    Hi Jonathan. The compatibility of the new SFOS release to support it in SFM is generally done on the same day. SFOS 16.05 MR-4 is supported on SFM. One can use SFM to manage the XG box with 16.05 MR-4, and also upgrade firmware of SFOS boxes to MR-4. One can apply templates to the SFOS v16.05 MR-4 devices, but cannot create a template from new SFOS v16.05 release.

    That's the issue. Without the ability to import a template, its useless for us. I suppose if a customer has SFM from day 1, it may not be an issue, but for some of us, that isnt the case. To be able to import all existing hosts, groups, policies, etc is critical in order for SFM to be worth the effort, otherwise Im duplicating work for myself, by recreating every single item.

    For example I'd like to have bug NCCC-4737 fixed. This bug is very annoying to any of our customers who have SFM deployed.

    This statement is standing in contrast to your support engineer, which told me in Ticket 7277619 that it's not possible to upgrade a 16.05 Firewall with SFM 16.01 RC1.

    Saying its supported is misleading. Without supporting templates, what is the point of the SFM? I cant import and share settings without templates.
