Install different sophos software in XG106w

Hello Unks ,

Thank you for reaching out to the community, yes you can use UTM/XG Home Edition - https://www.sophos.com/en-us/free-tools/sophos-xg-firewall-home-edition

That link appears to only allow you to download XG.  Did they pull the link for UTM home edition?

Hey Jay Jay ,

You can download a Sophos UTM ISO from : https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/downloads/utm-downloads. (UTM v9 software appliance)

Then you can log in to https://myutm.sophos.com/ and generate a Home user license.

Hello Vivek, Thanks for the reply I have tried to burn the ISO from UTM 9 and try to boot the Firewall but I get an error of "No appliance was detected" 

is there any specific procedure to install it? I tried to change the BIOS from UEFI to Legacy but it did not work

Thanks in advance

Hey Unks are you using the "asg-9.714-4.1.iso" OR "ssi-9.714-4.1.iso?" 
As ssi-9.714-4.1.iso is for hardware appliance only 
Where as asg-9.714-4.1.iso is software appliance 

That means you downloaded and used the wrong ISO.

That was the problem as stated I used the software appliance.

thanks for the help!

One more question if you don't mind, I have installed 4 times

• 64 bits with enterprise tools 
• 64 bits without enterprise tools
• 32 bits with enterprise tools
• 32 bits without enterprise tools 

I used asg-9.714-4.1.iso to do the installation.

after doing all those installs, none of the NICs are detected, but in all the installation modes it detects the 4 ethernet ports (not in the right order btw)

I used an USB to do the install and had to fix the install.tar error by mounting the USB before beginning the installation, but besides that all the options I used are the normal setup

Am I missing anything as part of the steps?

thanks

Choose the 64-bit with tools. 

If the NIC isn't detected, it could be a problem with the NIC not working, hardware failure perhaps.

The install.tar error is common and regular when installing from USB and doesn't affect installation after you remount.
