The boot order seems to prevent the USB device from booting if the compact flash card is bootable. You can get into the bios hitting ESC as the system comes up.
#Sophos xg for home serial#
The cyberoam CR35 has an american megatrends bios that can be accessed through the serial console. I am not sure I'll use it enough to justify buying the very slick Serial Mac app, but their trial is a really great thing for troublshooting: The screen command worked unreliably with my usb serial adapter when changing rates. Now to actually see what the device is doing using a console cable.įor MacOS SerialTools is a good free option for serial console access: I'd still not want it anywhere but in an equipment area away from living quarters, becuase they are cheap relatively noisy fans.įor the expired license, we get an XG Home license here: The fan on top of the CPU was failing and was shedding black plastic dust into the case. It was cheap because the license was expired, and because it has very loud failing cooling fans. The model number of the device is SCB-6905 and that matches up with an AEWIN OEM box that looks really similar: (1).jpg (1).jpg So I found the cheapest device I could at $100 + shipping - Cyberoam CR35i NG Security Appliance - 2.3 Gbps Firewall Throughput 6x GbE Ports so why not XG HomeĬyberRoam devices can be upgraded to Sophos XG Enterprise. That device got me to see that sophos XG would run. There was also one seller that had a cyberoam device for sale in the same $150 price range, but it was in Netherlands: I was looking for a cheap way to build this and looking on ebay I saw a bunch of pfsense upgradable devices. There are a bunch of bare bones devices that can run XG Home Edition at around $250 to $300. How can I build one using their free XG home software? Sophos XG in their netx gen product and it does more than the UTM product: They maybe helpful to someone else, or may just be a useful reminder to me later. These are really rough notes of my process.
