NGFWv support on VMware 6.7?

saraphillips — Thu, 15 Aug 2019 16:33:54 GMT

I am not able to find any documentation that says 6.7 it's either supported or not supported. I can only assume 6.5 is the latest version for NGFWv but I need to confirm this.

6.7 was released by VMware last year I wonder if there is even something on the roadmap for NGFWv.

thank you!

Good question, 6.7 recently released i was thinking to upgrade later month for the NGFWv to test.

as per document it should be supported as i have not see any report not working. but hardware resource changed from 6.5 onwards

Hi,

The Firepower 6.5 release is scheduled to be generally available at the end of September. In that release, we will officially support ESXi version 6.7.
