Secure internal communication on R77 gateway

kehagen — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 22:03:20 GMT

I'm looking for documentation on how to configure secure internal communication on 4400 gateway appliance with R77.

First off, R77 has been unsupported probably before Covid 19 came along lol

Second, there is no documentation on it, all you do is run cpconfig, choose option sic, reset it (any minimum 4 character password) and once done, it will run cpstop; cpstart and then you enter that same code on gateway properties on the gateway object in the smart console and verify its communicating.

I assume it worked out? And btw, PLEASE upgrade, because if you called TAC and said "Im using R77", Im sure reaction would be...lets just say NOT serious lol

Yes. We are trying to upgrade as soon as possible. I don't even get to open a ticket or talk to anyone, so I'm learning as much as possible through this forum. Thank you very much.

You definitely came to the right place. There are people here all over the world who been around CP probably since the very beginning, so we always find some sort of solution.
