Posted Updated

In this video we continue our Sophos XG series. In the previous video we installed Sophos XG in Hyper-V as a virtual machine. Now we are creating Vlan’s and allowing Hyper-v to ‘Trunk’ the vlan’s.

Below are the powershell commands used in this video.

Lookup the Network Adapters for your Virtual Machine:

1

Get-VMNetworkAdapter -vmname SophosXG

Run the following to rename your Network Adapters, where 0 would be your LAN Network Adapter and 1 your WAN Network Adapter in this example:

1
2
3

$VMNET = Get-VMNetworkAdapter -vmname SophosXG
Rename-VMNetworkAdapter -VMNetworkAdapter $VMNET[0] -NewName LAN
Rename-VMNetworkAdapter -VMNetworkAdapter $VMNET[1] -NewName WAN

Set your LAN Network Adapter to a trunk port to allow Tagged VLAN 1 to 254 and set the Untagged interface to vlan 0:

1

Set-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName "SophosXG" -VMNetworkAdapterName "LAN" -Trunk -Allowedvlanidlist 1-254 -nativevlanid 0
Firewall, Sophos XG
