Add Access point AP6-420 to Firewall

Soffit 8 months ago

Hi,

We purchased the access point AP6 420 to replace AP100. The AP-100 is managed from the XG135 Firewall, we tried to add the AP6-420 to the firewall but it is not detecting on the firewall.

How can we add AP6-420 to the XG-135 Firewall?

Hello, however, this means that we cannot use the AP6 series, as our customers' active components do not and must not have access to the Internet. Managing every single AP is not an option either. …

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

AP6 series can only be managed via Sophos Central or locally (Directly connecting to the AP)

Managing every single AP is not an option either.

I don't understand this strategy...

Best regards

The same here.
We have 50 APX APs and now new APs with the AP6 series should only be managed via Central or individually?
And then we also have to buy additional licenses so that we can manage the AP centrally via Central?

Yes - increased price, added licence-requirements - but less functionality... EOL AP-Hardware brick... Sophos APs are dead..

The price of AP6 was adjusted, You can find the current price in the current pricelist.

License requirements were with Sophos for a long time (Called Wireless Protection in UTM). SFOS did not include it within the Firewall (Enhanced Plus Support did the Warranty extension). Now AP6 are covered by a own license to cover Warranty and management.

EOL Hardware is not bricked (you still can use AP15 if you want), but no flaws will be fixed. If your auditor wants to see EOL Hardware within the network is another story.
