Bridging a interface and rules

David Zambrano

Our ISP only gave us one active port to the internet and our XG is using that sole port. I have the need to install another appliance at the perimeter and would hate to have to install a switch when I'd like to use an unused port on the XG. Is it possible to setup a bridge on the WAN port without having to redo all the rules? This is on a 115w with v18 mr3

    Hello David,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    So, if you have Port2 as WAN, and Port3 is empty and you want to bridge these two ports together as a WAN interface it won't allow you to. 

    If you want to install both of your devices with a public WAN you would, unfortunately, have to put a small switch between the XG and the Modem of your ISP.

    Regards,
