Notes:
This blade / feature is not supported on X-Series XOS.
Refer to sk106496 - Software Blades updates - FAQ .
Mobile Access Blade is supported partially. Refer to:
X-Series XOS uses its own routing suite (Gaia OS uses the RouteD daemon).
DHCP Server is supported only for the VSX Gateway itself - in the context of VS0.
Gaia Portal is supported only to run the Gaia 'First Time Configuration Wizard'.
IPv6 is supported with the following limitations:
Pure IPv6 is not supported (must have IPv4 addresses assigned) - applies only to Cluster.
IPv6 is not supported on Virtual Router.
VRRP cluster in VSX mode is supported only on X-Series XOS.
For information about 60000 / 40000 Security Systems, refer to the corresponding Release Notes (41000 , 44000 , 61000 , 64000 ) - chapter "System Requirements" - section "Gateway Requirements" - subsection "Supported Software Blades".
Refer to sk106496 - Software Blades updates - FAQ and to R77 versions VSX Administration Guide .
Refer to the VSX Administration Guides R80.40 and lower.
Refer to sk32027 - NTP Server support on Gaia and SecurePlatform OS .
Refer to sk97494 - Gaia "Cloning Groups" are not supported on Security Gateway in VSX mode .
Refer to sk100500 - Policy-Based Routing (PBR) on Gaia OS .
Refer to sk110351 - Traffic latency on VSX Gateway if MTU larger than 4096 (Jumbo Frames) is configured on an interface .
Because "Compliance" blade is a Management blade, it cannot be activated in a VSX Gateway / VSX Cluster object. "Compliance" blade supports VSX Gateways / VSX Clusters running R77.20 and higher. By design, the "Security Best Practices" for "Gaia OS" are not checked on VSX Gateways / VSX Clusters. Refer to sk92861 - ATRG: Compliance Blade .
This blade is supported only by R76SP.40 and higher. Follow the instructions in sk111405 - 60000 / 40000 Appliances - How to enable Threat Emulation blade on R76SP.40 and R76SP.50 .
