Detect new interface/nic without reboot

Hi,

We run Sophos UTM on a vSphere VM, if we add a new NIC/interface in vSphere you have to reboot the UTM to see the new interface. Is there a way of detecting it with a Linux command, so i don't have to reboot?

Thanks,

Freek

  • Just ran through this adding flexiport modules to our SG430's in a HA setup. You HAVE to reboot. 

    The config is saved to the master. So you will need to shut down both. Add the module/interface to the master, boot up the master then boot up the slave.

    Invoking the linux command or doing them one at a time will only show up in the tech support section but not in the interface config.

    We did ours with about 5 mins of downtime.. and they are in separate buildings.
