Sophos Central enable Management on auxiliary device

Hello all,

is it possible to enable the Sophos Central Management on the auxiliary device in a HA via CLI? Due an HA problem I must rebuild the cluster and the 2nd node has not Central Management enabled. At the moment I don't want to make a fail over to the auxiliary device.

Regards,

Ben

  • Hi Ben,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    Upon checking, I've registered my FW via CLI (stand alone)

    • central-register --register -u Username -p Password -s Serial# on 5.Device Access 3. Advance Shell

    However, the management is still not enabled and requires direct access to Sophos Firewall.

  • Hello Erick,

    this method, registering both HA nodes at once, has never ever worked for us. I once had a long run with a support ticket simply explaining what I was trying to do. They did not believe, didn't give me any useful advice and then we left this unresolved. Until recently when I did update some of our customers to 19.5.x, then I tried to register only the missing AUX node and suddenly this worked!

    But the method you mentioned above never worked for me.
