Community Highlights

Here are the threads to watch from the last week:

R80.30 JHF Take 19 is GA

For those waiting for the first GA jumbo before upgrading to R80.30, now you've got it!

ClusterXL Synchronization Network Bandwidth

Gigabit is usually sufficient, but it can be higher.

One-liner Show Office Mode IP User Timeout

We like these kinds of one-liners on CheckMates.

VPN Community Shared Secret Keys Are Not Shown

By design in R80+.

Object Categories Not Displaying Correctly

Funny thing is, I ran into a similar issue during a CheckMates Live event this week. We are aware of the issues.

R80.20 Management Feature Release Abandoned?

Use R80.30 instead.

Multiple Types of Objects in Source Column Leading to Policy Verification Failure

Mixing Access Roles and regular network objects in a source is blocked by design.

Not Able to Set session-timeout with mgmt_cli

Specifically when using --root true.
