Broadcom 5720 NICs

Mike Scott

Got a Dell PowerEdge R220 that has dual Broadcom 5720 NICs on the board, anyone using these NICs for Sophos XG?  About to rebuild Sophos XG on the Dell PowerEdge, it's got Untangle on it atm.  I have two spare PCI Intel NIC cards too 4 port 1000/PT and 2 port 1000/VT if I recall.  Considering not using them to try and reduce the extras in the server to lessen the power consumption.

 

Reason for the Sophos XG rebuild is primarily that the SSL inspection just comes up untrusted, even when the certs are correctly installed in the cert areas of Win 10.

    Your issue with the cert looks odd.

    Did you installed both CAs on the client? Could be the Default CA, whcih is used to create the own Cert.

    Yes I tried that.  It would work for some sites and then not others.  I'd then revisit the "working" sites and they'd then come up as untrusted.  I put Untangle in to check behaviour with that NGFW.  Worked fine for the most part.  

    So I was going to revisit the Sophos XG install either via a fresh install or reset the current install.  I have an Untangle license until May ish, but keep coming back to XG Home. Basic things like service groups you can't do in Untangle, they suggest a separate rule for UDP and another for TCP.  I mean really..

    Untangle is on the Atom E3845 unit atm, found the Atom too slow for the Sophos XG UI.

    I think both NGFW products are good, just personal preference etc.

    Did a fresh install last night and Broadcom NICs there alongside the Intel NICs on the PCIE riser card.  Will setup and test later.  If it was a Realtek card I wouldn't even entertain it.
