Connect a second firewall to primary network for admin purposes

tripleview

All,

Our city has an XG310 as its primary firewall. We don't have the money for a second in HA, but we do have an SG310 running SFOS 12.5.9.

I have configured the SG so I can plug in the LAN and WAN cables from the XG (primary) in the event of a failure and use the SG.

I would like to connect the SG to our network so I can update it remotely instead of driving to the datacenter. Is this possible?

    Hello Tripleview,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    If the SG device has internet access you should be able to connect to it, depending on how you are configuring, however since it is running a really old Firmware, I would recommend you to re-image the device, I am not even sure if you can upgrade from 12 to 17.

    Regards,
