  • The latest firmware releases removed some alerts, which were in the product. The next alert to be removed is the "Central Managed" alert, which is currently static. All other alerts are removable by "resolving the situation". Deletion/acknolowdiging is something, which requires are complete overhowl of the control center alert system, which is not planned soon. 

    The removal of "XG" is something valid for future releases. Not planned yet. 

    Login notification is currently possible for CFR, if you want to get a report per day of who logged in and when. But not for the "instant notification". This is on the backlog.

  • Same problem as other Users with the HA.

    At one customer a HA pair of XGS2100 just hung up, so WebGUI was unresponsive.

    Reboot over the display was not possible, after unplugging the devices took about 20min for the boot to be completed.

    An other customer has 2 died XGS2100 after the update to 19.5 MR1, one died directly after the update, the other a few days later.

    Both firewalls have problems with the disk an had to be replaced by Sophos (fortunately they were quickly replaced).

  • For the first customer we don't create cases because the reboot of the HA cluster did the trick.

    For the second customer we had created the following cases:

    Case #06334422 and #06365999

    Both firewalls had to be replaced due to hard disk problems after the update to 19.5 MR1.

    Also the rebuild of the HA was not easy, I had problems that after the rebuild several interfaces were not accessible. (which took about 10 min including some ping losses)

    Only a failover to the auxillery firewall has solved the problem.

    We are now monitoring the firewalls, the customer is unfortunately a bit pissed off.
