A new status of \u201cTurned off\u201d is shown directly on the Control Center for disabled interfaces. It is not possible to disable alias or tunnel interfaces, or interfaces that are individual members of a LAG or Bridge, however you can disable the entire LAG or Bridge interface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Object Reference Lookup<\/strong> \u2013 You can now see the usage count of all host and service objects as well as a full list of all locations where that object is referenced such as in rules, policies, routing, etc.\u00a0 You can also directly edit or remove objects for many entities without switching context from the hosts and services list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hi-Res Display User Interface Scalability<\/strong> \u2013 The management console now takes advantage of high-resolution displays scaling the interface and enabling tables to utilize full HD width (1920 pixels) to display more information, reducing the need to scroll horizontally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Auto-Rollback on Failed Firmware Updates<\/strong> \u2013 If a firewall device fails to complete a firmware upgrade for any reason, including devices in an high-availability cluster, the device (or cluster) will be rolled back automatically to the previous firmware version and an alert will appear in the Control Center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backup Restore Enhancements<\/strong> \u2013 Backups from a Sophos Firewall with integrated WiFi can now be restored to a device without integrated WiFi if the associated wireless networks are first removed before running the backup.<\/p>\n<h2>Check out all the new features in v20<\/h2>\n<p>Sophos Firewall v20 includes a ton of great new capabilities.
