Sophos RED15W and XG

Hi,

It seems I can't find any documentation for RED working with XG firewall.

All documentation out there seems to be regarding RED and UTM. Which is Irreverent in this scenario.

I am new to Sophos products and I need some simple guidance with this.

After configuring RED on XG firewall, what UP Link settings I need to provide? Static/DHCP?

Will RED work behind bridged Router? If so, how will I pass PPPoE on to RED?

Found one helpful Kb: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/116573 but its not very in depth.

any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards

Ray

  • +1 from me as well - can't find the access point on a red15w.

    Any how to on the way to set it up would be appreciated

  • I worked with tech support on this.  The solution:  make sure you are running 16.5 firmware on your XG.

     

    the complicating factors that make this weird are this:

     

    1. RED 15W units were supposed to be supported starting with ver 16.  and technically they were, but there was a bug regarding the wireless AP support

    2. at least for me, ver 16.5 was not available for auto download within the XG unit.  I was trusting the XG interface to prompt when a new firmware version is available, which it was sorta doing, it just wasn't showing the latest available. Silly me, I should know by now not to trust the XG entirely.  Anyways, I had to manually download version 16.5 and upload it...and bang, the REDs showed up in the AP section.

     

    I would also call this a bug regarding the firmware download mechanism, but I've learned that Sophos and I have very different ideas of what constitutes a bug.

     

  • Where might one get 16.5 from? Doesn't appear to be available from the Sophos website as the latest I can find is 16.05.1 MR-1
