General
01424218,
01422806		 Reinstalling R77.20 Add-on through CPUSE (Gaia Software Updates) by clicking 'Reinstall' after it was previously successfully installed, can cause failure of the Deployment Agent's self-test.

Workaround: Reboot the system after reinstalling the Add-on.		 -
01418009 Upgrade of the Endpoint Security Management Server to R77.20 with CPUSE sometimes fails. -
01425142 When you run cpstop on SecurePlatform OS, this error message can show incorrectly: "Updating of persistent storage failed: Invalid argument". You can safely ignore this error. -
Installation and Upgrade
01422537 If you uninstall the R77.20 Add-on, you must open a new shell and run "cpstop;cpstart" commands.
Refer to sk103407.		 R77.30
01419551 Before uninstalling the R77.20 Add-on from a Multi-Domain environment, you must de-activate it from all Domains. -
01424166 If Push Notifications were enabled on VS0 before an upgrade to R77.20, refer to sk101310 for instructions for enabling them on new Virtual Systems created after the upgrade. -

SSL Network Extender
01386596, 01353737

SSL Network Extender in Application Mode does not support applications that use IPV6 or IPV4-mapped IPV6 addresses. The default action for such connections is to go directly to the destination and not through the SSL tunnel even if its destination is in the encryption domain. To enhance security, you can change the default behavior of such connections to drop.

To do this, change the DWORD 32 registry key decimal value to:
11, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Checkpoint\SSL Network Extender\parameters\DropIpv6

To query a VSX Gateway / VSX cluster member over SNMPv2 / SNMPv3, the query should be sent to the VSX machine itself (context of VS0):

  • In DMI configuration:
    • In case of a single VSX Gateway, the SNMP query should be sent to the IP address of the DMI interface.
    • In case of a VSX cluster, the SNMP query should be sent to the physical IP address (of the DMI interface) of each cluster member.
  • In non-DMI configuration:
    • The SNMP query should be sent to the physical IP address of the external interface on the VSX machine.
Refer to sk90860.		 -
01425422, 01436496

After a VSX cluster member is upgraded to R77.20 and rebooted, its cluster state changes to 'Ready' before all the Virtual Systems are up. This may lead to a failure during the failover.

Workaround: Make sure each Virtual System has restarted, before you continue with the rest of the VSX cluster upgrade and failover.
On each Virtual System run:

  1. cphaprob state
    Make sure the Virtual System is in Ready state.
  2. ps auxw | grep fwk
    Make sure that the fwk process started on the Virtual System.

01378000, 01436483, 01450417 If the Security Management Server also works as a DHCP server, then on VSX cluster DHCP does not work for Virtual Systems other than VS0. This is because traffic to Security Management Server is not hidden behind the Cluster VIP.

Workaround: Add the DHCP ports (67 and 68) to management_specific_ports_hide table.
