UTM-1 3070 upgrade to R80.30

supruzer1 — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 15:06:48 GMT

Hello Mates,

Two questions:

1. Is UTM-1 3070 upgradeable to R80.30 from R77.30?

2. Why can I still manage UTM-1 3070 cluster, policy, etc from SMS at R80.40? I have read its not manageable. I am confused.

Cheers!

Unfortunately UTM-1 3070 is not supported by newer software as were EOL in 2017.

R80.40 Management is backwards compatible.

UTM-1 3070s were introduced in 2007 (as I recall) and have been out of support for some time.
The last supported release on this appliance is R77.30, which itself is End of Support.

Having said that, R80.40 can manage R77.30 gateways.
Even the just-released R81.20 can still manage R77.30 gateways: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_RN/Content/Topics-RN/Backward-Compatibility.htm?tocpath=Supported%20Backward%20Compatibility%20Gateways%7C_____0#Supported_Backward_Compatibility_Gateways
