Oops! sorry.

I meant
Which platform could be managed by R60, R60A, R60B, or R61?
Such as Could R60 manage VPN-1 NGX, GX ver 2.5, and VSX? what's the different platform could they manage?

Thx.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

But on your table, would you please explain more details?
For example, R60 table ;
Version - Upgrade - Backward compatibility
NG - Supported - Not supported

If i use R60 for FW management to manage NG version, does it mean that i could upgrade NG to other version by using R60 manager? And what's the meaning for backward compatibility on this version?

Sorry to ask you a lot of questions.

Example:
R61
Version - Upgrade - Backward compatibility
NG - Supported - Not supported

You can upgrade Emforcement module or SmartCenter from NG to NGX R61. But you cannot manage enforcement module version NG.
For NG FP3, for example, you can upgarde and manage.

I think so.
