Installation and Upgrade
-
Advanced Upgrade from R80.20.M1 / R80.20.M2 to R80.30 may fail if the target Management Server already has the R80.30 Jumbo Hotfix installed.
We recommend to upgrade to R80.40 - the latest widely recommended version. To upgrade to R80.30, install R80.30 Jumbo Hotfix after the advanced upgrade is completed.
R80.20
PMTR-17316
To upgrade a R77.30 or R80.10 Security Gateway with ICAP Client hotfix to a R80.20 Security Gateway:
On the R77.30/R80.10 Security Gateway, back up the current ICAP Client configuration file ($FWDIR/conf/icap_client_blade_configuration.C).
Upgrade the R77.30/R80.10 Security Gateway to R80.20, or perform a Clean Install of the R80.20 Security Gateway.
You can use the backed up ICAP Client configuration file from the R77.30 Security Gateway as a reference only.
You must explicitly confirm the disclaimer (run the script IcapDisclaimer.sh in the Expert mode).
To inspect the HTTPS traffic with the ICAP Client, enable the HTTPS Inspection and configure the HTTPS Inspection rules.
Install the Access Control policy on the R80.20 Security Gateway.
Note: If one of the ICAP configuration parameters is not configured correctly, SmartConsole shows an error with the name of the applicable parameter.
R80.20
PMTR-13035
When you perform a clean install of an R80.20 on top of an existing previous version, the following error might appear after the keyboard layout selection screen:
Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?
In such case, select "Yes" several times to continue with the installation.
R80.20
Gaia
GAIA-3205
Interface that uses the tg3 driver is not able to set the speed to 1000 Mbit/sec in the following scenario:
The interface is connected to a 1000 Mbit/sec switch port
Disable auto-negotiation of the speed on the interface
Manually configure the speed on the interface to 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec
The speed on the interface is set at 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec
Enable the auto-negotiation again
The speed on the interface stays at the previous value of 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec
R80.20
PMTR-21441, PMTR-22269
On oVirt virtual platforms, it is not supported to use the "kvm-clock" as the clock source (/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource). This can cause the management processes to stuck in an endless loop with a very high CPU usage (almost 100%).

Once the Log server is down for a long period of time, the gateways do not try to reconnect to it and logs are being saved locally. Refer to sk116233.
R77.30
02470061
When using the 'Drop' action in a layer for SMTP, HTTP, and FTP protocols with the Application Control and URL Filtering or Content Awareness blades enabled on the layer: if the Security Gateway matches a connection not on the first packet (for example, on a rule with an application) the gateway rejects the packet instead of silently dropping it. The gateway sends a TCP reset for HTTP/FTP or sends a '554 error message' for SMTP. The client already received some packets from the server before the rejection.
R77.30
01593807, 02728705, 01683689, PRHF-66

01820710, 01919422
After upgrade, services defined in the Application Control rulebase are overridden with the Application's recommended services. Refer to sk109711.
R80
Content Awareness
PMTR-17156
The following apply to the "Archive File" Data Type: The Content Awareness blade inspects the "Archive File" Data Type. The "Archive File" Data Type is extracted, and its inner files are separately inspected together with the Data Type. Therefore, during the policy configuration, administrator has to pay attention when using the "Archive File" Data Type in a Compound/Group Data Type and in an Inline layer parent rule.
Using a Compound/Group of "Archive File" with, for example, "PCI - Credit Card Numbers", does not match the archive that contains a file with the credit card numbers. You can use a specific File Type with "PCI - Credit Card Numbers" in this rule.
Using the "Archive File" in a rule that leads to Inline Layer does not match the Data Type inside that layer. You can use a specific File Type in this rule.
If the "Archive File" is located above other Data Types, the lower rule can be matched for some of the inner files, in addition to the rule that contains the "Archive File".
R80.20
02436860
Content Awareness supports HTML forms using URL encoding (also known as Percent-encoding). HTML traffic, encoded (binary to text encoding) as Base64 and NCR, is not properly inspected for content.
R80.10
02455334
Content Awareness can inspect different types of files, of any size. A Web browser or FTP client may use several connections to upload or downloaded a file. For web browser this typically happens when downloading large PDF files from the Internet. In those cases, the Security Gateway inspects each connection separately. This may affect its ability to inspect text inside the file.
R80.10
01917734
Binary Certificate *.cer files are not properly matched to the 'Certificates and Private Keys' Data Type.
R80.10
02467456, 02338194, 02330606
Content Awareness supports HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP and FTP protocols on any ports and it is fully integrated with the Access Control unified rule base. Traffic over QUIC and WebSocket is not inspected. However, it is possible to use 'Quic protocol' / 'WebSocket protocol' in a new Application rule to either block or allow this traffic. Google Drive has its own internal methods within its protocol, therefore file downloads and uploads, from and to Google Drive are not properly scanned by Content Awareness. However, it is possible to use Google Drive in a new Application rule to either block or allow this traffic.
R80.10
01998174
Content Awareness supports more than 60 character sets for text files, including Japanese, Korean, Greek, and Arabic. If the inspected traffic does not include a supported character set, Content Awareness uses UTF-8 for decoding. To see the list of supported charsets, and to learn how to change the default charset, see sk116155.
R80.10
02452100
Content Awareness supports Data Types based on file name. In specific HTTP traffic where the file name is not part of the URL or content-disposition header, the file name may be incorrect.
R80.10

