Linux Based super node
Hello community,
I am facing the need to enable super nodes in a deployment and the customer requested to do it with some linux based servers. I have check sk171703 and it says Super Node is a "Windows machine" so i would think linux is not supported for this purpose.
However i tried to configure a linux endpoint as super node on EPMaaS and it allowed the configuration without any warning. The super node is applied to a client settings policy at this momment and I am trying to fin if it is actually working.
Is it possible anyone could confirm is linux is or is not supported for Super Node? Thanks in advance.
Regards

Note: Super Node for Mac and Linux systems is not yet supported, but is in the roadmap for 2024.

Even if it works (and, I'll admit, I don't know the answer), you're still in unsupported territory since the SK explicitly says it's not.
Also, I see no mention of it being added in the Harmony Endpoint Linux SK: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk170198

Hello Lesley,
Do you know if this super node for Mac and Linux will be able to run on Linux systems? or they will have to be windows mandatory?

Guys gave you correct answers. Just to be sure, I reached out to our SE and he also confirmed its windows ONLY, for now.
Best,
Andy

To summarize
- Super node for Linux based clients is not yet supported but on roadmap
- The plan is for the same Windows based super node to support all types of endpoint clients (windows, Linux, Mac). This reduces the number of moving parts in network and items to be managed. There are no plans for support of a super node that runs on a Linux platform
