XG-650 v1 vs XG-650 v2

Remigio, using the console you should be able to change the ip for each port and get access to web interface where you can reassign interfaces properly.

Hi,

The menu driven interface only shows the configured interfaces, i.e. interface PortE1 is 10Gbps, nothing I did brought it up, ifconfig showed no link. Is there any other way to do it? (i.e. advanced shell?)

The appliance was originally configured as a bridge, copper ports were not in use. The original config on the v1 had the Mgmt port working, when I restored it on v2, the IP address was assigned to PortE1, so, no way to connect via the network and the MGMT port no longer shows up.

Anyway, since these are brand new appliances, I wiped them out, the 10Gbps port was now able to see the switch. I have the feeling I will have to start from scratch. Waiting to hear back from Sophos support.

Thanks.

Remigio,

Did you try the option: system appliances_access enable, from console?

From advanced shell you can try to bring the bridge up using  the brctl command.

Let us know

Brctl show

If I read the manual correctly, the appliances_access enable should disable all the firewall rules?, if that is the case, I still have the problem that none of the interfaces show as up (as per ifconfig and ethtool).

I really didn't want to start using the native OS commands, I will try to bring one of the copper interfaces up manually and see what happens (fresh restore, just to play it safe).

I will keep you posted.

Thanks.

Issue resolved. After restoring the 2nd time, the fiber port showed as UP, even though it had the wrong IP address, I was able to make the changes via the console and then regain GUI. The rest was just reassigning the interfaces used by the bridge.

Thanks.
