I am missing routing. Static and Policy is just some basic stuff.

Where are advanced routing protocols? BGP - really important since Internet standard!?

Not even RIP? OSPF?

In the old Flex 700, I had eg. BGP routing - although sadly only through the shell, but at least it was there AND working - in my case in conjunction with VTI VPN and multiple peers.
Which is needed to determine the best route in case of peer failure.

Is this not implemented yet? Is there a time frame?

I cannot find a roadmap for feature implementation, if it exists please point me in the right directions.

    Hi @AMI ,

    The RIP and OSPF features for H series devices are scheduled for release in 2026, while BGP implementation has not yet been added to our roadmap.

    For updates on new features and enhancements, please stay tuned to our firewall News & Releases announcements.

    BGP goes hand in hand with routed VPN, so it is important.

    What I cannot understand, how something as important as routing is scheduled almost 2 years from release?

    From my perspective, the H series should not have been released if it is still in a state where 50% of the features in the non H series are missing. Or at least with a warning. Like in bold red, NO WLAN, NO ROUTING, NO FAILOVER and so on.

    It all sounded good on paper, but honestly, your are killing it right now.
