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,

Tried it earlier and it didnt do much apart from site there spinning the synchronising wheel. Now trying again and its been sat there spinning. If I do a test connection, it immediately times out.

Hi Richard,

It should work in PUSH mode if SF and SFM devices are in same LAN and directly reachable.

Can you email (ravi.b.patel@sophos.com) me SFM/SF device admin login credential & SSH access to check issue further.

Ravi

Hi Richard,

As per our troubleshooting session, SF connection on port 4444 was getting failed from SFM. We have disable the firewall rule in SF which blocking the port 4444  traffic to resolve the issue.

Hi Ravi,

I see v16 was just released for SFM, but when will our SCFM instances get updated to v16?

Seems strange to roll out the v16 firmware for SFM without updating the cloud hosted SCFM instances as well?

Kind regards,
Stuart Mitchell

Hi Stuart,

SCFM v16 will be released in March-2017

Hi,

SFM v16 and SFM v16.5 version release is in-progress but i don't have timeline detail for the same. Once i get the timeline i will update you.

SFOS 16.01.4 MR-3 is not GA version of SFOS .It is released to specific customers and partners. Compatibility is not added for SFOS 16.01.4 MR-3 version with SFM/SCFM.

Hi Ravi

Thanks for your fast answer. Then we will wait for the final release.

Ok and where can I see, that the release 16.01.4-342 isn't a GA release? That's an important information, which I can't see on "Firmeware Updates" on my sophos.com account under "Network Protection"... Can you please look that that will be better displayed?

Hi Roman,

Currently there is no way to see in a nice and quick way that particular release is GA or not. 16.01.4 MR3 is a special release which release to 16.01.3 MR2 customers only and only via MySophos.

Please upgrade your XG device to latest SFOS release firmware version 16.05.2.160.

Ravi

Hi Ravi

Yes I'll do that in the next two weeks. ;)
