Is anyone else running pfsense on a Sophos XG 330 Rev2? I’ve seen chat’s about the 220. I’m going to be running through the install tonight. I’ve got a 10g Aruba core switch and 3 switches coming off it. Juniper EX3300, Dell EMC S4128T, and a Ubiquiti Professional 48 (Testing Ubiquiti “L3” as they continue updates"
I have several hosts, datastores and NAS’s connected to the above.
I’ve had pfsense on XG230 rev2 and XG135 and rev3 with no issues.
The XG330 I can’t see being an issue. It’s a caswell unit again I expect and inside just standard stuff.
The only thing re Sophos hardware is replace the drive or fully clear the existing.
It’s running decent so far. !0g really smashes it, ordering a new CPU and will hopefully upgrade memory.
Does it need extra CPU cycles and more RAM?
I5-6500 and 12Gb RAM stock I believe
That is correct. I’m seeing high utilization when utilizing 10G. Might be effective to move to an i7 and see what the capabilities for RAM are.
How hw e you got on with unit after a while?
I’m looking at one of internet service above 1Gbps comes to my area.
I keep looking at UniFi, but pfsense or Sophos XG are still my preferred
Do you really need connection faster than 1Gbps ?
I do agree there re principal etc.
Some providers coming to the area are looking like a 1.6Gbps connection, we’ll see.
I’m still using a Sophos XG 135 Rev 3 at the mo. One with pfsense plus and the other with Sophos XG Home v22
I ended up moving to a UDM Pro until I get some better hardware for pfsense. I added another 5GB Aruba switch with some 10GB SFP+ 2x4 Port modules in the back. All of my servers are on 10GB and all workstations are on 5GB now, the pfsense was just hitting a wall.
I’ve been kind of playing with the CyberSecure addon and how it might help some clients of mine.
Yup. Every cable running through my house is either 10GB or 5GB.
Interesting if I go for Ubiquiti UniFi it would be the UCG-Fiber as I already have Protect running on a NVR.
Will see what turns up at the conference in April
