Dell 6248 > Sophos XG

Hi all,

I am having trouble configuring these two coming from a cisco background.

I am used to having the no switchport command and being able to assign an IP directly to an interface, so to get around this i have created interface vlan 5 with IP 10.17.0.2/30, which is an access port connected to the sophos at 10.17.0.1, ping is working both ways.

I have devices attached to the dell, and can ping between the devices in different vlans, however i had to create a static route on the Sophos for 10.17.0.0 /16 pointing to 10.17.0.2, to get pings from internal devices on the switch to the gateway.

I am now trying to get ospf working and have the following on the switch;

routetr ospf

router-id 2.2.2.2

network 10.17.0.0 0.0.0.3 area 0.0.0.0

interface vlan 5

ip address 10.17.0.2 255.255.255.252

ip ospf area 0.0.0.0

On the Sophos, i have configured;

router ospf

router-id 1.1.1.1

network 10.17.0.0/30 area 0.0.0.0

With this configuration, they have not formed an adjacency, the dell has;

Router ID Priority IP Address Interface State Dead
Time
---------------- -------- --------------- ----------- ---------------- ------
1.1.1.1 1 10.17.0.1 vlan 5 Init/DR-OTHER 34

The sophos does not even have any information of the dell nor has it tried to form an adjacency.

Any helpful hints?

Cheers!
