Checkpoint 1450 Upgrade

Hi All,

We are planning to upgrade the Checkpoint 1450 Firewall. However, i am not finding much details on the latest version and the way we upgrade it except the below SK.

https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk120512

Below is the current version running on the firewall.:

This is Check Point's 1450 Appliance R77.20.86 - Build 855
kernel: R77.20.86 - Build 775

If anyone can help me in the link which could suggest me the upgrade procedure and the latest version that will be helpful. As this is SMB embedded device never upgraded these firewalls before. And it is standalone box, so have to make sure all the steps are followed. Please suggest.

Regards,

Sanjay S

Use show diag in CLISH to show the firmware version installed - fw1_sx_dep_R77_990173120_20.img would be the newest, seeLatest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances ...

A related question: Is it possible to upload the new image to the 1450 in preparation for the upgrade, without actually starting the upgrade process? If so, how?

Generally this isn't an issue / request we see as the upgrade files for SMB appliances are only ~160MB in size.

Mind you this is sort of how the "Manual Upgrade" process already works, you are prompted to proceed with the install(upgrade) phase after the image upload is complete and verified.

I expect if you left the appliance on this page for too long without proceeding however the admin/UI session would timeout in the browser in accordance with the default/configured settings (MAX 999 minutes) and I wouldn't rely on such an approach.

From https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk143274&partition=Advanced&product=Quantum:

Copy the image to /storage directory (using WinSCP)
