Is it still limited to 8 interfaces in R80.40?</P> Wed, 27 Jul 2022 13:26:29 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/CloudGuard-Virtual-Edition-VE-R80-40-What-is-the-max-number-of/m-p/153990#M935 67d2287b-bb00-4 2022-07-27T13:26:29Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/CloudGuard-Virtual-Edition-VE-R80-40-What-is-the-max-number-of/m-p/154001#M936 <P>How many do you need and why?</P> <P>There is an upper limit to the number of vCPUs that typically makes sense from a performance perspective. This might see a workload split and in turn reduce the number of interfaces each instance has...</P> Wed, 27 Jul 2022 14:13:20 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/CloudGuard-Virtual-Edition-VE-R80-40-What-is-the-max-number-of/m-p/154001#M936 Chris_Atkinson 2022-07-27T14:13:20Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/CloudGuard-Virtual-Edition-VE-R80-40-What-is-the-max-number-of/m-p/154005#M937 <P>I do have a setup with 6 interfaces in each node in a HA cluster in remote cloud environment. This is the only L3 routing device I have. Each node have 4 vCPUs.</P><P>I have a new request for 3 new VLANs to be routed for a POC with low traffic utilization, making a total of 9 interfaces per node.
