Local_ACL

Jon Eyre

I create a forward rule for traffic on a particular port to an ip address. The rule construct is identical to a forward rule that works.

If i check packet capture i get "Violation Local_ACL" which is exactly the same as without the rule. WHAT IS WRONG? simple question but there is no easy answer.

 

I have seen lots of "do this" and check this report. That report might as well be written in swahili for the good it does.

Why is Sophos so difficult to troubleshoot and when is Sophos going to make the product more user friendly?

Not everyone who uses the product is a nasa rocket scientist.

    Hi,

    have you tried some of the settings in Administration -> device access?

    Hi

    Device access is not the issue. The error says local_acl but there is no such thing as local_acl, it doesn't mean anything. How is anyone supposed to diagnose the problem when the reason is meaningless.

    Hi Jon,

    this is local acl, you are not the first with this issue.

    You need a different mindset to configuring the XG to that used when configuring a UTM.

    XG is application based and the rules are written around applications eg similar to Pal Alto.

    Hi

    Never seen anything called that in the XG firewall with the latest firmware.

    Hi Jon,

    that feature has been there for some number of versions. I am currently running MR-7.

    Hi

    I have never used a UCM

     

    Have the issue again. Local_ACL and i have no idea why.

    I have seen in another topic where a sophos tech replied "Local_ACL might be etc.". Ridiculous, no help at all

     

    Why can this box not give an easy answer to problems instead of just "Local_ACL" 

    Why do you have to be a rocket scientist to work anything out?

    Why is it so hard for Sophos to sort this out?

     

    Yes i am very frustrated!
