Hi Jose,

Compatibility for SFOS V16 Build 16.01.1.202 in SFMv15 will be release by end of October-2016.

Once the compatibility has been released, User can push SFOS V16 new feature configuration though SFM/CFMv15 from device level only. User is not able to push configuration of new feature of SFOS v16 though SFM/CFMv15 from Group level.

Hi Ravi,

Hooray! Just to clarify, this update will also be pushed to the cloud partner firewall manager?

Hi Emile,

This update will also be pushed to the cloud partner firewall manager. SFOS V16 Build 16.01.1.202 firmware compatibility support will be release for both SFM and CFM v15.

Just to clarify, Sophos will not be releasing V16 SFM/CFM firmware by October end but it will releasing compatibility support for SFOS v16 firmware in SFM/CFM V15 version.

Hope this clarify your concern.

Hi Ravi,

It does, that's great!

Hi Ravi,

thanks for your help. It seems like the update is available as hot fix. When I discover a new device with v16 in SFM, it shows:

however I can't find how to "use device level view"

Do you have any info?

Thanks again for all your help.

Regards,

Jose 

Ho Jose,

To open Device level Dashboard , you have to click on Home -->  Device Configuration & select the device from "Filter" option. It will open Device level dashboard for that particular device.

Hi Ravi, 

I tried that but still can't access the XG with SFOS 16:

What else should I do?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Jose

Hi Jose,

What will happen when you click on your XG v16 device from provided screenshot ?

Ravi

Hi Jose,

I have checked in SFM & found compatibility has not been acquired for SFOS 16.01.1.202 build. I have acquired the same and able to open v16 device level.

Please try to open v16 device level & let me know the status if you are facing any issue.

Ravi

It works but appears a Warning windows that advice that User Interface will be different, The SFM use still the old graphic interface vs the new one of the firmware v16 of the devices managed.

Hi Fabio,

SFM v15, we have provided compatibility support for SFOS v16 firmware only. so GUI is based on SFM v15 GUI.

Once SFM v16 firmware has been release, user will have new GUI based on SFOS v16 GUI.
