R82 feedback

the_rock · ‎2024-06-19

Hey boys and girls,

Wanted to quickly share about R82 EA, as I ended up upgrading my R81.20 standalone lab to see what the process looked like. So far, not too bad, it took bit of time, as its standalone, so had to re-import the mgmt database.

I would say, make sure you have enough space in root dir, and also, something to keep in mind below.

Smart console looks literally the same, but I see there are way more options in legacy dashboard for mobile access blade.

Https inspection policy also looks more robust than before, so thats fantastic.

This is what came up after the upgrade, not sure if its expected. I will keep adding more things as I discover them.

[Expert@CP-STANDALONE:0]# cpinfo -y fw1
cp_get_kernel_version: ERROR: kernel version 4.18.0-372.9.1cpx86_64 is unknown. Perhaps 4.18.0-372.9.1cpx86_64 needs to be added as a version to cp_get_kernel_version and CpOsKernelVersion?

This is Check Point CPinfo Build 914000248 for GAIA

This is Check Point's software version R82 - Build 760

Best,

This may already have been asked, but do we know if/when R82 is coming to SMB devices? I think the current version is R81.10.15

I asked that same question to our SE, since customer asked me about it, but he told me they did not know yet for sure. So, in short, I guess 2 words...stay tuned : - )

Let's see what happens, it would have made sense to align all the product versions.

Since AI is part of our lives, no matter if we like it or not, here is an official AI copilot answer. So during 2024 can really mean, any day, any month 🙂
