Allow Access to internal through Sophos XG

Hi everyone,

Below is a rough sketch on my network. VLANs have been set on and by the ISP on their side. VLAN1 is for data. Which means PCs on the left should communicate with those on the right and vice.

From the right I can only ping upto the Sophos which is 10.10.1.1(via static routes). Beyond that, I cannot ping. I hope to get the left side to get DHCP ip addresses from the left side.

Please help.

All right, I think we are getting somewhere. Remember, the first issue was I couldn't ping internal resources behind the Sophos XG? Well, the solution was this: Under Hosts and Services ->, I created…

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

Please check this KB to give you an idea.

Is the XG or the Cisco device handing the DHCP?

Hi Emmanuel,

I have read the article and it is reverse of what I want to do.

In my scenario, the Sophos is the DHCP server that needs to give ip addresses outside the network.

From the outside network, I can only ping up to Sophos, which is 10.10.1.1. I cannot ping beyond that.
Is there a firewall rule I have to create?

Regards,

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for the following up!

Most likely you need, from which zone the traffic from the Cisco device is coming into your network? You would need to create WAN to LAN or LAN to LAN or DMZ to LAN, depending on the zone of the traffic coming from the Cisco.

You could do a packet capture on the XG to find the reason why the Ping is not arriving to 10.10.1.1 by following this KB

As per the DHCP not working, are you even seeing the requests coming to the XG? If you do a tpcdump or packet capture in the XG on Port 67 & 68 do you see this requests arriving?

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for responding. I have attached the packet capture. I don't know what it means, but I filtered the display to show ICMP.

I Think since the sites are connected through VLANs, it should be LAN to LAN. But I have tried all possible combinations of these but no success. Please help.

I have tried the tcpdump, I am not receiving any DHCP requests. It could be that the required traffic is not going passed the my Sophos gateway.

Hello Jonathan,

If you don't see the DHCP requests arriving to the XG then you would need to check with your ISP.

As per the screenshot, from which IP address you pinged from? I see 192.168.124.1 but this is the ISP Gateway?

IF you could take a screenshot of your interfaces that might help!

Yes, the 192.168.124.1 the ISP gateway within the VLAN they created on their said. so this VLAN has 3 points in this scenario.
124.2 is HQ on Sophos, whose gateway is 124.1

124.6 is Branch office on Cisco router, whose Gateway is 124.5
Below is the requested screenshot of the Interfaces. I hope this helps.
