How to use

Install the SD-RED 20 at the remote site and connect its LAN port to the local network switch or router. Link the device to the central Sophos firewall management (XG Firewall or compatible Sophos management) following the vendor’s provisioning steps so the remote unit registers and receives configuration from the central console. Monitor status and update policies from the central management interface to ensure consistent security and SD-WAN routing across sites.

Recommendations

Use the SD-RED 20 as part of a managed Sophos deployment; ensure firmware and central firewall definitions are kept up to date, and prefer wired connections at the remote site for stable throughput and security.
