Cannot connect AP10 to new SG230 - uninitialized value in concatenation error

David Gilmour

Hello,

I am actually a customer of sophos, I have an old ASG 220 rev. 5. Last week I asked my reseller a demo unit of SG 230 with firmware version 9.408-4. All seems to work fine, except for Wireless feature. I tried to connect 2 AP 10, but they are always seen as inactive, even if I accepted them in Access Point pending list.

Reading the log file, it seems that new firmware of AP 10 should be installed, but I got the error Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at awed_ng.pl line 347. I read in this forum that in some cases the ap are not stable, but in my case they didn't work at all.

I tried also to recover ap firmware with the recovery tool, but the issue is the same.

I'm posting the log file, any help is apreciated.

Thanks

    Hi, David, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Since you're considering a new purchase, you can access Sophos Sales to get help from a pre-sales Support Engineer.  I suspect that he will suggest that you try re-flashing the APs, but they might not come around.  I bet you could get Sophos and your reseller to make you a good deal on two new AP 15s.  The AP 10s are End-of-Life on 11/30/2017.

    Cheers - Bob

    Bob,

    I cannot agree to your comment on buying a new AP since the AP10s are end of live next year.

    The AP10s are only access point and even expensive access points because they are manageable by the UTM. No one expects new features for this access points but they have been investments for small companies or home users. They should work until end of live of the electronics inside and not made useless by a crappy firmware update of Sophos.

    As you can see here in this forum, there had been more users hit by this bug, even AP30 users and the only solution found here is that Sophos reinserted an old firmware to a special user and doesn't allow him to make further updates until all is fixed again.

    I was always backing Sophos but this form of upselling is not my understanding of support for costumers.

    So we all know that reflashing does not help. We do not want a good deal, we want our access points work again with a corrected firmware.

    That's just my 2 cents.

    This is the actual error, and the issue has been fixed in 9.410 (NUTM-5567):
