Sophos XG Firewall VM Ware Installation

Question

Hi 
 
 I need asistance pertinent to the process of configuration for Sophos XG Firewall on a VM Ware platform. Currently I have Workstation Player 16 with a Windows 2019 Server , I created the Sophos XG VM apart. I would like to know the process of integration & configuration in Network Adapter to assing IPS so I can reach the website to start config. How many Adapters do I need because I have assing IP and I cant reach it by the W 2019 Server. How do I set the IP Ranges to reach them? Also If my hardware configuration on server are fine? 
 (Windows 2019 Server)

Essentially it would be best practise to add as many interfaces as you want to have in this phase. 
 There is a guide for the ESXi Part: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/19.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/VirtualAndSoftwareAppliancesHelp/VMware/VMwareInstall/index.html 
 But you need to configure the first network adapter to use 172.16.16.1 on your machine. The second adapter has to be NAT. 
 Then you should be good to go to access 172.16.16.16:4444&#160;

Hi Xavier, 
 You can edit your IP/subnet setting on the "Virtual Network Adaptor on your VM". For reference, you can follow the link below 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbgUh16UxKw 
 E.g 
 1. Set the NAT network on the Virtual Network adaptor the same as your network. (i.e 172.20.x.x/24) 
 2. Configure your 1st adaptor to NAT on VM 
 3. Set the IP of Port A on XG to the same network as your NAT settings in #1(172.20.x.16) 
 Click 1. Network Configuration >1. Interface configuration 
 5. Set your Window server on the same config as the XG. 
 
 For reference, kindly see below for configuring XG on VM.
