Sophos XGS 88 4×2.5GbE Firewall

The Sophos XGS 88 is a desktop firewall appliance built for small offices and branch sites that need encrypted-traffic visibility without fan noise. It ships with a 3-year Standard Protection licence bundle covering network, web and zero-day protection. Four 2.5 GBase-T ports and a dedicated management port handle wired connectivity.

Fanless desktop install with 2.5G ports

The unit sits on a shelf or desk; no rack ears are included and the fanless chassis runs silently in noise-sensitive rooms. Connect the four RJ-45 2.5 GbE LAN/WAN ports and the separate management RJ-45, then configure through the web UI or the micro-USB console. No expansion slots exist, so port count is fixed at four.

16 GB eMMC storage and throughput limits

Onboard 16 GB eMMC holds the OS, logs and signatures; 4 GB LPDDR5 memory feeds the Intel x86 CPU. Firewall IMIX throughput reaches 6 500 Mbps, IPsec VPN 6 000 Mbps, while TLS 1.3 inspection peaks at 600 Mbps and threat protection, IPS and NGFW each top out at 2 000 Mbps.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 9.67 Gbit/s firewall throughput is active after setup?

Log into the Sophos Central dashboard and run a throughput test; the reported firewall IMIX figure should read 6,500 Mbps and IPS throughput 2,000 Mbps under load.

Which cables and licences are included versus sold separately?

The box contains the XGS 88 desktop unit, a power adapter, and a 3-year Standard Protection licence bundle; Ethernet cables and any Xstream Protection upgrade must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 4 GB LPDDR5 / 16 GB eMMC model or a larger capacity?

This SKU (XT88ZZ36ZZPCUS) ships only with 4 GB LPDDR5 memory and 16 GB eMMC storage; no alternative capacities exist for the XGS 88, so select this version.
