Previously, we could familiarize ourselves with <noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/community.checkpoint.com\/t5\/Product-Announcements\/R81-EA-Program-Production\/ba-p\/86945\">the planned innovations<\/a><\/noindex> in the release notes. Now we have the opportunity to see this in real life. For this, a standard setup with a dedicated management server and gateway has been assembled. Naturally, we couldn't conduct all the full tests, but we are ready to share what immediately stands out when getting acquainted with the new system. Below are the main points that we noted during our first interactions with the system (many pictures).<br \/>\n<noindex><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"habracut\"><\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n<h3>Management<\/h3>\n<p>\nUpon initializing the gateway, you have the option to connect directly to the cloud management server \u2014 <b>Smart 1 Cloud<\/b> (also known as MaaS):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Check Point Gaia R81 is now in EA.

The Release Notes did not deceive us, everything is in place:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Check Point Gaia R81 is now in EA.

A new activation option for the Threat Prevention blades has been added \u2014 Infinity. That is, you don\u2019t have to choose which blades to enable, Check Point has decided everything for us (not sure how good that is):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Check Point Gaia R81 is now in EA.

This is probably one of the most significant changes:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Check Point Gaia R81 is now in EA.

R81 introduced an interesting feature\u2014management through the browser. This is activated in quite an interesting way. You need to enter CLI in expert mode <b>expert<\/b> and enter the command <b>\u201cweb_mgmt_start\u201d<\/b>, and then navigate to the address \u2014 https:\/\/:4434\/sba\/.

The truth is, that console was only available in the cloud, but now it also works on local management servers.<\/p>\n<h3>Smart Update<\/h3>\n<p>\nWhen trying to add licenses via the old reliable Smart Update, the console will kindly inform you that this can now be done without leaving the familiar Smart Console:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Check Point Gaia R81 is now in EA.

Now in NAT rules, you can use <b>Access Roles<\/b>, <b>Security Zones<\/b> or <b>Updatable Objects<\/b>. There are cases when this is very useful and necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>\nThat's all for now.
