🔥 Sophos XG 230 Rev.1 — Professional UTM Firewall 18 Gbps

6 GbE Copper Ports + 2 SFP | Modular FleXi Port Slot | Used — Red Light (SSD To Be Replaced) 🔐

⚠️ Product Condition — Please Read Carefully Before Purchase

This device is sold as used and for repair. The red indicator light blinks at startup, most likely indicating a failure of the internal SSD (built-in drive used for logs and firmware). Replacing the SSD with a compatible model and reinstalling the Sophos firmware via a bootable USB key should allow full restoration. All other hardware components appear intact. Sold as-is, without guarantee of immediate operation.

🛡️ Product Overview

The Sophos XG 230 Rev.1 is a mid-range professional UTM (Unified Threat Management) firewall designed to protect SMEs, branch offices, and demanding multi-site environments. Based on Intel multi-core technology, it offers firewall throughput up to 18 Gbps with IPS protection of 4.2 Gbps and supports up to 8.2 million simultaneous connections.

Equipped with 6 GbE copper ports (including 2 integrated bypass pairs), 2 GbE SFP ports, and an expandable modular FleXi Port slot, it adapts to many network topologies (fiber optic, 10G, PoE, link aggregation). Its standard 1U rack form factor facilitates integration into server racks.

⚠️ Disclaimer — Software & Technical Support

We disclaim all responsibility regarding the software part: Sophos Firewall OS license, device activation, firmware compatibility, or network configuration. We do not provide any technical support. Installation, commissioning, and firewall configuration are the sole responsibility of the buyer. We recommend hiring a qualified technician or certified network integrator for any intervention.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🔴 What does the blinking red light mean and how to fix it?
The blinking red light on the Sophos XG 230 usually indicates an internal SSD failure, which stores the firmware, system logs, and quarantine. The solution is to replace the faulty SSD with a compatible model, then reinstall the Sophos Firewall OS firmware via a bootable USB key freely downloadable from the official Sophos website. This repair operation is accessible to any competent network technician or system administrator. The hardware (Intel CPU, GbE network interfaces, power supply) remains operational.
📋 Is a paid Sophos license required to use this UTM firewall?
The Sophos XG 230 can operate with the basic license free Sophos Firewall OS, which includes routing, NAT, IPSec/SSL VPN, stateful firewall, and rule management. Advanced modules — IPS, Deep Packet Inspection, web filtering, application control, Sophos Sandstorm sandboxing, SD-WAN — require a paid subscription. Note: the XG series has reached its official end of life (EOL March 2025), so new advanced protection licenses are no longer available for this model.
🔄 Can pfSense, OPNsense, or an alternative firmware be installed on this hardware?
Yes, it is technically possible to install open source distributions such as OPNsense or pfSense on the Sophos XG 230 Rev.1, which fully recognize the integrated Intel GbE and SFP network interfaces. This makes it an excellent base for a network homelab, a cybersecurity test environment, or a low-cost open source enterprise firewall. Installing Sophos Home Edition is however limited by the Rev.1’s dual-core processor, which does not meet the minimum requirements (4 cores).
🔌 Which FleXi Port modules are compatible with the XG 230 Rev.1?
The XG 230 Rev.1 FleXi Port slot accepts many optional Sophos modules: 8 copper GbE ports, 8 GbE SFP ports, 2 or 4 10 GbE SFP+ ports, 2 40 GbE QSFP+ ports, 4 or 8 GbE PoE ports, as well as the 4-port GbE LAN bypass module. These extensions allow adapting the firewall to demanding network environments: 10G fiber optic, link aggregation, PoE infrastructures, advanced VLAN segmentation, or direct connection to core network switches.
🏢 Is this firewall suitable for an SME, a server room, or a homelab?
Absolutely. The used Sophos XG 230 firewall is an ideal solution to equip a SME, a branch office, a datacenter, or an advanced network homelab at a controlled price. With 18 Gbps firewall throughput, 8.2 million simultaneous connections, a standard 1U rack form factor, and 6 integrated GbE ports, it far outperforms consumer-grade router-firewalls. Once the SSD is replaced and the firmware reinstalled, this device offers an unbeatable performance/price ratio on the refurbished network security appliance market.
📦 What are the shipping terms and delivery times?
The device is shipped carefully packed and protected within 1 to 2 business days after payment confirmation. A carrier tracking number is sent to you by email as soon as the package is picked up. The shipment is insured against transport damage. A professional VAT invoice in paper format is systematically included in every shipped package.
