Hi,

Does anyone know if XG Firewall supports Nvidia SmartNIC's ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5 ?

Hello,

It's better for you to check this information with a Sophos Partner, or a VAR.

For the ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5 you would need the "mlx5" driver; Right now Sophos XG v18 MR4 still utilize the driver "mlx4", which is only used by the ConnectX-3 or older.

Thanks!

I can confirm that the ConnectX-4 cards do not work with Sophos XG_FW_SW-18.0.1_MR-1-Build396-396 I tried it myself today.
So I will go with intel nics.
