Hi - I have CP firewalls &amp;&nbsp;loggers all over the world running CP NG AI ver R55, all managed from a central console on a dedicated server. <br />
<br />
I need to install another FW, preferably running NGX R60. (Eventually upgrading them all by the end of the year) <br />
<br />
My Question: If i upgrade my Central Management server to R60, will it still be able to manage all my R55 boxes? Just want to know if it's backwards compatible. <br />
<br />
Cheers, James.

Checkpoint Backwards compatability

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
