Sophos XG IPV6 Support timeline

Is there a timeline or any plans to add support for IPV6 PPPoE and Prefix Delegation on the Sophos XG?

Dual Stack is becoming more and more ubiquitous quite simply Sophos XG cannot handle it, even having some other router in front of it doesn't really help much since while it allows the SXG to get an IPV6 without prefix delegation it's not really useful.

I'm in the situation where I have to change firewall now, but if the feature is planned/coming anytime soon, maybe with 20.0, I'd be willing to wait and stick with Sophos for now, so I came asking hoping for good news.

Hello, SFOS v20 will offer IPV6 prefix delegation for DHCP (DHCP -PD). However, IPV6 for PPPoE isn’t committed for v20. If you would like to know more about the status of IPv6 PPPoE I would recommend…

If you would like to know more about the status of IPv6 PPPoE I would recommend you to reach out to your Sales Engineer and or Account Manager.

Thanks, that's partial good news, we'll need to keep a router in front of the sophos appliance for IPV6 PPPoE if it doesn't make its way to 20.0 but we should be able to start using the static IPV6 /48 we got from the ISP when 20.0 drops.

Hi,

you can use the /48 now, but you will need a Nat.

Hi,

1/. Assign IPv6 address to your internal interfaces.

2/. create DHCP servers for each address range /64 for each interface

3/. using your router to obtain your external IPv6 address

4/. WAN interface assign a /64 address with the router as your gateway

5/. check the XG RA settings

6/. create a IPv6 NAT until V20 EAP is released

7/. create IPv6 firewall rules

Hi,

that is a basic setup I have except for the WAN. Warning XG does not accept IPv6 FQDN.

Will IPv6 BGP routing be available in v20?

I just bought two XGS2300 to upgrade my aging SG230 cluster for my BGP edge router and firewall. I didn't realize the firewall platform was behind the UTM platform on IPv6 support. That's a big bummer considering we are being forced out of our SG appliances now.
