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.
