Sophos SG125 - IPS FATAL error after applying backup on new hardware

Hi Community.

I did a hardware refresh of a SG125.

Created a backup on my "old" appliance, started the new one, updated to the latest version and imported the backup.

After some time the connection to the internet got lost (could not resolve DNS queries) and I was wondering what happened so I checked the logs.
In the IPS log there is a fatal error:

"2021:04:15-18:12:03 gateway snort[20140]: FATAL ERROR: Failed to initialize dynamic preprocessor: SF_S7COMMPLUS version 1.0.1 (-1)"

Current FW: 9.705-3
Patterns: 197756

When I turn off IPS the system works fine.
I want to avoid reconfiguring the appliance.

Has anyone experienced this error and can help me?

Thank you,
Daniel

  • Hallo Daniel,

    I would be tempted to re-image with the 9.705 hardware ISO and then restore again.  If that doesn't resolve this, you may have a dead 125.  Please let us know what happens.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Hi BAlfson.

    Thanks I will give it a shot. Just had to buy a external CD drive to go the officially supported way :-).

    I will update this post with my results.

  • The re-imaging did the trick.

    After that I was able to restore the backup and everything is working again.

    Thanks a lot for your help.