R80.20
ICAP Server
PMTR-16958
The ICAP Server feature is not supported in VSX mode deployment.
R80.20
Routing
PMTR-13658
In PIM Dense Mode, when a new PIM router joins the existing network, it may take up to two cycles of PIM prune timer and/or downstream IGMP report interval, for the intended multicast traffic to start flowing.
To improve the PIM-DM responsiveness, user can enforce the local-groups / static-groups configuration.
R80.20
PMTR-19481
PIM is not supported on a Security Gateway / Cluster, when Route Based VPN is configured.
R80.20
PMTR-4925
When advertising IPv4 routes over an IPv6 BGP session, one of the following needs to be true:
Routemap is used to set the nexthop of the IPv4 routes
The interface used for the BGP session needs to have an IPv4 address
When advertising IPv6 routes over an IPv4 BGP session, one of the following needs to be true:
Routemap is used to set the nexthop of the IPv6 routes
The interface used for the BGP session needs to have an IPv6 address
R80.20
01338366, 02014813
On a Security Gateway that is configured with DHCP relay and automatic Hide NAT for the network(s) that the DHCP requests come from, DHCP offers are dropped at the gateway. This message shows: fw_log_drop_ex: Packet proto=17 40.81.81.3:67 -> 44.81.81.6:67 dropped by fw_conn_inspect Reason: post lookup verification failed;
Workaround: before the Hide NAT rule, add a NAT rule that prevents the translation when traffic is on port 67, and is going to the DHCP server. Make the NAT similar to this:
Original Packet: Source = Source network(s) for DHCP requests Destination = DHCP server Service = UDP_bootp
Translated Packet: Source = Original Destination= Original Service = Original
R80.10
01474954
Fast failback with OSPF GR is not supported. A restart or failover during GR results in traffic outage.
To prevent: wait for OSPF GR to finish. Use "show ospf interfaces" or "show ospf summary" commands to see the status.
R80.10
01685327
BGP routes cannot be used to establish connections to Multi-hop peers.
R80.10
02048037

