If you have already seen my earlier posts, you will know all about the R82 Early Availability Program available here.
Keep reading to discover some of the planned new features on offer in R82:
VSX
The default value for concurrent connections in the Virtual System object was increased from 15,000 to 50,000 (Optimizations section > Capacity Optimization page).
In the VSNext mode, the Expert mode command “clish -c” now supports the context of a Virtual Gateway / Virtual Switch with this syntax: clish -v -c “”
VPN
When a Check Point Management Server creates an IKE certificate, by default this certificate contains the “Server Authentication” attribute within the “Extended Key Usage” field.
Scalable Platforms
On the MaestroOrchestratorMHO-175 ports, increased the default MTU size from 9216 to 10240 bytes.
On a MaestroSecurity Group, in the output of the “asg if” command, the column header changed from “Link State (ch1)/(ch2)” to “Link State (site1)/(site2)”.
Please note all of these product features are in their early stages and at the discretion of Check Point could be removed from the final release.
