Setting up Sophos XG HA

Azure does not support the HA System by Sophos.

SFOS uses a multicast approach --> and multicast is not support in Azure. Same with virtual IP.

You need to use the load balancing.

Toni. Thanks for reply. Do you have a doc for loadbalancing? To add an XG to the existing infra?

As you mentioned, the KB above is the only guide:  Sophos Firewall: Implement a full HA (inbound/outbound) on Azure if this is not working, you can raise your issues in the thread.

In bigger installations, you can raise it with your sophos partner.

So there is no proper KB for configuring HA on an existing infra? (with one Xg no LB) above KB is for a brand new, from scratch set up.

Not a HA. As you need two separate firewalls, which are independent of each other, this is not easily possible.

You can contact Sophos professional service to get installation assistance. 

Basically what I am trying to achieve here to load the balance to firewall when it get too much data, hits, instead of dying, it should fail to other firewall. What do you mean by contact the sophos professional service? 

You can buy assistance from Sophos for your installations. https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/professional-services

Ok. So not as simple as adding a new xg and configure it with HA with my understanding.... Thanks
