XG Home Edition Bridge Mode not Working

Andy Dishong

I have a miniserver running Sophos XG Home Edition.  I had it working fine as a router but I need to have my linksys mr9000 router handle DHCP and such.  I tired configuring Sophos as bridge but it just will not allow the linksys router to come up and recognize the internet.  I read the guide and googled suggestions but nothing has worked.  Maybe this won't work in this config with a linksys router?  My config is as follows:  Modem is 72.xxx.xxx.xxx, Local is 10.0.1.xxx.  I am including snapshots of the physical and sohos config.  I have tried clicking routing on but nothing worked, thanks in advance.

    Andy,

    thanks for the diagram. You cannot have 2 different IPs on XG if it is working as Bridge. The ip you put on a bridge is just for management.

    You can swap XG and Linksys. The concept remains the same. One ip for the bridge.

    Regards

    Originally I only had one IP i.e. 10.0.1.2 but it didn't work.  I added the other port for management access, but I did only have one the first time but ran into same issue.

    Andy,

    since the ISP gives you a Public IP, you need to swap XG and linksys. In this way, linksys has 2 IPs, one public IP and one Internal IP.

    In this way, you connect XG WAN port to Linksys lan port and XG lan port to the switch. Make sure that computers have the same IP/Subnet as Linksys LAN network. Same for XG bridge interface.

    You cannot achieve this if XG is connected to ISP router. in this case, XG will need a public IP and then put another public IP on Linksys WAN port.

    Hope it is clear.

    Ok I switched them and Linksys stopped complaining.  The reason why I had it the other way is because the linksys has wireless as well.  How to I make sure wireless clients don't bypass the Sophos and go directly to the internet?
