Just to add this experience to others that may user AP55C on central with XG(S).
Also read: register-ap55c-to-sophos-central-behind-xgs
This also works with any other Central-supported Sophos AP. We've set this up with APX320,530 on other sites with XGS and XG.
we set up the AP in Central but because there is a lack of feature:
- Only Central Admins can manage Voucher, not normal users with voucher hotspot on Sophos Central
we decided to the AP55C with Voucher on XGS Wireless Protection.
There was the big question if the AP55C would be able to connect to Central, after we re-enable Wireless protection or if XGS would intercept the communication and force the AP to be down because they are not supported "unknown AP model encountered: AP55C, dropping".
It works!
1. Management VLAN on XGS with VLAN ID 234 for the AP "Home" Network
2. Guest VLAN on XGS with VLAN ID 123 in custom zone Guest.
3. Created Guest WiFi with WPA2 + PSK on Central with bridge to VLAN 123 in Central and added it to the AP
4. Re-Enabled Wireless Protection on XGS, be sure, the zone Guest and Management is removed from Wireless allowed Zones
5. created a Hotspot on XGS
