XG in bridge mode with Eero

 Hello all,

I have an Eero Pro mesh wifi system at home.  I want to add an additional layer of protection and I have Sophos running in an ESXi VM on an appliance and would like to set that up in bridge mode.  It is currently not deployed in bridge mode but I would switch it following this guide:  https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/123098

I want to put the Sophos XG in front of the Eero so that the extra layer protects the wireless clients and not just the wired ones. If possible I would like to configure it like this:

 

<--INTERNET--> < --FIBER INTERFACE--> <--XG WAN--Sophos XG BRIDGE--XG LAN--> <--Eero WAN || Eero LAN--> <SWITCH>

                                                               <PUBLIC IP>                             <10.0.0.1>  <10.0.0.2>  ||  <10.0.1.1>

 

If I understand this correctly.  The Sophos XG WAN port will pick up the Public IP from my fiber provider.  I will then assign an IP to the XG bridge LAN port (ex: 10.0.0.1).  The Eero WAN would get a static IP of (EX) 10.0.0.2.  The Eero LAN I can do something like 10.0.1.1 and then set up a DHCP server on the Eero to provide IP's the rest.

I would love to run a /21 (.248) supernet so I can segregate my network into subnets down the road.

 

Thank you for your time
