What’s New

This hotfix is a replacement for Airwall Gateway HF-2 that fixes a bug in the HA failover logic causing invalid HA state information to be displayed in the Conductor when the failover was triggered by network availability. The hotfix also fixes an issue that could cause excessive device activity event reporting on bypass ports with large device network objects as well as a problem when using device NAT with bridged overlay port groups.

Upgrade Considerations

Upgrade to this 2.2.8 hotfix if you were experiencing any of the following issues:
  • Conductor displaying an Invalid HA state for Airwall Gateways
  • Excessive disk utilization on the Conductor and/or high network traffic between Airwall Gateways configured with a bypass port group and the Conductor
  • Ping devices failures
  • Airwall Gateways needing to reconnect to the Conductor
  • Airwall Gateways failing a policy check on some overlay networks.

Or if you were impacted by any of the other issues fixed in this or earlier hotfixes.
