The number of VLANs on XTM 3, 5 and 8 Series platforms has been increased. New diagnostic capabilities help users to troubleshoot VPN interoperability and connectivity issues.

New tools to help simplify the understanding and maintenance of policies as defined on the firewall, including On-line Policy Checker, which helps to quickly simulate and understand how traffic is handled through the firewall. Users can enter IP address and port combinations to determine which firewall rule is triggered and whether traffic will be allowed.
