2. Mount and Connect the Appliance
Please follow the rack mounting instructions as described in the XGS Operating Instructions Guide or the separate instructions provided with your rack mount rails.

Connect the ports to the internal and external networks
- Connect the MGMT port via a switch to the internal network. For this purpose, use the RJ45 Ethernet cable provided. Note that your Administration PC must also be connected to this network.
- Connect Port 2 to the external network. The connection to the WAN depends on the type of Internet access.
XGS appliances are shipped with the following default settings:
| Ethernet Port IP Address Zone | |
| 1/LAN 172.16.16.16/255.255.255.0 LAN | |
| 2/WAN DHCP WAN | |

4. Connect Your Administration PC
Please note: We recommend that you use the MGMT interface to connect the Administration PC and all other network interfaces for regular network traffic. Therefore, the following settings are for the MGMT port only. However, if required, you can also connect your Admin PC to any other LAN port. Please make sure that you use the correct IP address.
Administration PC connection properties:
Use the settings below to configure your (PC/laptop) network interface:
IP address: 10.0.1.2
Netmask:Enter 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the appliance's internal network card (MGMT): 10.0.1.1
DNS Server: Enable this option and enter the IP address of the internal network card (MGMT): 10.0.1.1
Connect your PC/laptop to the MGMT port of the appliance:
Start the browser and enter the IP address of the appliance's MGMT port that your PC is connected to: https://10.0.1.1:4444

5. Set Up the Appliance
a) Start network configuration
Select 'Click to begin' on the 'Welcome' screen to start your basic appliance configuration. Change the interface IP addresses, default gateway, DNS settings and date/time zone to match your local network settings.
b] Register the appliance
If you have not previously registered your appliance on MySophos, you will see the registration screen "Register Your Firewall." The appliance requires Internet connectivity for it to be registered with MySophos. If you want to register later, click the check box "I do not want to register now" and proceed with section c).
If you have a serial number provided on your License Schedule please enter it into the first field and click "I have an existing serial number," otherwise click "I don't have a serial number [Start a Trial]."
If you are upgrading from an existing UTM/SG appliance and want to migrate your existing UTM license to your new firewall, click the respective button on the screen and browse for your UTM license to upload it to your firewall.
After clicking 'Continue', you will be redirected to the MySophos portal. If you already have a MySophos account, enter your login credentials under 'Log in to MySophos'. If you are a new user, sign up for a MySophos account by entering the details under 'Register for MySophos'.
Click 'Continue' to complete the registration process. Please wait while the process completes - it will take a few seconds. After successful registration, you will see a screen with the message. 'Your device is now registered'. Please note that you should proceed with the next step, i.e. 'Synchronize License' only after the appliance is successfully registered.
c) Synchronize license
Click 'Initiate License Synchronization' to get the license information from Sophos onto the appliance. After synchronization, you will see a screen with the message, "Synchronization with server was successful."


ENGLISH
6. Set Up Bypass Mode
Your XGS appliance can go into LAN Bypass Mode [Hardware Bypass Mode] in case of a power failure or hardware malfunction. In Bypass Mode, the firewall allows all traffic to pass through without any scanning. In this mode, one pair of interfaces are bridged allowing uninterrupted traffic flow.
Your XGS appliance comes with one pair of bypass ports as shown on the picture to the right.
After a power failure, the firewall automatically resumes normal functionality when power is restored. In case of a hardware failure, please contact Sophos Support.
By default, LAN Bypass Mode is disabled on your XGS appliance. You can enable/disable LAN Bypass Mode by following the steps given below.
- Log in to the CLI Console via Telnet or SSH.
- Choose 'Option 4. Device Console' and press 'Enter'.
- View the LAN Bypass Mode status by executing the following command:
console> show lanbypass
- Enable or disable Bypass Mode by executing the following command:
console> set lanbypass
The LED on the front panel of the appliance [see picture to the right] turns on when Bypass Mode is enabled for the specific port pair.
Please note: Within initial SFOS releases Bypass Mode can only be enabled/disabled for all Bypass ports/ pairs at once (LEDs for all available bypass pairs will turn ON/OFF synchronously).
Enabling/disabling Bypass Mode for each bypass port pair individually will be added in a future SFOS release. Please check the KBA at https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/127014 for further information.
