AP registered in Sophos central not shown in firewall

Hello Guys,

just wanted a confirmation from you, i've registered some AP in Sophos central but they arent shown in the XG firewall, is that normal?

the only way to manage those with the xg firewall is to register them with the XG?

i tought that adding them in the Sophos central would  transfer them to the firewall since it's synced, am i wrong?

thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    you can manage the APX in the xg but not the new APs they are central or a gui on the AP.

    Once your original APs are registered in cm they are no longer seen by the wifi function in the xg.

  • so there is no way to use firewall rules over wireless with sophos ap if they are linked to Sophos central?

  • There are two ways basically.

    1. You could bridge the wireless traffic to the LAN of the connected Access Point --> easy to set up, less flexible, limited to one network per AP
    2. You could bridge to a specific VLAN --> needs configuration on your switch(es), more flexible, allows separation between networks

    The mode "separate zone" is exclusive to firewall products.

    Once you have your networks you can build an interface on the firewall (or a VLAN Interface), assign a zone, create DHCP settings and then create firewall rules for the network.

  • The "new way" to control and separate traffic from AP/APX when managed from Sophos Central is to configure VLAN(s) on your switch(es) and to put these accesspoints into VLANs. (This mode of operation is called "Bridge to VLAN").

    If you put VLANs into your own zones, you have all the possibilties of SFOS to control traffic with firewall rules and NAT rules etc.
