L2 RED

Hi,

Do software UTM (server) supports L2 RED? Example software XG server dont.

  • SFOS does support this. https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/discussions/134743/red-tunnel---software-v-s-hardware

    You can connect a UTM and SFOS perfectly fine with each other. 

    And i do not understand your problem in detail. 

    A overview of your setup would be good.

  • What you dont understand? Do you know what RED means? Its "remote ethernet"? Do you know ethernet means layer 2? My question was - do software UTM support L2 RED?

  • In general Hardware and Software Images of both platform, are the same. So SFOS on Hardware and on Software is the same. Same for UTM.

    So you initial question about SFOS sounds like a configuration problem and not a general statement. 

    RED in general is a SSLVPN based protocol, which generates a logical interface. This means, this interface can be bridged to another interface.

    Maybe the issue is something else. I will reply in the other thread.

  • You are wrong. First, XG and UTM are not the same platforms. I have tested:  Previosly (many years ago) UTM software server works fine with UTM software client, from L2 RED aspect in mind.  But XG software server dont work with XG software client. Only L3 works there. Only hardware XG server works with XG software client, also in L2 RED aspects view. This is tested. ..............Second, RED is not general SSLVPN, its "remote ethernet device", pure L2 tunnel with L3 additional options. I see you dont have knowledge about layer 2 networking. 

  • I cannot comment on your behavior, as i do not understand what you mean with software and hardware. This does not make sense to me sorry.
