I would like to get a definitive response regarding R80.20 support on 2200 appliances.
One of my clients has a bunch of 2200s (CPAP-SG2205), which is the lowest-end 2200, supposedly with only 1GB of RAM.
According to the EOL/EOS, these are supported until 2022.
That being said, the R77.30 support is expiring in September, the R80.20 comes in 64 bit flavor only and while I'd like to recommend the client to toss those units in the recycling bin, I'd like to back it up with some empirical data.
Where are the minimum hardware requirements for Check Point 2012 appliances slated for the R80.20 upgrades could be found?
I am pretty sure that the memory upgrade kits for those 2200s are no longer available and, even if they are, trading the 2200s for 3000s would probably make better financial sense.
Thank you,
Vladimir
@Maarten_Sjouw , thank you.
Do you know how I can determine that from SKUs?
@Maarten_Sjouw , no dice: all of them are either CPAP-SG2205 or CPAP-SG2205-HA units.
Thank you for your help.
Even with 4GB of RAM, the CPU (Intel Atom D525 1.80GHz Dual-Core) is quite underpowered in a 2200. Will probably work but policy installs and any operations that need to be performed in process space (HTTPS Inspection negotiations, Threat Emulation, Threat Extraction, Content Awareness, Identity Awareness without the Identity Collector) will be noticeably slow for sure. Would really recommend a trade-in for a 3000 series if possible.
@Timothy_Hall , thank you for chiming in on this subject.
I was thinking that even "in the good old days" of R77.30 that box with 1GB of RAM was essentially good for VPN to a hub, where the sausage was actually being made on something quite beefier.
Well,
It appears the client has 2GB in their units, but they have no budget for upgrades.
So, to get them into compliance, I am thinking of going the R80.10 32bit route until 2022, when they'll have to upgrade the hardware.
