DHCP Configuration Issue on Sophos XG 125 Firewall

Fabien Lion

Hi all, sorry for my english, I’m french.

When adding a separate Wireless Networks for Guests, I'm having a problem with the DHCP configuration on my Sophos XG125 Firewall and I'm hoping someone can help me.

Background : I created a different SSID in Separate Zone for guest access with a Sophos XG125 Firewall in my network with Sophos APX320 access points. I also configured DHCP service.

Problem : However, the devices do not appear to receive IP addresses. There are the details of my configuration :

  • IP address range: 10.17.10.50 to 10.17.10.100
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 10.17.10.254
  • DNS Server: 8.8.8.8

What I tried :

  • Restart the DHCP service on the Sophos.
  • Using the previous firmware (SFOS 19.5.1 MR-2-Build624)
  • Test with a different device to see if the problem persists.
  • Restore to factory configuration (but same problem with default Guest SSID).

Questions :

  1. Are there any additional settings I should check ?
  2. Are there any logs on Sophos that could help me diagnose the problem ?
  3. Is this an existing bug due to the firmware/access points ?

Problems:

  • I have SFOS 19.5.2 MR-2-Build624 firmware and I can't update it (I don’t have a valid support subscription).

Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello,

    I am considering that it is flat network without L3 in place. From Port1 - you must have switch connected and later it connects the APX. The APX must be receiving the IP addresses from the range 192.168.6.254. When we create the separate zone it creates logical interface and for which you have assigned the IP range as 10.17.10.254/24 and DHCP exist for that.

    Please login to the firewall CLI and go to option number 5 and 3, and execute below commands while trying to receive the IP from DHCP in two different CLI.

    #tcpdump -vvnei any port 67 or port 68

    #drppkt port 67 or port 68

    Kindly review if there is DHCP request on the firewall from the PCs MAC address or not.
