Interface communications not working

AndrewSalm

Hello all... New to Sophos

I'm very excited to have found this free UTM for home use as I simply do not feel I am in control of my home network. I have set up the Sophos on a Dell Optiplex 780 (I think) and added NICs to a total of 6 interfaces. 

What I am trying to accomplish is a segregation of certain devices by implementing separate networks as follows:

Sophos eth0: WAN IP 192.168.2.2 GW 192.168.2.1 (Bell Home Hub 2000 with NO bridge mode)
Sophos eth1: LAN IP 10.10.1.1 DHCP range 10.10.1.10-10.10.1.50

This all works fine...until I want to add a router for WiFi which I have attempted to set up as follows:

Sophos eth2: WiFi IP 192.168.1.2
WiFi WAN: 192..168.1.1 GW 192.168.1.2
WiFi LAN IP: 10.10.1.2 
WiFi DHCP: 10.10.1.60 - 10.10.1.90 GW 10.10.1.2

With this config, I am unable to allow any wifi device access to the LAN or internet on the Sophos. I can ping the Sophos eth2 at 192.168.1.100. I'm sure I am not configuring something correctly here. Ideally I would like the WiFi IP network to be 10.10.2.0 (I used the 10.10.1.0 network to see if that at the very least let me communicate to the Sophos LAN segment. 

This is the first step I need to resolve before proceeding with the remainder of the configuration... and I clearly need some help as I have been ripping my home network apart and have since reverted everything back to my Bell Home Hub 2000....and I am slowly dying. I work with NextGen Firewalls daily, and I can't figure this one out. I am completely tunnel visioned and need someone to remove the blinders for me.... it's embarrassing. 

Thank you in advance. I have gotten really helpful feedback on another post from this forum and hope to able to contribute to solutions more than problems in the future. 

Cheers

    Andrew, disable DHCP on that router and if it can't be put into bridge mode, tape over the WAN port and plug one of the LAN ports into the UTM.  You will be much happier with it as a wireless switch.  Check out BarryG's definitive commentary on this issue: community.sophos.com/.../21968

    Bob,

    Thanks for the insight. I ended up rebuilding and must assume something went wrong with my initial install. Additionally, I am no longer using an additional interface for the wireless AP. The initial problem I found was allowing the ports to communicate on the same network. I am running this on a Dell Optiplex  NICs installed. However I cannot seem to find the right place to make an additional port available on the LAN. 

    Now I have a switch connected to the LAN interface. On that switch my Router in bridged mode as my WiFi AP and it relays DHCP from the Sophos UTM. So far so good for that setup, although not entirely what I wanted. 

    Thanks for the info Bob, and the link to BarryG's helped me out as well.
