Firmware v16.0.5.1 experience

Hi all,

Does anyone already has experience with Sophos XG Firewall Firmware version 16.0.5.1? I can't find anything about it.

  • Hi Billybob,

    The problem I experienced with the 16.05.0 was that my software firewall kept rebooting every 30 seconds. I don't know what the source of the problem was, because I had too little time to research the problem. Maybe it had to do with the IPS problem losts of people had, but I don't know.

    So this is why I was wondering what the experience with 16.05.1 is so far.

    I've made the same experience with 16.05.2 MR-2!

    After I upgraded to this version I get constant reboots every 30secs, a downgrade to the previous firmware also doesn't fix that problem - had to restore a backup.

     

    This is a complete messed up release - now staying on 16.01.3 MR-2...

  • What did you install it on, I installed 16.05.2 on a single XG210 and it has been running without issue for just over 24 hours so far?

    Cheers,

  • Running as a VM (Proxmox) on a Dell T20.

    It looks like 16.05.02 doesn't like my config, because if I switch back the firmware to the previous 16.05.01 it still keeps rebooting...

     

    But if I upgrade 16.01.3 to 16.05.1 there are no problems, so the 16.05.2 breaks the configuration or someting else shared between firmware versions.

  • Hi Matthias, 

    What is the configuration allocated to the VM running SFOS ?

  • Hi,

    the VM has 1 CPU, 4 Cores, 6GB RAM, 32GB Disk Size, 2 NICs (Intel E1000) and Huawei E3372 as Backup Gateway (passthrough USB 3.0).

    The Host itself runs on a Intel Xeon Prozessor with Proxmox Virtual Environment and is barely under load.

     

    It's really strange that it runs without problems under 16.01.3 and 16.05.1...

    With 16.05.2 MR-2 I can see the bootup, password field and after a few seconds it just reboots again - without the possibility to login. When I switch back the firmware it behaves the same, but not if I stop upgrading on 16.05.1...
