Sophos Firewall Router

Blairport

Guys we are about to change providers and IP - What is the best practice for doign this ? I dont want to upset the existing rules etc Is it OK to alter the WAN profile from the previous IP configuration or will this make things wonky ?? 

We wish to keep the old IP and service (different provider) for failover but in my opinion that could be setup as another WAN profile not affecting the day to day primary interface ,,,

    Hi,

    which model hardware are you using and what firmware version? If you have a spare port you can connect the old ISP to that and your new ISP to your existing wan port. The break will be while the XG sets up the new connection. Any rues you have that require specific access to your old IP will need to be changed to the spare wan interface.
