R77.20.75 for SMB Appliances Resolved Issues

The below table lists R77.20.75 resolved issues:

ID Symptoms
General
SMB-3593,
SMB-3589

An increasing number of "Zombie" processes are presented in the output of ps command.
Zombies are created with a parent process ID which is the process ID of the 'sfwd' daemon. Usually there is 1 "Zombie" process every 24 hours.
SMB-4077

POP3 session disconnects and the next attempt to fetch emails fails when:

  • POP3 AV/TE is enabled in locally-managed mode
  • Email was detected as malicious after more than 400Kb of data have passed to the POP3 client
  • Resolved in build 990172286
SMB-4342 

TCP traffic dropped by the gateway is logged under IPS "TCP Segment Limit Enforcement" log.

  • Resolved in build 990172286
SMB-4417

Cluster configuration fails when using VLAN-associated interfaces.

  • Resolved in build 990172286
SMB-3734  Device crashes if SecureXL is enabled and a network cable connected to a 700/1400/1200R gateway, on an interface which was configured with a tag based VLAN, is unplugged while there is traffic on the interface.
WebUI / GUI
SMB-3424,
SMB-3048		 When the Windows AD has more than 1000 groups, not all the groups can be seen on the SMB appliance outgoing rule/attach the appliance to the AD server. When the Windows AD has more than 500 groups, only 500 groups can be seen on the SMB appliance.
Refer to sk121442.
SMB-3632 In the DHCP settings tab (or DHCP/SLAAC settings in IPv6 mode), when adding any custom DHCP option and save, if you try to edit this local network object again, an "Invalid Input - Unknown Field" error message appears. 
SMB-4688

When creating a custom URL, it appears in the list of custom applications but is not saved. 

  • Resolved in build 990172286
Logging and Monitoring
SMB-3594 In locally managed appliances, when logs are forwarded to an R80.x Log Server / SmartLog, the origin column in the SmartLog / R80.x Log Server shows "myown_obj" instead of the gateway name
SMB-5278

Previously, the ability to export security logs to an external syslog server was only available in locally/SMP managed appliances. It is now possible to export security logs to an external syslog server in centrally managed appliances. The external syslog server is configured in the WebUI and CLI. 

  • Added in build 990172286
Anti-Virus
SMB-3909 Video on demand (VOD) service in YES satellite TV fails to play content when Anti-Virus is configured in Hold mode. 
IPS / User Awareness
SMB-3135 With IPS enabled, in some scenarios a kernel panic or freeze occurred.
This fix prevents that from happening. Specifically the "Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF catalog handling" protection, if enabled, would trigger the issue under certain traffic.
SMB-3946

If User Awareness blade is disabled but Browser-Based authentication is enabled, hosts behind the appliance are unable to reach web sites.
    SMP
    SMB-3917,
    SMB-3916    		 The "Test Cloud Services Ports" test tool shows "Unreachable" for some of the ports even when all Cloud services are reachable.
    Cluster
    SMB-4926 In a cluster, when SFWD process is restarted on the active member (e.g. as a result of RSS limit exceeded), it restarts the kernel sync mechanism, causing the member to failover without need.
    VPN
    SMB-3542 The external IP address of the gateway is also part of its local VPN encryption domain by default. This may cause conflicts with IP addresses of peers when the gateway is behind NAT or uses a dynamic Internet Connection IP address.
    • To exclude the external IP of the gateway from the encryption domain, use this Аdvanced setting: "VPN Site to Site global settings - Do not encrypt connections originating from the local gateway".
      For the Permanent VPN Tunnels feature to work properly in this mode, use the Аdvanced setting: "VPN Site to Site global settings - Perform Tunnel Tests using an internal IP address".
    01498635 In a locally managed appliance, you can define a remote VPN site and route all traffic through that site. The option to define a remote VPN site that routes all traffic to the gateway itself is not support. 
    01571378 In centrally managed appliances, when the appliance takes part in site-to-site VPN with route all traffic, access to SSH and WebUI fails. 
    SMB-4604

    VPN Site-to-Site connection cannot be established between a centrally managed SMB gateway and an Azure cloud VPN gateway.

    • Resolved in build 990172286
    SMB-4390,
    SMB-3155 

    On SMB gateways with Dynamic IP, it takes a long time to establish a VPN permanent tunnel (DPD) after reboot. 

    • Resolved in build 990172286
    SMB-4664

    In locally-managed mode, Remote Access users are not able to connect when using a certificate trusted by a CA installed on the gateway. (Degradation from previous versions).

    • Resolved in build 990172286
    SMB-3968

    Added option to turn off the logging of the IKE key exchange in Advanced Settings -> VPN Site-to-Site global settings -> Successful key exchange tracking.

    • Resolved in build 990172286

    R77.20.75 for SMB Appliances Known Limitations

    The below table lists R77.20.75 known limitations:

    ID Symptoms
    WebUI
    SMB-3644 When finish running the First Time Configuration Wizard, the time that is displayed in the System Information page of the WebUI is 2 hours earlier than the actual time.
    SMB-4115 In a centrally managed gateway, when the VPN certificate is pushed from SmartDashboard and used by the SSL Network Extender, the WebUI displays the internal VPN certificate even though it is not in use. 
    DSL
    SMB-3546 In non-DSL appliances, the 'show diag' CLISH command provides information about DSL-related fields, such as DSL MAC address, DSL firmware version and DSL Annex.
    SMB-3545 In a non-DSL appliance, when running the 'add internet-connection interface' CLISH command, the list of suggested interfaces includes DSL even though this interface does not exist.
    SMB-3407

    In 730/750/1430/1450 VDSL appliances, 'ADSL' is included in the options for the CLISH command 'add internet-connection interface' even though this is not supported in these appliances.

    • Use the DSL option to configure either ADSL or VDSL Internet Connection in this models. 
    SMB-3286 In 730/750/1430/1450 appliances, the DSL modes EoA and PPPoA are included in the options for the CLISH command 'set internet connection internet1 type' even though these are not supported. 
    SMB-4134 QoS is not supported for DSL interfaces. In centrally managed appliances, it is possible to configure QoS settings in SmartDashboard, but the settings will not be applied. 
    QoS
    SMB-4149 No logs are generated for QoS rules enforcement.
    VPN
    SMB-5982,
    SMB-5981

    When configuring client to site VPN (Remote Access ) using Endpoint Security VPN toward a 700 Security Gateway installed with R77.20.75, and the interface that accepts the connection is checked as VLAN, passing traffic to the LAN, may cause the appliance to crash.
    Wireless
    SMB-5269

    In R77.20.75 build 990172286, the 5Ghz wireless radio does not work in 770/790/1470/1490 appliances.
