| Introduction {#Introduction} ---------------------------- |||
| Spark Firewall R82.00.11 brings powerful new capabilities designed to enhance security, simplify network operations, and improve visibility. From encrypted traffic inspection and enhanced threat intelligence feeds to IPv6 routing support, streamlined cluster management, and advanced observability with OpenTelemetry. **R82 alignment - 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). * **Upgrade to R82.00.11 from R81.10.X is only supported from R81.10.17.** * **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.** |||

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.
