Virtual XG - Sophos 55AP - No access points pending

Hi,

I have spent about an hour reading all posts that seem relevant but have had no luck so sorry if this is repeated elsewhere. I am running an upto date Home licensed virtual XG under Hyper-V, I have dual network cards, internal nic has windows management enabled and connects into my gig switch and the external switch connects into the VDSL modem. I have no issues with web browsing or services and currently have a Sophos 55AP for testing which does have an internal IP from the XG DHCP service but does not appear under access points to authorise. I have noticed under Configure - Network that the GuestAP interface which has WiFi icon reads as unplugged, could this have anything to do with it and would I need a third physical nic?

The question is How do i use this Sophos AP as my Wireless management?

Mark,

Enable auto accept AP using console and make sure your switch is passing vlan 1 on XG LAN interface.

See the following thread:

So have done that and rebooted AP and it still doesnt appear as an access point to approve, completely blank. As this is a home setup I am using dumb switches so no VLANs in place, all flat network.

Mark,

disconnect the AP, reboot XG and then reconnect AP again.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Didnt work, still dont have any access points listed, cant approve it. Anything else I should consider? I may spin up my SG and see if anything is different.

Hi Mark ,

Are you using licensed version XG or free Home version ?. If you have a Licensed version , kindly logs a ticket with support for the same and check if you are getting the same results on SG as well.

I am using the free Home version. I spun up the SG and no luck, tried configuring DHCP option 234 via the gui but no luck. Went back to the XG which had a new firmware - updated and still no luck. Have tried adding DHCP option 234 via console but not sure on the syntax.

Still no luck - why would it not work on the SG & the XG I wonder? I dont have a complex set up, two nics on an Intel NUC - Gig desktop switch and a Sophos AP.
