Introduction
We are excited to announce the availability of the new Spark Firewall 2500 series! These appliances (2530 / 2550 / 2560 / 2570 / 2580 / 2590) represent a significant upgrade over the 1500 PRO series (15x5), featuring advanced capabilities such as WiFi 7, 5G cellular on entry model (roadmap), 10GbE ports, dual power supply, and greatly improved performance.
R82 alignment - Now 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.
- 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.
- Backup and restore restrictions for models running R82.00 - See sk184499.
