Multiple lan subnets with unmanaged switches

coolguy
Hi,

I am trying to replace sonicwall with sophos essesntial on a network.

Currently the network has multiple lan subnets ( 10.10.0.0/16, 10.20.0.0/16) as attached. Firewall rules are set to allow restricted traffic between lan subnets and wan.

Sonicwall allows to create to multiple logical subnets with just a single interface (XO) without any vlan or additional interfaces.

Will Sophos Essential support this kind of feature ( running multiple subnets with unmanaged switches) without VLAN ?

Regards,
CG

    Hi coolguy,

    I'm sure you know this but you do realize it's trivial with unmanaged switches for an attacker on a device in one subnet to break into another one if they know the IP range? To enforce any sort of security policy around inter-subnet traffic you really do need managed or smart-managed switches with VLAN capability.
