Sophos SD-RED 20 and VLANs

Hello, I have the following scenario, I need to transport some VLANs that are on my core switch L3, behind the RED (Appliance), I have already tried to put the Firewall interface marked with the VLANs that I need, in Sophos I grouped the VLANs in a bridge, station behind RED gets ip from guest VLAN but does not browse.

I know it's not a good practice, but I need the Hotspot of my guest network, also in the branches.

  • This kind of design can work in smaller setups, but is not recommended for larger setups (Multiple REDs).

    You need to bridge the LAN port with the RED. Then place the VLANs as you want on this bridge. 

    You need to have Standard/Unified on RED to get this working.

  • SD-RED20 is not VLAN aware.
    Possibly the RED ignores the VLAN-tags and just transmits everything.. including the VLAN-tags.
    But i think it is not official supported. (even if it worked with RED15)
    Next, you should check at the branch-switch, if VLAN-packets arrive the switch (VLAN/Port statistics or a packet capture).
    If this is working, the client should get an IP or be able to ping the gateway.

  • Yes, I understand that SD-RED 20 ignores the VLANs tags and just broadcasts everything, I put a Switch behind the RED and put the port as Tagged, my station receives an IP address from DHCP, I can ping the gateway, but not ping the Internet.

  • ok, try to ping the internet and take a look to the log-viewer.
    if you enable "logging" within your firewall-rules, you should see something.
    Unfortunately, the last "default drop" rule doesn't log. (i build a "drop and log" rule by myself)

    I think there is missing a firewall-rule or a NAT (Masquerade) rule.
