 Re: Please Help
I think you're going to have to spend some time reading some documentation - start with the PDFs on the CD.
The basics are that Check Point has three components - the enforcement module (that actually does the firewalling), the managment server (where policies are stored/compiled, and logs are sent to), and the GUI clients - your PC, where you configure policy.
You can combine those components, having management and enforcement on one server.
I would recommend having separate management and enforcement modules though - it will make life easier in the long run. Use SecurePlatform on both the module and the management. Install that from the CD on each server, configure one as a management server, the other as an enforcement module. Connect with SmartDashboard to the management server, define the enforcement module, establish SIC. Configure a policy and install it.
Tweak policy to add rules as required. Rinse, repeat.
If you've got money/equipment, I would have a clustered pair for my enforcement modules, so that service doesn't get interrupted if one fails. It also makes life easier if you're doing maintenance.
Post some specifics about what you're trying to do, what hardware you've got, etc, and we can try and help - but you're going to have to read some docs. If you have no idea about Check Point (or firewalls in general) then something like Phoneboy's book "Essential Check Point Firewall-1 NG" is very good reading.  |
