V19 EAP rumoured for October 2021

rfcat_vk over 2 years ago

Hi folks,

some questions for those in the know

1/. will the daily reports be fixed so they cover 24 hours

2/. will the classification/category function be fixed

3/. will IPv6 be brought to IP4 parity at the very minimum in preparation for a complete so-wan function

4/. will the same device name be allowed in both ip4 and IPv6 XG dhcp servers

5/. will the same device name be allowed in multiple XG dhcp network servers

6/. Will the IPv6 dhcp assignment list show all active assigned addresses

7/. will the IPv6 dhcp assigned lists have resizable columns

my thoughts and maybe wishes.

ian

Will v19 support hardware acceleration (AES-NI) for the software version?

As a home user I use the XG software version. In our company we still use the UTM. But I guess we will migrate to XG in the next two years when my colleague is in retirement.

V19.0 is a bigger release, therefore it takes some times to work on the Q/A and other processes, which can delay the release. As i mentioned earlier, the best way is to observe the release notes section (RSS Feed) for news.

Hi Lucar Toni.

thank you for the link. Something goes astray with the new Apple OS and screen placement.

The document looks like a very good marketing document, but is very short on details about adding missing functionality etc.

Hello rfcat_vk,

what adding missing functionality do you mean?
As part of the solution of one customer project, the Sophos GES team confirmed to us that one absolutely critical function of NGFW is not implemented in the current version SFOS and very probably is not implemented in v19 either. But even so, SFOS is still positioned as an NGFW.
Absolutely unbelievable .....

The list is actually pretty accurate of the feature overall set of V19.0. But it is more complicated tech involved to get all this done.

Which critical function do you mean?

IPv6 functionality, like FQDNs and FQDN groups and the ability to use them in IPv6 rules.

the stuff I wrote in the original post in this thread.
