Sophos XG v18 Dual WAN one green one red both active

Victoria Elizabeth

Cheers

I have a Sophos xg ver 3  unit with v18.  The Dual WAN gets setup and Shows connected under network.  Both WANS are given DHCP addressess.   The XG shows both green for 60 seconds then it chooses one green and one red.  The one marked red will not allow traffic through.  The rules and NAT allow traffic through both WAN ports.

I would like both to be active and transfering data like on our Sophos UTM.

I tested this on a Sophos XG home version and  the same issue occurs.

I tried to delete the failover action at the botton of each wan port under WAN link manager but Sophos stated it had to be there.

NOTE:  Under Control Center and then performance its states that the WAN port that is red is not connected.

When using our Sophos UTM we setup two WAN ports going to the same WAN out device.  This device issues two separate DHCP addressess and we are able to send data out either way.

With Sophos XG if both WAN ports go out to this same device it seems XG only allows one to be active.  Is this part of XG.

Is the solution to try and setup LAG on the XG WAN ports.

    Yes they are in the same subnet.

    So on the second WAN I set a static IP of say 10.10.11.36  with gateway of 10.10.11.1.  Then put alias of 192.168.153.48. 

    (Note the 153 was the IP when I setup the port with DHCP originally.)

    So do I use a firewall rule or a NAT rule to have the 10.10.11.1 traffic gateway go out the 192.168.153.48 and onto 192.168.153.1
