Introduction {#Introduction}
----------------------------

This article lists all released automatic updates for Smart-1 Cloud MaaS (Management as a Service) tunnel.   

The MaaS (Management as a Service) tunnel is a secure HTTPS connection between a Check Point Security Gateway and the Smart-1 Cloud service. It enables all communication between the Security Gateway and the cloud management platform, ensuring secure and dependable management of the gateway via the cloud.

The MaaS tunnel package is installed automatically on all relevant Check Point devices when Automatic Update downloads are enabled (see [sk175504](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk175504), section 2-B).

If Automatic Updates are disabled, you must first manually install the latest [AutoUpdater](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165653) Take and then install the MaaS tunnel package manually using the steps below.

Manual Installation (Offline) {#Manual Installation}
----------------------------------------------------

Show / Hide this section  
> > **Install a new package manually**
> >
> > 1. Download the applicable TAR package for your Security Gateway / Cluster Members / Scalable Platform Security Group.
> > 2. Transfer the TAR package to the Security Gateway / each Cluster Member / Scalable Platform Security Group.
> > 3. Connect to the command line on the Security Gateway / each Cluster Member / Scalable Platform Security Group.
> > 4. Log in to the Expert mode:  
> >    *expert*
> > 5. On the Scalable Platform Security Group, copy the TAR package to all Security Group Members:  
> >    *asg_cp2blades \<full path to TAR file\>*
> > 6. Install the package:
> >    * On the Security Gateway / each Cluster Member:  
> >      *autoupdatercli install \<full path to TAR file\>*
> >    * On the Scalable Platform Security Group:  
> >      *g_all autoupdatercli install \<full path to TAR file\>*
> >
> > **Check which version is currently installed on the Security Gateway**
> >
> > 1. Connect to the Security Gateway / each Cluster Member / Scalable Platform Security Group.
> > 2. Log in to the Expert mode.
> > 3. Get the information about all installed Release Updates and filter the output only for the Smart-1 Cloud Release Updates (MaaS):
> >    * On the Security Gateway / each Cluster Member:  
> >      *autoupdatercli show \| grep -A 25 'product-name: maas'*
> >    * On the Scalable Platform Security Group:  
> >      *g_all autoupdatercli show \| grep -A 25 'product-name: maas'*
> > 4. In the 'MaaS' section of the output, refer to these lines:
> >    * The line '*package-version*' shows the version number
> >    * The line '*package-installed* ' must show the value '*true*'.
