RED devices on restrictive network?

Louis-M

How would the RED unit work on an MPLS network? Eg we have a remote site on MPLS and we need a secure connection from that remote site to our UTM which is on the edge of our main site?
Now before anybody mentions MPLS security etc, this is for security within our network so that our other sites on the MPLS network can't sniff the traffic from this site.
So, how would a RED unit find the UTM in this scenario?

Also, if we decide to deploy another RED unit at another site (point to point) which has a restrictive firewall on it's edge only allowing dns, http & https, how would the RED unit fair there?

    Having just responded to another post of yours, I know that your remote sites send all traffic to the Internet through the UTM at your central site.  A RED  can do what you want.

    Once you configure the RED tunnel in the UTM, it sends the configuration to the Sophos cloud. When you fire up the new RED, it gets an IP address from DHCP and then queries the cloud to download its configuration. You will need to be careful with subnetting and DNS to be successful.

    PS Please ask your second question in a separate thread.

    I am not sure I fully understand your MPLS setup, but I think RED manual deployment might be what you are looking for. When adding a RED without the Deployment Helper, you can choose 'Device deployment: 'Manually via USB Stick'. Then you can transfer the initial configuration via a USB stick to the RED.

    For your second question: Sophos RED requires Ports 3400 and 3410 in order to work, see https://www.sophos.com/de-de/support/knowledgebase/122755.aspx for more information.
