Changes in IPS packages

Zachi_Schnieder — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 19:12:20 GMT

Hi All,

As part of our on-going security improvement efforts, we plan to introduce some changes in IPS packages
Target Date for this change: March 26^th, 2023,
We have identified a limitation in SMB 1400, centrally managed by Smart Center/LSM;
This limitation is resolved on management side:
- R81.20 (Future JHF)
- R81.10 JHF 82
- R80.40 (Future JHF)
If the fix is not applied on management side, Policy process will fail with the message "Operation failed, install/uninstall has been improperly terminated".
If changes on management are not possible during this time, one of the following can be conducted as a temporary mitigation:
- Disable IPS updates
- Disable IPS blade (not recommended)
