Actually, we can't create a report of the number of times that sophos RED Devices go from UP state to DOWN but we need it because of this manner we can have better clarity

Dear Sophos Team,

please implement configurable Wire-Speed Settings on the RED WAN Interface.

Right now it's on autonegotiation.
Unfortunately there are some broken routers and sometimes the RED WAN Interface need to be set to e.g. 100 mbits Full-Duplex.

Please also take a look at https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/17359-sg-utm/suggestions/18573559-configurable-mtu-on-red , if AutoNeg is broken, MTU may also have a hiccup.

I want to Monitor the two WAN-Interfaces of the RED50 with snmp.

Another Thing is: I want the second WAN Interface to be permanently on and refreshing the DHCP-Address, as it usual, not only if the Interface is in use..

We have 100+ sites around the country. Settings up ADSL or any other form of wired connection as sites only last around 1-2 months.

Allowing the RED device to use the USB Dongle as its primary connection would be great so they can be setup without needing a wired connection.

It would be handy if you could use the UTM console to reboot a remote ethernet device (RED). Right now always someone on the other side is needed in case a RED needs a power cycle.

PCI Compliance will always fail on current UTMs using RED. This is due to being unable to disable SSL v3 on this as well as being unable to change the certificates used (currently weak, not using at least 2048 bit keys). Please fix!

Please create a Webadmin or cc Option for setting MTU size in transparent split mode.

It should survive an Red reboot / Red Firmwareupdate and should be redistributable in a cluster environment.

It would be great if you could define MAC-based authentication on the RED devices with 802.1X and a RADIUS server to ensure that just our own notebooks and phones on the remote locations can enter our company network. Foreign MAC-adresses should not be authenticated and blocked.

We would like a way to view the current usage of a Red device, including CPU, bandwidth, and other usages.

I think it would be great if we have an option to move the DHCP server for RED networks from the UTM to the RED device. This would allow normal LAN access (e.g. file and print sharing) at the remote site even with a disconnected or outage on your uplink.

It would be useful to be able to monitor the RED devices via external monitoring systems like Nagios. Currently it is only possible to monitor the status of the local interface, which does not give any information about the actual status of the RED-tunnel.
It would be nice to be able to monitor the status of RED-tunnels (and possibly even some remote information like IP-information, connected LAN-ports et cetera)

This added mode could mean no disruption to the branch operations in case the UTM is down due to internet issues and cannot be up soon enough. Once the RED detected the UTM is up, it will establish connection and all traffic can be channel to the UTM once again.

Hey Guys, are there any plans for new RED Devices? Maybe a VPN throughput about 1000 MBit/s.
Thanks

When the internet connection drops at the main site (UTM location) the RED restarts to get the tunnel up again. When (for some reason) the internet connection stays down at the main site all internet activities at the remote location are down due to continuous restarts of the RED. If the *** only tries to pick up the tunnel, the internet at the remote location can still be used.

It would be nice if we have a local (cached) log function in the RED.
On the UTM we only have the opportunity to see RED online or disconnected, but not why.
Therefore, a local RED logging would be great, which sends the information to the UTM when the RED is available again. For example: RED WAN port down, RED get no DHCP address, no connection to Sophos on port 3400 or something like this - to increase the possibilities of analysis.

I would like to be able to rename/change the description in the "Branch Name" field of the RED sites. I see that in the WebAdmin there doesn't seem to be a way.

When we get an alert that "redXX is down" it would be really helpful to not have to dig up my notes on which site that actually is. This should be a standard feature.

More detail about this are posted on the forum:
http://www.astaro.org/other-products/remote-ethernet-device-red/47745-rename-red-branch-name.html

one of the main reasons i didn't get red yet was because it lack of controlling remote office internet usage.
it would be amazing if it had web filer and firewall to have more control
