Sophos - Reconnect for WAN via command line?

TomRimmer

Hello,

                Every now and then I get an issue where by my Sophos UTM's WAN connection (DSL) says connected but none of the workstations on my LAN can access the internet, hit reconnect and it's away, mainly happens after a start of the UTM (and the VMWare device it is running on).

My question is there a way to send a command to the Sophos UTM from say a workstation on the LAN to request it reconnect the LAN link as per the button in the Sophos UTM Web portal?

 

thanks

    Sachin's suggestion is because there's sometimes a problem with auto-negotiation between the NIC in the UTM and the one in the modem.  If you can set the DSL modem to a fixed speed&duplex setting, you can do the same in WebAdmin on the 'Hardware' tab of 'Interfaces'.  Otherwise, you're down to the switch or #7.8 in Rulz.

    For the cc approach, you need to know the REF_ of the Interface.  Assuming it's name is "External," the command to find that is:

    cc get_object_by_name interface ethernet 'External'|grep \'ref\'

    Assuming that you learn that it's REF_IntEthExternal, disable/enable the Interface with:

    cc change_object REF_IntEthExternal status 0;cc change_object REF_IntEthExternal status 1

    Cheers - Bob
