Frequently Asked Questions
- What are FleXi Port modules and what options are available?
- FleXi Port modules are Sophos-proprietary expansion cards that add additional network ports to XGS rackmount firewalls. Available options include 4× GE copper, 4× SFP (1G fiber), 2× SFP+ (10G), and PoE modules. Da3m can source and install the modules that match your network requirements.
- How does the XGS 2100 compare to a desktop firewall for a 200-user office?
- For 200+ users, the XGS 2100’s rackmount form factor, redundant PSU option, expansion slots, and 60 GB SSD make it significantly more reliable and scalable than a desktop model. The 1U chassis also integrates cleanly into server room infrastructure.
- Does the XGS 2100 support VLAN segmentation?
- Yes. The XGS 2100 supports up to 512 VLANs, enabling full network segmentation for different departments, guest networks, IoT devices, and server DMZ zones.
- Can I add redundant power supplies to the XGS 2100?
- Yes. The XGS 2100 supports optional hot-swap redundant power supplies — critical for business-critical environments where power supply failure cannot cause downtime.
- What type of warranty does the XGS 2100 come with?
- Sophos hardware comes with a standard limited hardware warranty, extended through the active subscription license period. Da3m manages warranty claims locally — if you have a hardware fault, contact our Egypt team for rapid response and RMA coordination.
