Compatibility

SMC 7.0 can manage all compatible Forcepoint NGFW Engine versions up to and including version 7.0.

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 7.0 is compatible with Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) 6.5 or higher.

Note: SA-per-host switch in the IPsec VPN configuration is deprecated and will not be available from the GUI for new configurations by default in 6.11 and later versions of SMC. This option is not needed for standard VPN use cases, but can be re-enabled via a parameter in the SGConfiguration.txt if required for troubleshooting or testing purposes.
