Network switch configure for Sophos HA

Stuart James

Interested in what other people have done with network switch configurations when using Sophos HA.

Documentation on their website covers the Sophos configuration, but doesn't really talk about what to do on the switch side of things, although it does say to disable STP, which makes sense.

We've always used a single trunk (LAG) binding one port on each switch together and plugging one of the Sophos units in to each one. Is this what most people do, or are other people simply using dumb ports and not worrying about creating a trunk/LAG?

    Hi,

    in my setup I use 2x XG210 (HA - active / passive) and 2x Aruba (in stack).

    On the XG I use 2 ports in LAG for the uplink (1 cable down to each switch), on the switches I configured the ports as trunks (2 trunks with 2 ports on each switch).

    In my case 1 XG and 1 Switch can fail at the same time.
