Hi is this statement true:

You can attach any Gateway, no matter its currnet config, to a SmartCenter - provided that:
-you have full connectivity
- you perform a sic reset.

I played around and found that the time must match on the SC and the FW, for the sic to initialize. I think even the time zone must match. After the SIC is initialized, time doesnt really matter anymore.

Question 2.
What is in the so called InitialPolicy - that is , what traffic the FW allows from/to it. I guess it doesn't allow any traffic pass.

Question 3. What happens if the CP services are down. Is any traffic allowed throug the FW ? Can it talk to the SC ?
