Firmware v16.0.5.1 experience

Hi all,

Does anyone already has experience with Sophos XG Firewall Firmware version 16.0.5.1? I can't find anything about it.

  • Jeffrey,

    can you explain better your question?

    I have installed XG v16.05 MR1 and it works great (apart I am having a IMAP error. XG does not allow to connect anymore to my external IMAP server. Connection is blocked).

    Apart that, now POP3s is working fine. I will upgrade the firmware on XG210 in a few days.

    Thanks

  • Hi Iferrara,

    I upgraded my software firewall from 16.01.2 to 16.05.0 and it was a disaster, so I was wondering what the overall experience is with the 16.05.1 before I upgrade my device.

  • Seems they have a fixed a few IPS related problems but otherwise MR1 is fairly similar to 16.05. If you had major problems, you will likely will have similar problems. But as  pointed out, its hard to tell without knowing exactly what problems you were having.

  • Hi Billybob,

    The problem I experienced with the 16.05.0 was that my software firewall kept rebooting every 30 seconds. I don't know what the source of the problem was, because I had too little time to research the problem. Maybe it had to do with the IPS problem losts of people had, but I don't know.

    So this is why I was wondering what the experience with 16.05.1 is so far.

    I've made the same experience with 16.05.2 MR-2!

    After I upgraded to this version I get constant reboots every 30secs, a downgrade to the previous firmware also doesn't fix that problem - had to restore a backup.

     

    This is a complete messed up release - now staying on 16.01.3 MR-2...
