question regarding limitation of Lightspeed 100G interfaces and enabling UPPAK

Wolfgang — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 12:26:18 GMT

We want to enable UPPAK to get some of the benefits, but with MLS / QLS appliances there are still a lot of limitations following Known Limitations (LightSpeed 10/25/40/100G QSFP28 Ports Administration Guide)

I want to check maybe something changed...

Software Blades

Firewall

LightSpeed Appliances QLS and MLS with 100G Ports are shipped with a license that supports only the Firewall Software Blade.

You can purchase licenses for additional Software Blades.

However, the 100G Ports accelerate the traffic only for the Firewall Software Blade.

R81.10

Still not yet a solution to accelerate other then firewall-blade traffic ?

IoC

It is not supported to use the Threat Prevention Custom Intelligence Feeds feature (sk132193) to import IP Address lists to a blacklist.

R81.10

We had this smooth running with 9300 appliances and UPPAK on, but there are no 100G interface in this gateways. But how about a solution with MLS200 ? sk132193 does not show any limitation regarding UPPAK.

VPN was discussed at CPX.

Also as I recall UPPAK offers some mild improvement for TP unrelated to the 100G NIC at this time.

sk179432 is a further useful source of relevant detail.

Thanks Chris, following sk179432, still only firewall blade will be accelerated.
