Why does sophos XG not recognise that I have a connection

I have been using sophos XG for about a week now but have yet to register the product. I have tried everything from reinstalling to swapping nics in my server but still get the following error.
None of the other suggestion on this topic seems to work for me. I am using the default config and all connected client can connect. What is my way forward as I can clearly ping the sophos servers?

  • Hi Ashruf,

     

    SSH into the XG -- go to option 5 then 3. 

    Run the command tail -f /log/licensing.log 

    Reproduce the synchronization and it will tell you where it is failing. 

    I would recommend opening a support case for this as well. 

  • Thanks,

    The log revealed the following

    I applied the workaround at https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/132458 but the error stays the same.

  • Perhaps try rebooting and if the issue persists, try the KB steps once more.

    If that does not resolve things and the logs are the same, I would suggest opening a support ticket to investigate what is going on at a deeper level. 

  • Is there any HTTPs Inspection between XG WAN and the Internet? 

    Any Kind of Proxy?

  • He can try this command:

    openssl s_client -showcerts -connect eu-prod-utm.soa.sophos.com:443

    then paste the output here. 

  • I would suggest he doesn't have the XG DNS setup correctly.

  • Thanks,

    I got a bit further this time after fixing the system time and applying the workaround. The web interface now seems to be stuck on the "Retrieving Eligible Source Devices!" page.

  • I have my DNS setup by DHCP and I made no changes to the default config.

  • Like mentioned in the Log.

    You need to restart the Appliance.

    It should come up and after login into the webadmin, the appliance should ask for a activation and everything should work fine.
