  • RED Firmware is not related to XG Firmware. You can upgrade the RED Firmware without the firmware of XG. As far as i know, there will be a new firmware for RED soon. 

  • Hi, can you explain a bit more, what are you seeing? We have an SD 60 (two actually, we replaced the hardware with a spare we had, happens with both of them) What we see is that regularly (between every few hours and a few days) the RED tunnel is still online, RED external IP pingable, but no traffic coming in from the LAN, at least it does not reach the redsX interface on the XG (18.0.3). The RED has to be rebooted.

    The Sophos case has been going on for two months. I''ve been suspecting a problem on the LAN side (maybe even a customer problem), for a while, so what you are describing sounds interesting.

    Thanks,
    Florian
