We want to configure port 2 OR 3 as LAN in command to access web interface port 1 is dead

we have reinstalled the firmware for the firewall. and port 1 is not working it was damaged. we are trying to configure port 2 or 3 as LAN via the command line

When we try to use interface configuration it is not allowing us to configure port 2 , we can only configure port 1

Is there another way to configure other ports in command

Hi Anesu,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Can you try to create an interface by doing the following command in the Advanced shell

#ifconfig Port1 IPAddress netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Thank you

We have used the ifconfig and configured port 4 with 172.16.16.16

but when we try to access web admin . its saying forbidden access , but we can access the VPN portal

we checked the port in command is 4444
