Sophos XGS 87 getting hot fast

Vertical Technik 6 months ago

Good day all....

Does anyone use a Sophos XGS 87 and experiencing that the Firewall is getting very hot after shot time?

My FW is running 30Min now and is already producing great heat, and I am just configuring the settings at the moment.

THX for any experience feedback of other users running same device.

The FW is not yet used within the network. I am still configuring all the network settings/rules.

Currently we are still running a pfSense device.

Sophos will be going live after all configs have been completed, which I guess will be end of this week.

Kindly reach out to Sophos Support to have this properly checked; there might be a possibility for a power supply defect.

Thank you very much for taking your time to answer. Unfortunately I have finally decided not to use Sophos, therefore I will not continue to setup and run this FW.

As we use pfSense and are use to the webGUI of pfSense, we found that the Sophos webGUI is not userfriendly for us, which is a personal opinion only.

I wish you all the best and many thanks for the support provided, highly appreciated.! Bless
