I built my own server.
Dual Quad Core Xeon
48GB RAM
8 x 2TB RAID 5
10 Intel NICs
Server 2008 R2 - Hyper-V Role
VM1 - SBS 2011
VM2 - RDS WebApp
VM3 - SQL 2008 R2
VM4 - SharePoint 2010
VM5 - Storage Server
VM6 - Windows 7
VM7 - Windows 8
VM8 - Windows XP
VM9 - SOPHOS UTM
In keeping with "Best Practices" All virtual Machines have their own NIC with the following exception: SOPHOS has 3 NICS (I, E, D)and Windows XP, 7 & 8 Share one NIC because they are non critical and don't generally operate simultaneously.
This configuration has been operating for almost three years using Untangle as the firewall. I want to virtualize my firewall and found SOPHOS to be very agreeable.

Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.
Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
As stated, each VM has its own physical NIC on the Hyper-V Server. Each NIC connects, via patch cable to a physical 24 port switch. This is not a physical hardware issue. When testing, the network configuration does not change with the exception of the moving of patch cables from the current firewall (Untangle) to the NICs assigned to the (virtual) Sophos.
The Sophos UTM shows connectivity to the NIC and knows the NIC is connected to the switch. But no, the UTM does not show connectivity to the internet.
The installation and configuration of the Sophos when exactly as expected and as seen i YouTube videos, only I cannot see the internet from my internal network or from inside the Sophos tools. I assume that there is a setting somewhere in the Sophos that I have configured incorrectly or not at all.
Thank you, RFCat_vk.
