[9.200][ANSWERED] SUM 4.2 and UTM 9.2

I am currently reviewing a recent KB on the interaction between SUM 4.2 and UTM 9.2 and wanted to confirm this is the actual behavior:

SUM

UTM SUM = 4.2:

UTM 9.2 (9.1 etc)?

for some reason sum is NOT cross version compatible. if you want to use the latest SUM you HAVE to use the latest 9.x or whatever. I just found this out the hard way..so if you are using SUM don't upgrade your utm's until sum is also available for the new utm version or you loose the functionality of SUM.

Thanks kindly William. Just tested myself and looks like that is indeed the case. No SUM configuration support for 9.2 AND 9.1 releases.

Cheers [:)]

Hey guys,

We are preparing to release the SUM 4.2 pretty soon!
There will be a beta forum also available for it, so in case of issues and other useful information make sure to check it out.
SUM 4.2 Beta Forum will be made visible as soon as the version is released.

Best

I am still running SUM4.0 and I am able so configure 9.2.

I use VPN configs and definition deployment.

Hi there,

SUM 4.2 was released. You may find the overview in this announcement: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/83/t/65935

Also, for few open issues, you can check here: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/83/t/65936

Best regards,
Bianca

@Sven: because UTM 9.2 introduces many features (for example Web Protection which looks completely different), it is not guaranteed that the changes are properly done with SUM 4.0. This is not recommended!

Thanks "TinkerBell". In the notes for the 4.2 beta it indicates that...

"You can Up2Date from SUM 4.1 to SUM 4.2 Beta"

But I am unable to locate an u2d file in ftp://ftp.astaro.com/SUM/v4/up2date/ or in the "Beta" folder (ftp://ftp.astaro.com/SUM/v4/beta/). Only the full ISO for 4.1880-18-1.

Cheers [:)]

Hi Platos,

We are working on the up2date package as we speak. It will be made available somewhere in the next few days.

Best regards,
Bianca

Hey William,

yes we are going to release a firmware up2date from SUM 4.1 to 4.2. We're currently testing the up2date for the SUM 4.2 beta. This upgrade to the beta version is set to be released early next week.

Best Regards,
