In reply to jawwig. Than it is very easy, one interface is your internal network and one is for the WAN (click the checkbox "Dynamic IP" and "IPv4 Default GW".

Michel…thank you first of all for the quickest reply.

I apologize if I am not fully understanding, however I thought the Sophos would do this, i.e. bridge to the modem and get ISP IP via DHCP – wouldn’t that in effect be the IP-Gateway? I plan to run Sophos UTM on a VM and have a dual-port network card passed to it, one for WAN and the other to the ERL router.

In reply to jawwig. Of course this is possible. But you need an IP-Gateway to do this, you can't do PPPoE and VLAN on 1 Interface. Just create different VLAN Interfaces on the 1 hardware network card and on one interface you configure a gateway.

Hi, I have a EdgeRouter Lite and a 1910-8G. I would like to use this setup with Sophos UTM on way in and out of the internet (WAN). Do you know if this is possible?

In reply to Ross. Hi Ross, yeah of course, when you have a lots of traffic within your network-vlans, you can do routing with a layer 3 switch and secure the way to the internet with a Sophos UTM.

Hi Michel, did you ever get round to doing this with a Sophos UTM instead of a Cisco router?

Do you think the best method is this router on edge or the router on a stick?

Thanks!
Ross
