Sophos XG230 new master node comes with newer firmware version

Slick Fifty

We have a pair of XG230 running in HA active-passive mode. Both device had same firmware version of 15.01.0 MR- .

The master node went down and now the slave is running as standalone.

We have purchased a new XG230 but it comes with firmware version of 17.0.6 MR-6.

Anyone can advance on how I should re insert the new XG230 back into the HA cluster?

    Hi,

    wow.. you still use V15?

    In this Case, would recommend build a new config with V17, because there are a lot of changes since V15. Sometimes the config migration does not work and so on.

    Cheers

    Hi Manbearpig,

    I am thinking maybe I have 2 options:

    1. Downgrade the new XG 230 to firmware version 15 first. Then, the on the slave, remove the failed master node. Set the slave to preferred master. At last, configure automatic configuration on the new XG 230 in HA mode operation,  and connect it to the new preferred master (old slave) to allow auto sync.

    2. Backup the config on the old slave (now running standalone as master). Then restore the config on the new XG 230. Disabled HA mode on old slave. Configure HA mode in new XG 230 and set it as master. Then from master node, use up2date to download and install new firmware on slave (old slave and also remains as new slave)

    Do you have any recommendations?

    Thanks.
