**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.
