Noob question on XG Firewall Free for Home original setup

kyle breit

I have downloaded the XG Firewall Free for Home and have obtained a serial number.

I have installed it on a very old X7 1u SuperMicro (which only has 32bit CPU) and 4GB RAM.

Here is my noob question as I've only ever used an Asus Wifi Router.

Incoming COAX cable from ISP going into Cable Modem

CAT6 cable from Cable Modem goes into SuperMicro / Sophos XG LAN01

CAT6 cable from SuperMicro / Sophos LAN02 goes into 24port Switch port 01

For now, this will not offer any Wifi. https://nox.tips/

    Hello Kyle,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    Your Cabling seems to be ok, just notice that by default Port1 will have IP 172.16.16.16 and Port 2 is configured for DHCP (Usually used for WAN), you can change this from the console during the initial configuration or in the GUI after the initial configuration.

    Regards,
