Enhancements

ID Description
SMB-15464 Added a new Advanced Setting to enable the user to bypass PSL inspection for VPN traffic.
- Support for SmartProvisioning scripts on Quantum Spark Appliances (EA level). Running the SmartProvisioning configuration scripts continues when errors are encountered (does not terminate the configuration script).
See the configuration sk174425.
- Support for Block page on bridged VLAN. The new advanced parameter allows to redirect users to a blocking page on a tagged VLAN over a bridge.
See the configuration sk123035.
SMB-15429 Starting in R80.20.30, in setups where all traffic is routed via a VPN peer, it is possible to exclude the connections that originated from the Security Gateway, so they are routed without VPN.
The new global kernel parameter which controls this functionality is "accept_outgoing_without_vpn". By default, its value is 0.
To exclude these connections, set the value of this parameter to 1.
For instructions, see sk26202.
SMB-15153 Added a 'blocklist' mode to MAC filtering (supported on all 1500 series appliances, LAN ports only) to block access for listed MAC addresses.
This is configured only through CLI commands, not in the WebUI.
SMB-15012 Support for sending a backup file to an SFTP server, in addition to a TFTP  server and a USB device.
