Is HA supported on sophos XG135 rev.2 and rev.3

Question

Hi

We are going to implement HA in my organization and right now we have Sophos XG 135 rev2 but as discussed with one of your Sophos agents they can provide Sophos XG 135 rev3.

I just need to confirm if it is HA Possible on rev.2 and rev3?

If yes, then please confirm that it will not be affected in the future.

If not, then let me know why this is not possible and how i can overcome this situation because we already have rev.2 firewall and it is working fine. we can not makes a lot of changes because due to this my organization will suffer during this configuration period and because of the COvid we will need to download and install SSL vpn in all the users system, which take a lot of time.

Purchasing 2 new firewalls is too costly and wast of the running firewall and already have 3 year of subscription.

Please confirm .

Regards,

Mithun

Hello Mithun, 
 Both devices in the HA cluster (that is, Primary Device and Auxiliary Device) must be the same model and revision, see:

Hello Dharmendra, 
 Adding to what Ben, mentioned, you can configure HA between two Rev2 devices, and also between Rev 3 devices, but you can't configure HA between 1 Rev 2 unit and 1 Rev 3 unit. 
 When you RMA a Rev 2 you should get a Rev 2 back, and the same for Rev3. 
 So basically you should work with your Sales Engineer or Account Manager, for them to provide you either Rev 2 or Rev 3 for both of your firewalls.
