Sophos Firewall Manager SFM 17.1 MR5 Released

14 Oct 2020

Hi XG Community!

We've released Sophos Firewall Manager SFM 17.1 MR5. Initially, the firmware will be available by manual download from the Licensing Portal. We will gradually release the firmware via auto-update to customers.

This MR is solely to allow limited support for XG v18 MR3 firmware. Please note that v18 support in SFM is very limited, and most SFM features are not supported. Please migrate to Sophos Central to fully group manage firewalls running v18 firmware.

Updates Included

NCCC-10106, NCCC-10125 [SFM] Support for XG v18 MR3 compatibility

Is SFM getting phased out ? We have faced issues with using Sophos Central and localised management using SFM is still much faster and reliable.

How is Sophos Central performance these days? I dare not return to using them since encountering it's appalling performance plus issues (Change Control not working properly and Sophos support just keeps laying the blame on the customer connection) and yet things are mostly fine after using an on premise SFM.
