Transparent Proxy in combination with a Bridge Interface - Full Transp. necessary?

seroal

Hi guys,

I have a setup here, where the sophos is bridged into the connection between the external L3 firewall and the internal network. Now, with the sophos connected, we are facing problems with the connection. It looks like, we now periodically have timeouts and packetloss.

I configured the proxy to act in transparent mode (needed to add the bridge interface address to the transparent src host skiplist). I´ve read kb article 119360 (https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119360.aspx) and there I saw, that full transparent mode should be configured.

Is it necessary (required by the utm) to configure full nat mode in combination with a bridge interface or is it optional, up to the customers needs?

Best Regards

Sebastian

    Well, yes and no.  In Transparent mode, Full gives you the ability to let the perimeter router do the masquerading instead of having a double NAT. However, that may not be an issue in the network in question, and regular Transparent should work just fine.

    Cheers - Bob
