Sophos XG 125 Rev 3

Question

Hello World, 
 
 Quick question. I'm looking at purchasing an Sophos XG 125 Rev 3 appliance online. This is strictly for my lab. However, I have a couple questions. 
 1. Will this appliance support my Gig speed internet? 
 2. Will the home license work on this appliance? 
 3. Will I be able to run the latest Firmware 19-365? 
 
 Thank you for all responses.

Hi, 
 I assume this is a second hand unit? Your home licence will work on the device, just replace the disk for an easy installation. 
 Yes, you can run the latest XG version.

The main benefit of the XGS series is the second 'processor'. This isn't supported in the home edition, so the software will work but you won't see the benefit. 
 It depends on how sophisticated your setup is but with 'everything' on, neither Sophos is likely to support a gig connection at full speed. I had an XG230 rev 2 (latest model) at home and that would max out at about 700Mbps with all the firewall features enabled. Then again, do you actually ever use 1Gbps? What for?! 
 If you are looking at second hand, don't forget the SG models (they are the same hardware as the XG models, they just had different software).
