if i setup the firewall. For this i have my home version.

Thanks again
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang Ritter1 

Glad to know that it's working good so far. Feel free to post here if you get any bumps along the road. Or create a new post for any new query that you might have.
