Default Re: Edge ADSL and SmartCenter

Is the Edge device with ADSL listed in the dropdown box where you can choose for the type of Edge device? It should be listed as VPN Edge X ADSL series.
If it is not listed:
run D:\CheckPoint\FW1\R61\fw1\conf\sofaware>sms -confdir .
(note the dot!)
check in the output for:
Problems while getting gw properties from db - Incorrect vendor for gateway NGI - DB vendor = <SBox-200> gateway vendor
= <SBox-200-B>" app:SMS ]

If you see this error:

1) Disconnect SmartDashboard and then run "cpstop" on the management server.

2) Take a backup of the objects_5_0.C file into a different directory.

3) Also run "upgrade_export <filename>" (from $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools) which will take a backup of the whole management server database, should things go badly wrong.

4) Edit the objects_5_0.C file, search for the section:

:sofaware_gw_types (
: (VPN-1_Edge_W_Series

We need to add a section between those 2 lines, which describes the new VPN-1 Edge hardware.

The newly edited version follows (additonal text in bold):

:sofaware_gw_types (
: (VPN-1_Edge_X_ADSL_Series
:AdminInfo (
:chkpf_uid ("{A698EB6F-6860-49B4-9861-C76F7F1C7A1C}")
:ClassName (sofaware_product_type)
:table (sofaware_gw_types)
:LastModified (
:Time ("Sun Aug 13 08:46:04 2006")
:By (CheckPoint)
:From (CheckPoint)
)
:Deleteable (false)
:Renameable (false)
)
:default_package ()
:firmware_type (generic3_safe@)
:hardware_type (SBox-200-B)
:interface_capabilities (
: (
:AdminInfo (
:chkpf_uid ("{4E9DD71F-8EFF-4682-A69C-220DCB46691F}")
:ClassName (edge_robo_interface_capabilities)
)
:can_be_disabled (true)
:name (DMZ)
:supports_dhcp_server (true)
)
: (
:AdminInfo (
:chkpf_uid ("{C9B1DDB5-9B28-471C-8523-E13B44C8A5F3}")
:ClassName (edge_robo_interface_capabilities)
)
:can_be_disabled (false)
:name (LAN)
:supports_dhcp_server (true)
)
)
:show_in_menus (false)
:type (sofaware_product_type_obj)
)
: (VPN-1_Edge_W_Series



5) Save the file
6) Run "cpstart"
7) Log into SmartDashboard
8) Edit the object for the VPN-1 Edge device, change the type to VPN-1_Edge_X_ADSL_Series.
9) Install policy to the VPN-1 Edge device
10) Try to connect the device

If any problems occur after the change, back it out as follows:
1) Disconnect SmartDashboard
2) Run "cpstop"
3) Replace the objects_5_0.C file with the old version
4) Run "cpstart"

The exact cause of the problem is that the new Edge device has upgraded hardware (with ADSL support) and SmartCenter R61 does not recognise it.The fix/workaround requires edit of the file $FWDIR/conf/objects_5_0.C on the management server.


Hope this will solve your problem.
