What command do you enter in Device Console to ascertain why the Sophos Firewall is in failsafe mode?

The command that provides insight into why the Sophos Firewall is in failsafe mode is "show failure-reason." This command specifically retrieves information about the underlying issues or failures that have caused the system to enter this state. Failsafe mode is typically triggered in response to critical issues that need attention, and understanding the reason behind this can help in troubleshooting and resolving the problem.

By executing this command in the Device Console, administrators can access logged messages and diagnostic information related to failures, allowing them to identify the root cause and take appropriate action. This promotes efficient management of the firewall and ensures that it can return to normal operational status as quickly as possible.

Other commands may provide various types of information or diagnostics, but only "show failure-reason" is specifically designed to directly communicate the failures leading to failsafe mode. Consequently, using this command is essential for effective troubleshooting in this scenario.
