Sophos XGS 88 desktop firewall appliance

The Sophos XGS 88 is a desktop firewall appliance built for small offices and branch sites that need encrypted-traffic visibility and threat protection in a compact fanless unit. It ships with 4 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 16 GB of eMMC storage, and includes a one-year Xstream Protection licence bundle. The device targets administrators who want integrated SD-WAN orchestration and deep packet inspection without rack-mount hardware.

Four 2.5GBase-T ports and management interfaces

Network connectivity is limited to four 2.5GBase-T RJ-45 ports, a dedicated management RJ-45 port, a micro-USB management console and one USB 3.0 plus one USB 2.0 Type-A port. There are no expansion slots, no wireless radios and no SFP cages, so fibre uplinks or additional LAN segments cannot be added later. Throughput is bound by the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PHY on each LAN port.

Firewall throughput 9.67 Gbit/s

The appliance delivers 9 900 Mbps firewall throughput and 6 500 Mbps IMIX, while TLS 1.3 inspection tops out at 600 Mbps and threat protection, IPS and NGFW rates sit at 2 000 Mbps. IPsec VPN capacity reaches 6 000 Mbps. Buyers who need higher TLS inspection throughput or more than four copper ports will hit the platform ceiling quickly.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 4 GB LPDDR5 memory option or is there a larger capacity available for this XGS 88 model?

This XGS 88 appliance comes with 4 GB LPDDR5 soldered memory; no larger capacity or upgrade option is offered for this model.

What does the 9.67 Gbit/s firewall throughput figure mean when the unit is inspecting live traffic?

The 9.67 Gbit/s rating reflects maximum firewall throughput under ideal conditions; real-world throughput with inspection features enabled will be lower, for example 2 Gbit/s for threat protection or 600 Mbps for TLS inspection.

What practical limit do the four 2.5GBase-T RJ-45 ports place on WAN or LAN speed?

Each of the four RJ-45 ports negotiates up to 2.5 Gbit/s, so any single connection cannot exceed 2.5 Gbit/s regardless of the appliance's higher internal throughput ratings.
