Which features are only supported with R80.10 Gateways but not R77.x?

The feature related to the rule base being composed of layers containing a set of security rules is a distinguishing capability introduced in the R80.10 architecture. This innovative approach allows for greater flexibility and modularity in defining security policies, enabling administrators to create more refined and focused rule sets. Layers allow different aspects of security to be addressed in more granular segments, which can simplify management and enhance clarity in policy application.

In contrast, earlier versions such as R77.x operated with a flat security rule base, where all rules needed to be organized in a single linear sequence. This limitation made it more challenging to manage complex policy environments, especially as configurations grew in size and complexity. The introduction of layered security rules in R80.10 provided a modernized solution that significantly improves the user experience, effectiveness in policy enforcement, and overall security management.

The other features listed, while useful, either existed in prior versions or do not represent the level of architectural change that the introduction of layered rule bases brings to security management in R80.10.
