Host DNS entry with port numbers

Noel Victor Pagatpat

Hi Guys,

I'm just new in setting up our Sophos XG 210,  I'm done with the basic set up and firewall policies but I'm just wondering on how I can add a host DNS entry that resolves to my gateways IP and admin consoles HTTPS port (default 4444).

So instead of me typing https://10.10.10.1:4444 I can just simply type sophos.company.net

Can I do that? I went to Configure>Network>DNS then tried adding a host dns entry but it won't allow me to add any ports.

Please help. Thanks a bunch

    Noel,

    dns entries do not incldue port. DNS are used to resolve names to IP, ip to names, CNAME, MX, txt, etc.

    If you want to reach the Sophos XG using name, you need to make sure that the DNS you are using is able to resolve the name --> IP.

    Regards
