  • Hi Ian,

    After upgrading to 18.5.2 MR2 I did see similar behaviour to what you're describing, until I realised that my primary laptop was associating with the far end mesh AP (APX 530, typical RSSI of -71 dBm). The near end mesh AP (APX 530, typical RSSI of -43 dBm) was offline, as is so often the case after an XG restart. Once I power cycled the near end mesh AP and it successfully joined the mesh, then my laptop performance was back to normal.

    Maybe worth investigating to see if your performance issues are WiFi related?

    BTW I wouldn't touch another XG/XGS unit with built-in WiFi. Doesn't scale when you need to add additional APs as the built-in WiFi AP is a special case, and a complete pain if you want to upgrade to a non-WiFi unit (either configure from scratch, or export full config, wade through config file and excise local WiFi settings, re-order config file to ensure dependencies are parsed first, import config into clean install, then export full config from both units and compare with diff/WinMerge or check page-by-page to ensure migrated config is right).

  • Hi Chris,

    the issues are with my mac mini which is hardwired which is what I was testing with. The built-in wifi I gave up and restored my other APs, the built-in wifi could not connect to most of wifi devices reliably.

    Currently the box is dead eg you can't configure much because it is soooo slow. The speedest still max'es the line out.

    Thank you for the detailed update from your equipment.

  • Hi Ian,

    just want to ask what browser do you use for XG administration? I have 3 XG boxes (115 to 135) and one is super slow to config. I figured out it was the browser (MS Edge which is basicaly Chrome). I do now always start the browser in private/incognito mode and the web GUI is much faster. So just letting you know.

  • Hi Martin,

    I primarily use safari and then FF, but today I ended up using edge on w10. The w10 machine is used mainly for photo scanning so it doesn't have many extras installed.

  • Thanks for testing it . Please note we were on 18.0 MR6 before. And probably in a lot of environments, this error doesn't happen. But we're known to pick a lot of the bad apples... Maybe this is again related to HA environment.

    I got the MCS logs from a client computer which hadn't been re-installed with endpoint and will forward that SDU to support FTP.

    "But MCS still works due the whitelisting of SFOS."

    Yes, that is also true here. The Clients are allowed to go to all the Central without Webinterception on the XG, are allowed to DNS, no HB requirement and block without heartbeat on all those basic network FW rules. They were showing with up-2-date time stamp in Central, so management communication was working.

    see heartbeatlog issues of that client.

    Connection failed until working again 22-1-10

    At that point the heartbeat issue was already happening for more than 2 hours and we tried to work around the issue by deleting the heartbeat.xml file on that client manually. did not solve the issue as you can see. The EP heartbeat was working again on Jan 10th without further action by us.

    MCSAgent Log contains no issues.

    MCSClient log shows communication to Central was fine:

  • Do you have a Support case open for this? As far as i can see: Central did not push / render the HBT policy. Therefore the client did not get the policy with the applied certificate. If this worked after some time, the rendering was repaired by Central itself. 

    Sophos Support will have access to the Logs of Central and the rendering of the policy. 

  • thanks for that additional information. may I ask you to add that reference to the central logs to case 04793577  so the tech working on it can check the central logs before they expire?

  • ist that the point where MCS Client receives the new Heartbeat Policy on Jan 10th? It looks like to me:

  • Yes - Its the Policy (with the certificate). 

  • Port Editing Issues with MR2.  After changing 2 separate firewalls to MR-2-Build380 from MR1-1-1-Build365, any form of Interface editing is not allowed.  It give an error "This is a system-reserved interface name".  This occurs with any attempt to save any change of Name, Zone or IP even on an unused interface.

    After some iterative testing, I found that the string "Port" in the name is part of the problem.  Although interfaces have ""Port" there by default, if it's still there on a save it gives that error now.  If the name is changed from say "Port1" to "P1" it saves fine.
