XG v17.5.4 MR4-1 Released (MR4 update 1)

Update: Due to an issue in IPSec in combination with Sophos Connect, we had to replace the initial SF 17.5 MR4 (17.5.4.409) with SF 17.5 MR4-1 (17.5.4.429). The new firmware is available for download from your MySophos account.

After updating from 17.5 MR3 to MR4, my UI becames much faster than before... Additionally, in my DHCP Settings, the Option "Use device's DNS settings" was unticked after upgrade... So my DHCP was not delivering any DNS Server Information what caused my clients to not being able to resolve names... 

Anybody else had this issue? I don't know currently what else might be broken with that release...

I presume you upgraded to SFOS xg17.5 MR4-1 (17.5.4.429).   Were you able to "tick" it back ?

My Firewall is currently running on 17.5.4.409. I could go back, but i re-set the option again, and afterwards it worked again.

There is definitely an improvement on the UI performance, very noticeable.

Stupid question like this: Why don’t you upgrade it to 429 ???? Since it fixes a major bug you mentioned earlier ?

Paul Jr

Because if i would do so, and If i would find another "bug", I wouldn't be able to go back to 17.5 MR3.

But you are running 17.5.4 already !!!  And if you did your BU properly, you can always return to MR3 any time.  It is a pain since you would have to wipe your firewall to OEM,  and then re upgrade to 17.5.3 and then import de v17.5.3 MR3 BU file, but is still feasible.

Hello @HuberChristian,

If you have upgraded 17.5 Mr-4-0 before then you may simply roll back to 17.5 Mr-3 and replace the non-active firmware i.e. 17.5 Mr-4-0 with the latest 17.5 Mr-4-1 and perform the upgrade. In case you are encountering any issue with the latest version, you may simply roll back to 17.5 Mr-3. 

Please bear in mind that the backup of the later firmware version will not able to restore on lower firmware.
