SFOS 18.5.2 - "Port" is now "system-reserved" in the interface name?

Test device: XGS 107

Firmware: SFOS 18.5.2 MR-2-Build380

On the latest firmware, when we try to change the interface name to our default naming scheme ("Port"/"VLAN" <Number> <Name>) (ex: "Port 2 Comcast WAN"), we get the following error:

"This is a system-reserved interface name. Specify a different name."

We can switch to using "Interface" instead of "Port", but this is still very troubling. We have a LOT of firewalls in the field with this naming scheme. What is going to happen when those get firmware upgrades? Is this just a bug? Should we skip upgrading, or do we need to manually change all of our interface names on our whole fleet of firewalls first?

For reference, this behavior did not happen on SFOS 18.5.1 or before.

  • Hello Joshua,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    We were able to replicate this, I will check internally if this was intended from this version or might be a coding error. 

    If you have already opened a Case as Vishal recommended, please share it with me

    Regards,
