Upgrade as soon as possible

XG Firewall v17.5 MR16 is an easy and fully supported upgrade from older XG Firewall v17.5 releases. You can also upgrade from v17.5 MR16 to v18 MR5 with full configuration migration supported . Please refer to the upgrade matrix for more details.

While we always encourage you to keep your firewalls up to date with the latest firmware, over the next few months we are recommending you rapidly apply maintenance releases to ensure you have all the important security enhancements applied as soon as possible. Also ensure you have automatic pattern updates enabled so that you can be assured you have the latest protection updates.

How to get it

As usual, this firmware update is no charge for all licensed XG Firewall customers. The firmware will be rolled out automatically to all systems over the coming weeks, but you can access the firmware anytime to do a manual update through the Licensing Portal.  Please refer to the documentation for more information on how to apply firmware updates.
