Compatibility

SMC 7.1 can manage all compatible Forcepoint NGFW Engine versions up to and including version 7.1.

Important: Some versions of Forcepoint NGFW have reached end-of-life status and no longer receive maintenance releases that contain security updates. Even though these Forcepoint NGFW versions might be compatible with the SMC, we recommend that you use a Long-Term Support version that is still supported. For more information about the Forcepoint NGFW lifecycle policy, see https://⁠support.forcepoint.com/⁠ProductSupportLifeCycle.

SMC 7.1 is compatible with the following component versions.

  • Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) 6.3 or higher
  • McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (McAfee ESM) 11.1.x or higher
