Install XG Home on Protectli fw2b device

Robert Molina

I am trying to configure XG home on a Protectli Vault fw2b device. XG Home software is SFOS 18.0.1 MR-1-Build386.

It installed successfully and I was initially able to access it using SSH, but could not access it using the browser to its IP address 192.168.10.1:4444.  I have attempted to change the IP addresses, but still no success. When I connect my laptop to the LAN port, I get link and activity lights, but I cannot ping it at all right now.  Here is the results from running  arp -a

Interface: 192.168.10.2 --- 0x29
  Internet Address      Physical Address      Type
  192.168.10.255        ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff     static
  224.0.0.22            01-00-5e-00-00-16     static
  224.0.0.251           01-00-5e-00-00-fb     static
  224.0.0.252           01-00-5e-00-00-fc     static
  239.255.255.250       01-00-5e-7f-ff-fa     static
  255.255.255.255       ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff     static

At this point, I am clueless what my next step should be. Should I reinstall the XG software?

When I built my first XG home firewall, I had to create a bridge for the LAN to work. Can anyone provide me with assistance?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    you don't need a bridge to connect to your device.

    Does your PC get an IP address from the XG. How did you connect the XG to change the IP address?

    Sounds like you are trying to connect to the external interface which is disabled for external access by default.

    The Protectli Vault fw2b has WAN and a LAN ports. When the Sophos firewall software is installed, the WAN port becomes port 1 and the LAN port becomes port 2. This effectively switches their roles.
