Sophos Firewall Change routing priority

In this article we explain how to change the order of SD-WAN, Policies, Static Routes.

Requirements

• Sophos Firewall with SFOS 18.0 or higher
• License: Base firewall
• Mode: Gateway

What is the purpose of this routing order?

This is a prioritization of which routing has the highest priority.

A typical scenario is that a network can only be reached via an IPsec connection or a static route. However, the firewall sends the traffic to the WAN. In the case of IPsec, this could also be solved using an IPsec route.

What are the different routes?

• sdwan_policyroute: Firewall rules
• vpn: VPN routes
• static: Static routes
