XG - pointopoint configuration - automatic script after boot?

maxUTM

Hello,

i finally got the XG working on a HETZNER datacenter, with pointopoint configuration.

Many thanks to this thread: https://community.sophos.com/products/xg-firewall/f/initial-setup/91528/initial-setup-from-serial-console

But the XG forgets the necessary settings after every reboot, so i need to do this after every boot:

CLI:
1. enter admin password
2. select 5. device management
3. select 3. advanced shell
4. ifconfig Port1 pointopoit gateway-ip-address
5. route add default gw gateway-ip-address

after that i can access the webinterface via WAN.

is there any possibility to automatically do 4. and 5. after a reboot?

I just don't want to do that manually every time.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

    XG does not support WAN Point to Point interfaces. Thats the reason, the WEB Gui is prevent to do so. 

    We can achieve this with custom gateway and SD-WAN PBR(Policy based Routing):

    Create WAN Interface base static route for gw IP in different subnet.
    Add a custom Gateway for gw IP. Use that custom gw in PBR.

    So basically configure the Interface as a normal interface.

    Create a route / gateway for this interface to WAN. 

    Use PBR or static routing to route everything to that direction.
