Re: Requirement for "fw unload local" command Hi, fw unloadlocal is usually used on firewalls when you by accident ad a rule to the policy which blocks the traffic to the firewall. Or after a clean install the default policy will block almost traffic to and through the newly installed firewall. This command unloads the local fw policy and also stops the routing deamon. So then you are only able to communicate to the firewall and not able to send packets through it. But in you case It looks like that your management station also has a firewall policy. Check the checkpoint object of your management station and see if the fw1 option is highlighted. When you do not use your management station as a firewall you could deactivated the firewall on the management station. When it also is in use as a firewall make sure the appropriate rules for management are in place. Eduard |
