About R81.20 T634

[fjulianom]

Hi everyone,

I am having issues when installing the recommended version R81.20 JHF T84 for an MDS. Because my new machine doesn't have access to Internet, I am going to install R81.20 Take 634 (from https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/124397):

Then, import the JHF T84 with CPUSE (from https://support.checkpoint.com/results/download/134941, which is for R81.20 Take 631, there is not for R81.20 Take 634, I don't know why):

After doing this process, I have R81.20 T631 with JHF T84:

But what happens with R81.20 Take 634? According to my first image "Effective June 3, 2024, the R81.20 Gaia images have been replaced with Take 634.". I assume this is because the JHF T84 TGZ file I downloaded is for Take 631, but as said, I didn't find for Take 634. Is this process fine? Am I missing something?

Regards,

Julián

Hi @fjulianom 

You are right our blink images are with take 631 + the recommended jumbo 

because our jumbo starting take 65 contain the VPN CVE which was released in take 634 you can be  sure you are not missing anything and you are secure 

we are checking internally how we can improve our blinks and have them with take 634 and not with take 631 as the base version  

Thanks 

Matan.

Hi,

Then, is R81.20 Take 631 + JHF T84 fine?

Hi 

Indeed all good!

Hi,

OK. By the way, can you clarify what's is the difference in Check Point between version, release, take, build, hot fix, jumbo hot fix. There are a lot of terms...

Regards,

Julián

- Version is e.g. R81.20 that is different from R81 and R81.10.

- from time to time, new installation media builds with different take numbers will be available that include important fixes https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk173903

- Jumbo Takes for the Versions are available here: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk174185

- SmartConsole versions are maintained e.g. here https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R81.10_SC/R81.10/R81.10-List-of-all-Resolved-Issues.h...

- special HFAs will be suggested by support for occuring issues only

Hi,

OK, many thanks. Check Point should review its official links, they are not updated and contradictory.

From sk174185 

From R81.20 Jumbo Hotfix Take 84

The blink image you're referring to has both the base version and the JHF in it. If you are doing the version upgrade with the R81.20 take 634 package, you would not then install the blink image, you would install just the JHF by itself (the top download link in your second screenshot.

Hi,

But they make it confusing, because the top link says “Security Gateway / Security Management”, and not “Multi-Domain Security Management Server”, as the link I referred to… I will try with the top link…

UPDATE

I have tried and it worked! That's the process. I imagine there is not aN ISO file which contains the R81.20 version plus the JHF 84, right?
