Problem in Sophos XGS 136W after power shortcut

Hello all,

I am new in this Sophos community. So, first of all, hello everybody and thank you for your future help in resolving my issue. I have tried to find similar issues but I could not find them.

After working during 9 months with a Sophos XGS 136W in the office with a small network (12 pc's connected via wired network and 2 wifi connections) without any issue, we had a power shortcut and, after rebooting the sophos, it was not possible to use the network again.

The Sophos was working as router (I remove the router supplied by Vodafone and I connected to the ISP using PPPoE), as firewall and as DHCP server.

After rebooting, I see always a RED indicator in the gateway. See this image:

Do you know the meaning of this Red LED in the "State" of the connection?

I have tried to restore to a previous backup copy (done when everything was working) but without success. Sophos has also all the latest firmwares updates.

If I remove the Sophos and I reconnect the router supplied by Vodafone, the network is working properly. So, it does not seem a problem related to the external connection.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Jordi Sans

  • Hey Vivek,

    Thank you very much for your message.

    Finally, I could solve the issue... and it was a credentials problem. My ISP provider changed my user and password of the PPPoE connection!!!

    The most annoying point is that I called to my ISP provider and I asked "Have you changed these parameters?". Their reply was "No, we never change it after setting them". 

    Then, I recalled to my ISP asking "Please, can you give me User and Password of my PPPoE connection?" "Yes, of course"... and they indicated me different values that the ones that I had!!!!!

    In any case, this small issue has helped me to discover this community and to update the Sophos to the last firmware versions.

    Thank you very much!

    Best regards

    Jordi