Do not delete an interface before deleting the associated cluster VIP from the SmartDashboard.
R80.10
01849054
IPv6 ECMP is not supported.
Workaround: disable ECMP for BGP when using IPv6.
R80.10
01490849
In VRRP mode, the OSPF state is not synchronized and a new master cannot take the helper responsibility from the previous master.
To prevent: do not fail over members if an OSPF neighbor is in the process of restart.
R80.10
01499120
A change in topology can cause an unsuccessful exit of OSPF GR.
To prevent: make sure there are no route or topology changes during the process.
R80.10
01910711, 01921543
In VSX, BGP Multihop does not work correctly when configured on a Virtual Router. Do not configure it.
R80.10
01920724
RouteD with BGP Multi-hop consumes 100% CPU. If RouteD gets a route to the BGP peer from the peer itself and that route has a lower rank than the route used to establish the BGP connection then this route becomes active and routed starts using it to connect to the peer. This causes the BGP peer route to be deleted and return back to the original route since in BGP Multi-hop routed cannot use BGP routes to connect to peers. This scenario repeats endlessly and causes the high CPU utilization.
To prevent: make sure that self-routes do not become active in a BGP Multi-hop deployment.
R80.10
Mobile Access
PMTR-70, 02475436
If you use Outlook Anywhere application with Mobile Access Reverse Proxy, and then want to disable Outlook Anywhere or Reverse Proxy, perform:
Delete Outlook Anywhere rule from reverse proxy.
Run "cvpnrestart --with-pinger" to close all Outlook Anywhere open connections. If you do not perform step 2, open connections of Outlook Anywhere will not be closed and users can still work with it.
R80.10
02361011
When using Mobile Access file shares with VSX, the DNS resolving of the hostname might not work correctly with file shares.
Make sure that the /etc/resolve.conf file is configured properly or use this workaround: Change the value of 'vsxMountWithIPAddress' property in $CVPNDIR/conf/cvpnd.C file from 'false' to 'true'. The file share will use the host IP address for the mount instead of the hostname.
R80.10
02421046
After upgrading a Standalone (Management and Gateway) or VSX deployment with Mobile Access blade enabled, the "Allow Dynamic ID for mobile devices" option might be enabled by default, even if Dynamic ID was not configured prior to the upgrade.

Upgrading Multi-Domain Servers in High Availability to R80.20 may fail with synchronization errors when a Domain exists on primary Multi-Domain Server but does not exist on secondary Multi-Domain Server, or when a Domain exists only in Secondary Multi-Domain Server (no High Availability in Domain level).
High Availability synchronization fails on Multi-Domain Server level after Domain deletion or after updating licenses or contracts in SmartUpdate.
Resolved in R80.20 Jumbo HotFix Take 47 and R80.20 GA Take 117. Either run an Advanced upgrade with the latest Jumbo HFA or run the CPUSE Upgrade with the R80.20 GA Take 117 to avoid the upgrade failure.
In the same MDM scenario, similar issues may occur post-upgrade when launching SmartUpdate in R80.20 without the resolution in Jumbo HotFix Take 47.

In R80.x, indexing is done by a new process called Indexer. Indexer works similar to SmartLog R77.xx but has its own configuration files stored in $INDEXERDIR. Customers who defined manually indexing configuration from remote log servers (via LEA) in SmartLog R77.x or below, should manually move them to the new configuration files.
To copy settings from SmartLog R77.x configuration files to the new Indexer process configuration files: For SmartLog servers only: After upgrading to R80.x, copy the remote log servers configured in $SMARTLOGDIR/smartlog_settings.txt file to $INDEXERDIR/log_indexer_custom_settings.conf.
For SmartEvent with SmartLog server: Remote log servers configured in $SMARTLOGDIR/smartlog_settings.txt are not automatically upgraded. Manually configure the log servers in SmartEvent GUI -> correlation unit policy.

The "Dev Mode: ON - Syntax error: Unable to get property 'icon' of undefined or null reference at line: undefined" error can appear in the Compliance blade reports.
"Compliance Statuses" contains the words "Low" instead of "Poor" and "High" instead of "Good".
In a Multi-Domain Management environment, in the local domain policy, some Compliance best practices, which validate the status of rules in the policy, incorrectly identify the section header, "Parent section for domain rules," as a rule, and report it as not valid.
Workaround: manually exclude this result from the Best Practices view. In the Best Practices view, select the practice. In the bottom pane -> Relevant Object section -> double-click the desired rulebase object and disable the rule/section from the list.

Compliance Blade does not contain Compliance Overview Report.
To have the Compliance Overview Report, deploy a SmartEvent server and enable SmartEvent. Then find it at Logs & Monitoring -> new tab -> Reports -> Compliance Blade.

The SmartConsole client is not aware of license or quota changes in real time - Alert for 'License quota Exceeded' does not pop-up immediately when the license quota is exceeded.
Reopen SmartConsole in Compliance blade to see the license changes. Quota data changes in the entitlement or Compliance will be updated after:
Compliance midnight scan

Compliance Blade regulation reports do not contain the Best Practices themselves.
To see the Best Practices, deploy a SmartEvent Server, enable SmartEvent and create a customized report.
