Sophos XG Home: Select interfaces or allow > 5 ?

scoobydooxp

The server I have in my lab has 4x10G SFP+ and 4x1gbit ethernet built into the board. Sophos is detecting the 4xSFP+ and only 1x1gbit. Is there anyway to force Sophos to see all 8 or have it ignore the 4x10G SFP+? It looks like Linux under the hood but I'm not sure which flavor. It does not look like RHEL/Debian/Ubuntu so I could not find anywhere to blacklist the i40e driver that the SFP+ ports use.

Thank you!

    Hi,

    I would suspect that the NICs are i219 series which are not supported by XG. You could try using a VM, then install the XG on that .

    The 4x10G SFP+ use the i40e and the 4x1G all use the i350 driver when running Debian.

    Hi,

    those i350s are supported, so something has gone wrong with the installation, possibly overlapping PCI motherboard slots so the installation does not see the i350 chips.

    The 10GB driver is not what rfcat_vk was talking about. Do you have details on your hardware? As he said, Intel i219 based ports are not supported.

    Ok I cracked her open and both are not onboard. The onboard is 4x10GB Sfp+ Intel x710. In the pcie slot is a 4 port 1GB base-t Intel i350-T4.

     Dell PE 630, E5-2623 4 core, 16GB ram, 2x 256gb ssd.

     As mentioned above, Sophos xg sees the 4x 10GB sfp+ and 1x1GB. Linux and FreeBSD (opnsense) see and can use all 8. The 5 interfaces seems to be a Sophos limitation which is fine if I could pick the 4x i350 1gb ports.

    Hello,

    on a server like that, I would simply install ESXi and and then install Sophos XG as a virtual machine.

    Using the VM image this is working like a charm.
