|---|---|---| | Introduction {#Introduction} ---------------------------- ||| | We are excited to announce the availability of the new Spark Firewall 2500 series! These appliances (2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 / 2580 / 2590) represent a significant upgrade over the 1500 PRO series (15x5), featuring advanced capabilities such as WiFi 7, 5G cellular on entry model (roadmap), 10GbE ports, dual power supply, and greatly improved performance. **R82 alignment - Now includes full support for all Pro appliance 15x5 models, in addition to 1600, 1800, 1900, and 2000.** * **Upgrade restrictions** : Only Pro models (1535 / 1555 / 1555 / 1575 / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000) can upgrade to R82.00. Other models (for example, 1530 / 1550 / 1570 / 1590) are blocked from this upgrade by default. For more information, see [sk184492](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk184492). * **Upgrading Pro device clusters** **to R82** requires a maintenance window to reconfigure the cluster as core affinity change will cause downtime and loss of High Availability (cluster failover). For more information, see [sk184478](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk184478). * **Backup and restore restrictions** for models running R82.00 - See [sk184499](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk184499). **Click [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMAKXIJBvfAjPa7C36ANIsAv59kmtKFyL) to see the general playlist of feature videos.

Available on 2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 models. > * **BGP grouping** - Multiple BGP peers with identical routing policies into a single peer group to simplify configuration and improve efficiency. > * **Cluster L2** - Locally Managed Spark appliances configured with bridge can be deployed as a cluster. > * **DHCP cluster enhancement** - One DHCP server is active at a time and shares the lease information. > * Allow **cloned MAC** on LAN-Bond. > * **SD-WAN Enhancements** > * **CGNAT Cluster** - Support for SD-WAN VPN peers behind CGNAT without DAIP configuration (must use Smart-1 Cloud if the Management Server must connect to the SD-WAN Gateway through a CGNAT interface) > * **Route Based Overlay with ECMP** - Support SD-WAN Overlay to operation on top of Route-based VPN. In ECMP mode, SD-WAN selects both the best peer, and the best path to reach the peer. > * **IPv6 Enhancements** > * IPv6 Flexiport support > * IPv6 static route probing > * Multiple IPv6 Internet connections > * IPv6 GRE (6 in 4, 6 in 6, and 4 in 6) *** ** * ** ***

|---|---|---| | ### Upgrade Procedure **Appliances: 2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 / 2580 / 2590** 1. 1. Upgrade the Gateway to the latest available image. 2. Create and save a backup. 3. After verifying that the Gateway is operating correctly, set the default image from the current image. Important: * * Reverting to factory default before running the command "`update default-image from current image`" is not supported and results in Maintenance Mode. * If the system enters Maintenance Mode, [Contact Support](https://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/). **Appliances: 1535 / 1555 / 1575 / 1595 / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000** 1. 1. Upgrade the Gateway to the latest available image. 2. Create and save a backup. **Limitations** * If the default firmware version is R82.00.xx (earlier than build xxx2110), do not revert to the factory default. Doing so results in Maintenance Mode. * If Maintenance Mode is reached, [Contact Support](https://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/) or perform a clean installation of the new firmware using a USB. **Notes**: * On models 2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 / 2580 / 2590, the default image is R82.00.xx. * On models 1535 / 1555 / 1575 / 1595 / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000, the default image is R81.10.xx. In rare scenarios where a 1535 / 1555 / 1575 / 1595 / 1575R / 1595R / 1600 / 1800 / 1900 / 2000 appliance has its default image set to R82.00.xx, running the command "`revert to factory default`" results in Maintenance Mode. Show / Hide Deployment Instructions **Deployment Instructions:** * For **Local Installation** , see the [Spark Firewall R82.00.X Locally Managed Administration Guide (English)](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Appliances/Quantum_Spark_R82.00.X/AdminGuides_Locally_Managed/EN/Default.htm) \> Chapter "Managing the Device" \> Section "Backup, Restore, Upgrade, and Other System Operations". * For **Centrally Managed Appliances** , you must install the CRL Hotfix on the Management Server before upgrade. See [sk184766](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk184766). * For **Central Deployment in SmartConsole** , see the *[Security Management Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R82/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R82_SecurityManagement_AdminGuide/Default.htm)* (R82) \> Chapter "Managing Gateways" \> Section "Central Deployment of Hotfixes and Version Upgrades". * For **Central Deployment in SmartUpdate** : In SmartConsole, in the top left corner, click the **Menu** button \> **Manage licenses \& packages** . In SmartUpdate, in the top left corner, click **Launch Menu** button \> **View menu** \> **Menu Bar** . Follow the R77 Installation and Upgrade Guide \> Chapter "Upgrading with SmartUpdate" (to see how to manage firmware packages). For the 2500 appliance series, LSM, Central Deployment and Smart-1 Cloud are supported. SmartUpdate for non-LSM appliances is not supported.
