Hello,
I would like to create an HA Active-Passive between 2 Sophos Sg-230.
Right now I have only one sophos SG-230 with network Protection Licence, Also its firmware is 9.600-5
I bought a second SG-230 and I want to configure it as a Slave on the HA
I follow the above instructions of the above link
https://techbast.com/2015/04/configuring-high-availability-ha-on-sophos-utm.html
And I have configured only the Master node.
So right now I have to configure the Slave node and I'm confused.
What I should select in the HA menu of the second node? I have the options auto-configuration and active-passive ha ?
I'm afraid if I connect the second node it will be become as a master and my old sophos lose its configuration.
Also the new sophos I haven't install any licence I thought the licence of the Master Node will be transferred when the HA will finish syncing.
Also the new sophos has an older firmware 9.311 I tried to update it with Up2Date but nothing is happening, in the dashboard it finds that updates should be installed but when I click on it in the Up2Date page it shows that sophos is up to date.
So I was wondering if I select in the high availability in menu Hot-Standby(active-passive)
and I fill the Device Name with a name, the Node id with 2, the encryption key with the key that I gave in node1 and I check enable automatic configuration of new devices and finally connect them with a cross cable,
I will be fine? The node 2 will be the slave of the HA and then it will sync configuration licence and firmware from the master?
or I have to do something else?
