Great news!!

Is there an estimate for the release date of on premise version?

[Shiran_Amiel]

Hi Pedro, R12.30 on premise version is available now.

[Pedro_Espindola]

Great! Already downloaded! Thank you

[Michel_de_Boer]

Nice, the on premise version is out but is there an upgrade procedure or just run the EXE file and go??

[Shiran_Amiel]

Hi Michel,

You can find the upgrade procedure in R12.30 Security Management Portal Installation Guide.
The upgrade procedure depends on the version which you are upgrading from and your SMP environment structure (Single/Multi servers)

Regards,

Shiran.

For an RFP I'm looking into centrally managing 460 SMB (770) gateways in SMP.

However, the customer also requires these devices to have WIFI.

Can I centrally manage WIFI settings in SMP? Worst-case, using CLI scripting?

[PhoneBoy]

You can certainly do this via CLI scripting (as they are clish commands).

Hi Dameon,
