Sophos Firewall: v19.0 MR1: Feedback and experiences

I have a problem with firewall rules. Since I upgraded from 19.0 GA to 19.0 MR1, my WIFI rule is not working anymore, nothing is let through. No ping, no TCP connection from LAN zone to WIFI zone:

As you can see, 0 bytes sent/received. When I switch back to 19.0 GA it all works again and counters go up. I have no explanation why this is happening, any idea where to look for in the logs?

Edit: Same seems to be the case for Rule #11 SMTP.

Same problem observed. After the upgrade to v19.0.1 MR-1 traffic is not hitting the firewall rule and is being logged and dropped by rule ID=0.

Could you send me the AccessID as well? 

I've sent it over PM

Coming back to this one: MarekDalke & EdmundSackbauer 

This seems to be an already under investigation issue with the wlnet (separate Zone) based traffic. 

Bug ID: NC-94019

Currently under investigation. 

One workaround in a broader Scale would be using Central Wireless + VLAN Tagging, if applicable. 

Just wanted to share this workaround / alternative deployment method. (That is the reason, i did not pick up this issue, as i do not use any separate zone anymore and moved everything to VLAN). 

Central Wireless is free to use.

We are also facing issue of with wireless separate guest  network . I have deleted  guest  zone and recreated it ,then added to acces point group again then only it works......

Temporary workaround provided by Support Engineer which I believe I can share here.

You need to modify the timer value in /sys/class/net/<affected_interface_name>/bridge/ageing_time from 0 to 30000. In my case:

# echo 30000 > /sys/class/net/wlnet3/bridge/ageing_time

After above modification traffic started to hit the firewall rule as before the upgrade to v19.0.1 MR-1.

I can confirm LuCarToni's workaround. I had the same problem after upgrading from 18.5.2 to 19.0.1.
I put the access points (without Central Wireless) into several VLANs and so far I have no more problems. It is of course a little effort to provide the active components (switches) with the VLANs, but are with us and our customers all managed switches
And I have also gained more flexibility, because I can now determine exactly in which directions the data traffic between the WLANs and the LANs should run.

Best regards

This is pretty much what I did when I switched to Central Wireless. I substituted VLANs for the VXLANs that XG-based wireless used. I don't use the WiFi zone anymore, but instead it's three zones corresponding to three AP-based VLANs: LAN, Guest, and Work_IoT. (Actually, LAN is a bridge between an AP-based VLAN and a wired port for a server.)

Works great.
