few questions of XG

I manage to install Sophos XG in Unetlab

https://nbctcp.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/unetlab-installation-on-esxi/

Few questions in my mind

1. whether XG has 2 firmware partition like in HP or Juniper, where I can upgrade Secondary partition first, then boot from it.
If ok then if needed I can upgrade Primary partition too

2. I want to test virtual XG Cluster Active/Active in Unetlab
Do I need two serial device license to emulate 2 different Hardware or just 1 license is enough


3. Is there in GUI that allow to set only allow GUI management from certain ip

 

thanks

    1. when you do an update and to be able to know if the new firmware works correctly, you have to boot with the newest one and try everything. If something is not working, you can rollback. So the scope of have 2 Firmware is to be able to rollback to previous firmware version without formatting the appliance (like UTM9).

    2. Every device has a unique Serial Number. When you cluster (A/A or A/P) both are kept but the license is managed by Sophos. They will issue a license that is able to work with both Appliance.

    3. Nothing to add (ACL exceptions is the key).
