R80.40 GA when?

[Dale_Lobb]

I have a near term deployment of new firewalls and management system, so I was wondering when R80.40 GA might be available.  Any news?

[PhoneBoy]

Unfortunately we can't give an exact date.
The fact we're discussing R80.40 features at CPX means it's pretty close.

[Dorit_Dor · Accepted solution]

We closed the release but as we release by quality and not by date, therefore the release may still take more days (pending more EA feedback). 
i would certainly hope to have it released in the next days but as said, if we find blockers we may delays 

important reminder,...: 

In the new process of releasing frequent releases (started in r80.30) when we do release, we recommend it for those that need the new features now, We then take few more weeks to gain confidence (after more deployments), usually release also a jumbo ... and then  we recommend it for wider/default use. 

So ... If you do not plan to leverage  new content of r80.40 in day one,  use r80.30 as its safe and widely used. If you do plan to leverage the new capabilities of r80.40 immediately, you can wait a bit more.

Already release R80.40 GA now.

Release notes:

"SCP and SFTP file transfers can be scanned using SSH Deep Packet Inspection."

don't see anything regarding this in the SmartConsole.
Any hints?
best regards

@VincentBacher  - In order to enable SSH inspection you need to follow Threat Prevention R80.40 Administration guide,

under "SSH Deep Packet Inspection" section.

To enable SSH DPI

1. On the Gateway, Run:

cpssh_config ion

2. Run this command:

fw fetch local

3. Or install the Access Controlpolicy in SmartConsole

You meant section in the admin guide, correct?
In SmartConsole there's nothing to see?

[Ilya_Yusupov]

Correct in the admin guide, not in smart console.

@Ilya_Yusupov , Question relating to IoT support in R80.40:

right now it says MDM is not supported:

any rough idea then it will be published for MDM too?

Thanks! K

Please contact your local office/SE in parallel to express your interest.
Thanks

Hi, 

Indeed,  IoT controller is not supported with MDM.

This is planned to be fixed down the road,

We are looking for relevant opportunities, IoT controller and MDM, and if there are such, we will promote the fix
