Virtual XG Interfaces only showing 1GB/s

Jonas Keller over 4 years ago

My Virtual Sophos XG running on VMware ESXi has a 10Gb/s physical NIC. But the Sophos VM only shows the Virtual NICs with a Speed of 1000Mb/s.

Why don't they show up with a speed of 10Gb/s?

Hi Jonas Keller,

I have virtual XG firewall in my LAB environment and link speed is 10000Mb/s on an interface. Could you please SSH into XG firewall by following this KB Article: Sophos XG Firewall: How to SSH to the firewall using PuTTY utility and navigate to option 5(Device Management) > Option 3 (Advanced Shell) and run this command "ethtool PortA" and share the output?

Replace the interface name accordingly. In my case it was PortA.

Thanks,

Which version of the FW are you running? I noticed the same thing when I tried out SG FW v18 Early access. I've since reverted to 17.5.9 MR9 and am doing just dandy with it.

There is a bug in the virtual driver of VMware right now.

The auto negotiation seems to be broken.

Try to switch to other driver. Try VMnet3 https://communities.vmware.com/thread/463728
