Hi folks,
just a few days ago I upgraded my ASG 8.3.07 for Sophos UTM 9.004-33. I'm using a "home license" on my own hardware with 5 NICs and all things are working fine so far and over years now [:)] Thank you, Astaro!
I'm running a few linux servers with debian squeeze. One of them is directly connected by USB to an APC BACK-UPS RS 1500. On all debian machines the APCUPSD is installed. On the machine directly connected to the UPS by USB in "Master" mode and on the other ones in "Slave" mode.The slaves are polling the master on port 3551/TCP every n seconds to keep informed about power failures and getting shutdown signals if required.
Now I'd like to keep my UTM 9 machine informed about current power status and get shut down signals on power failure also. Not just hard "switched off" like tracking the power plug when UPS is empty.
Well, actually I'm able to install the apcupsd in slave mode on my UTM 9 machine and let it poll the master. But, is this the right way? I.e. just installing my own software on a system running a firewall? I think that's no good idea ;-)
So my question is: Is there is any "build in" or "default" methode in UTM 9 to shut down the device over ethernet when power in UPS is running down?
Many thanks in advance and greetinx
Guido
