**Purpose**: You may have a Sophos XGS appliance and need more than one interface to act as additional LAN ports. You can achieve this with bridges.
!!! note "Assumptions"
It is assumed that your Sophos XGS appliance has at least 3 interfaces, one for `WAN`, one for `LAN`, and a third one that will act as a member of the bridge. You can have as many member interfaces of the bridge as needed, but you need at least one.
## Login to the Firewall
You will need to access the firewall either directly on the local network at https://<IP-of-Firewall>:4444 or remotely in Sophos Central.
## Configure a LAN bridge
Navigate to "**Configure > Network > Interfaces > "Add Interface" > "Add Bridge"**"
