Setup Sophos XG on Hyper-v Server 2016

Hi,

Has anyone managed to setup Sophos XG on Hyper-v Server 2016 as an Generation 2 setup. As I have noticed that Generation 1 network card is only 100 MBPS.

I have successfully migrated Sophos XG from Server 2012 R2 to Server 2016 but it would be nice to get a faster NIC card to work.

You don't need to use generation 2 vm to have synthetic nic on Hyper-v
They work on generation 1 and generation 2

Sounds like you are using legacy Nics in your vm, you can change the Nics by adding a new hardware and choose nic.

You have to shutdown and delete the old ones first before adding a new one.

Hi jsybhdu ,

Before a hardware upgrade, you may need to check if 1000mbps NIC cards are necessary or not. If your ISP is <100MBPS then it won't make much of a difference.
