As the CloudGen Firewall has evolved over the years with its increasing number of features, the Release Notes articles have grown accordingly. This, in turn, has also added greatly to the number of entries in the menu column.
To make the Release Notes articles easier to read, they are now equipped with support elements that provide a better overview of all sections contained while making it easier to navigate between and within these sections.
Each of these sections can be expanded and collapsed separately to show only what you are interested in. Simply click below a header line to expand or collapse a section.
Note that depending on a certain release, the sections can vary both in content and number. In addition, a headline may be appended with certain symbols with the following meaning:
Note that regular information boxes in blue are not explicitly marked in the headline but may still appear in a section. Each section can be expanded individually for informational or printing purposes. | |

| New Features in Version 10.0.0As a major release, version 10.0.0 contains new features: New HardwareNew hardware models F800 Rev. D and F900 Rev. C are now available. New Hardware Options for F1000New services and scripts to mount/unmount an additional SSD to the F1000 have been incorporated. If a new SSD is installed on an F1000, the state of the additional installed SSD is displayed with the label Additional SSD on the DASHBOARD. Rocky LinuxThe underlying operating system is now Rocky Linux. As of firmware release 10.0, Rocky Linux comes with Podman version 5.2.2 and provides out-of-the-box container support. Edge ComputingEdge Computing is a new approach to increase edge security on the CloudGen Firewall by eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. For this, Edge Computing on the CGF allows you to run applications directly on the firewall while keeping communication latencies at a minimum and maintaining the overall security provided by the firewall. The Barracuda CloudGen Edge Computing feature provides the option of running container technology to a certain extent on the firewall. For this, Edge Computing supports the Open Container Initiative (OCI) standard by allowing organizations to run almost any OCI-compliant application. For more information, see Edge Computing. Box Recovery - New Install (ART)The new Box Recovery tool expands the present feature and is available as part of firmware version 10.0. It can be used on specific appliances starting with a certain serial number and lets you recover the firewall to a specific firmware version that has previously been backed up interactively as a ‘last known working firmware version’. For more information, see Extended Options for the ART Recovery Technology. Barracuda Firewall AdminThe Barracuda Firewall Admin user interface has been significantly improved to bring more clarity and comfort. These improvements include the following:
Barracuda Cloud CGFIt is now possible to configure a provider on the management interface if this is the only interface configured on the CGF. This allows you to configure a TINA transport using the management interface on CGF appliances that have only one interface. This is often the case for CGF deployed in the cloud. Certificate StoreThe Certificate Store has been extended to a Certificate/Key Store. The Certificate and Key Store is available on unmanaged boxes and on the Control Center on the Global, Range, and Cluster level. The REST API for Certificate/Key Store has been massively extended: certificates/keys can be added, updated, deleted, rotated:
Control CenterThe Control Center now provides the option for using repository links for VPN Settings and VPN GTI Settings. FirewallGEO IP restrictions have been added as an additional option in the host firewall ruleset. Multicast RoutingA new multicast daemon is now part of the OSPF-RIP-BGP service, thus showing up with the new service name OSPF-RIP-BGP-Multicast. Multicast routing is provided to work with VPN TINA tunnels and with PIM-sparse mode support. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)LLDP support for passive CGF monitoring has been implemented on the CGF’s feature set. For more information, see How to Configure LLDP. Box Licenses ViewThe Box Licenses view has been improved to be adjustable. ConfTemplates
REST-APIThe REST API has undergone many improvements, including the following:
Telemetry ImprovementsThe telemetry system has been improved:
