1550 / 1590 Jumbo Frames Support

G_W_Albrecht — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 10:35:56 GMT

I was not able to locate this in the new features listing from sk159173 - but in sk111407 Jumbo Frames Support we read:

Small and Medium Business Appliances
1550 / 1590	Starting from R80.30 Jumbo Hotfix Take 76

OK, in fact you will you need central management with R80.30 JT 111, but it is a real enhancement as:

The following appliances do not support Jumbo Frames:

600 / 1100 / 1200R / 700 / 1400 / 900 Small and Medium Business Appliances

But sk159772 Check Point R80.20 for 1500 Appliances Features and Known Limitations tells us that neither centrally nor locally managed 1500s do support Jumbo Frames...

I have provided SK feedback to get at the truth in this.

Jumbo Frames aren't supported on the 1550/1590 appliances.
We'll get the documentation updated accordingly.

Your feedback was:

------------------

Here, Small and Medium Business Appliances 1550 / 1590 supportt Jumbo Frames - this is contradicted with the NO from sk159772 Check Point R80.20 for 1500 Appliances Features and Known Limitations ! So please decide if it is supported or not 😉

They did it again 😟 :

SecureKnowledge solution ID: sk111407 and Title: "Jumbo Frames Support" has now been edited based on your feedback.

It was and now shows:

Small and Medium Business Appliances
1550 / 1590	Starting from R80.30 Jumbo Hotfix Take 111

I can at least prove this to be wrong for a centrally managed 1550 :

And of course i will not believe it for locally managed 15x0 as long as sk157412 1500 Series Security Gateways does not mention this important feature at all...

Hey, i seem to have succeeded :

---

R&D confirmed that SMB appliances do not support Jumbo Frames. The documentation was, as you pointed out, incorrect. I apologize for your inconvenience.

I have updated the two SKs we discussed below.

Thanks again for taking the time to send me your feedback.

Sincerely,

Liron Rubin
