How to enable Sophos Central management of your XG Firewall

You need to turn on Sophos Central management on XG Firewall and accept the request on Sophos Central.

Introduction

You'll need a Sophos Central account (either a license or trial).

Sign in to XG Firewall and go to Central Synchronization.
Click Register and add the email address and password for your Sophos Central administrator account. Click Register.

For instructions on how to create a Sophos Central administrator account, see the video available on Sophos Central: Getting Started.
Turn on Sophos Central Services.

Sign in to the Sophos Central Admin account with which you've registered XG Firewall.
Go to Firewall Management.
On the Firewalls page, find your recently registered firewall and click Accept services.
On XG Firewall, you can check its management status. Click Central Synchronization and check if the status has changed from Waiting for approval from Sophos Central to Managed.

This can take up to two minutes to change from Waiting for approval from Sophos Central to Managed.

Once the status changes to Managed, your XG Firewall is ready to be managed by Sophos Central.
You can sign out of your XG Firewall, and in the future, you can manage your XG Firewall by clicking the firewall's name in Sophos Central on the Firewalls page.

It may take a few seconds for your firewall's web admin console to open.
