Sending Syslog flow to an External Log Server

Dear Checkpoint Fellows and Followers,

Syslog data is possible to be sent as shown in sk33423, however only from physical boxes.

If you have VSX infrastructure, it is not possible to send syslogs of each vsx customer to another syslog server. All and all..

Sincerely.

Checkpoint R77

Very excited to test the new blades! :)

Check Point R75.47 Released!

The release notes and the resolved issues, it’s mainly a maintenance or bug fix version.

There are a lot of fixed bugs.

It would be good to install the version firstly within the test environment, and then get it into production a.s.a.p.

License Info Tool / Checkpoint

License Tool for Checkpoint. I found it pretty useful actually as the license issues seem complicated most often. My Products > License Info Tool.

Fortinet Upgrade Procedures

The upgrade processes have usually been a issue with Check Point. However, it is unbelievably easy for security vendor Fortinet (even in the cluster env.)

- .out file is downloaded from the support site.
- it is uploaded through GUI.

then, all process goes on automatically; firstly the active member is upgraded with losing 4 - 6 ping packets, and then 2-3 ping lost while  upgrading the second member.

I suppose the reason is truly the architecture difference behind these boxes.

New Titles are Upcoming

- Arbor
- McAfee
- Fortinet

Network Troubleshooting - Cisco Packet Flow

To be or not to be.
Incoming or Outgoing Packets, sometimes understanding these two subjects are very vital in troubleshooting process.
