Hi folks,
I decided to rebuild my XG and reconfigure from scratch.
1/. less networks and no vlans
2/. less dhcp servers
3/. one AP55 with 4 SSIDs
4/. 2 ISPs very slow links
5/. reduced number of firewall rules now 6 was 8.
Results
1/. Used existing XG licence hoping to fix certificate issues, wrong, now get serial number errors because the licence activation uses the original licence request details.
2/. MTA installed by default does not work. No outgoing mail. Nothing shows in XG logs as to the mail messages actually reaching the XG.
3/. Appears to be better throughput or at least less issues with a troublesome site my wife visits. i have not needed to add an exception for it.
4/. Even though one of the networks is not connected the dashboard shows networks to be green, previously with all networks 4 physical and 3 vlans indicator would be orange.
5/. using the XG as the DNS.
6/. minor point of interest, the LG TV as soon as it was connected was registered as attacking 3 external apache servers. Not done that since refining firewall rules.
7/. I have fine tuned the IPS well sort of removed the linux server, ERP and control stuff.
8/. do not seem to be seeing the same amount of junk in the reports which required fine tuning of the WEB filters.
