Migrate AP55c from UTM9 to XG

Darren,

I tested AP10, AP55 on XG and then moved back to UTM without issue. I did not test the AP55c but access point should be intelligent to download the right firmware (UTM or XG) without any issue.

AP are controlled by XG/UTM using a special ping mechanism, so if the controller goes down, the AP does not work anymore.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification Luk - I must have been having a senior moment :)

The downside we have identified for the Sophos APs is that if a remote office with Sophos APs is connected to head-office UTM via VPN and everything routes through the VPN, when connectivity is lost, the APs go offline and the remote offices cannot even access their local devices (e.g. printers / local NAS) via WiFi.

Regards

Darren

Darren,

yours point of view is a nice idea. They can improve this aspect by allowing the Admins to decide what to do if the AP does not reach the XG. Also I would like to have the possibility to configure static IP for AP (this is another idea).

Open a feature request on http://ideas.sophos.com/forums/330219-sophos-xg-firewall and I will give a vote for having "always on" feature on Sophos AP.

Thanks

Thanks Luk.

Darren,

I gave you one vote. I advise you to open a new thread where you explain the missing feature and share even the ideas URL. This thread has a different meaning and title so other users will not find your feature request easily and vote it either.

Thanks
