Community Highlights

Meanwhile, here are the conversations worth watching in the community:

 

Support for R77.30 has been extended to September 2019 based on your feedback. 

Blocking the connection before final rule match: CPEarlyDrop 

Due to the column-based matching in R80.x gateways, it's possible to drop a connection before the rulebase is fully evaluated. This article explains this "early drop" mechanism.

R80.20 - new ClusterXL commands 

We've added some new commands to look at the state of ClusterXL in R80.20.

Using SNMP with SandBlast Network 

You can monitor the SandBlast Appliance with SNMP--here's how.

Do GEO location objects trump the IPS Geo policy? 

GeoProtection still works the same in R80.20 as it did in previous releases, but you now have the option to put countries in the regular Access Policy. For earlier releases, see: GEO Location Objects in Firewall Policy (with Dynamic Objects)‌

Difference between Session and Connection?? 

I cover this in my "Migrate to R80.20" talk I do in local user groups.

80.10 Management Server - 80.20 gateways? 

This will be supported soon...
