Notes for Firewalls (Gateways, VE, VSX,):

  • Firewalls must be managed by CMA/SmartCenter. Additional interface and routing information is available when the gateway is monitored directly by SecureTrack.
  • For Access Requests in topology mode, when selecting a firewall that is not in the path for a Check Point device, Designer and Verifier fail and include a notification that the target is not in the path.

  • Automation tools do not use Application Control information.
  • Designer gives priority to service objects that have a default timeout set in the firewall.

Notes for Firewalls (Edge):

  • Edge devices are supported when managed by SmartCenter/Provider-1. Edge devices are not supported when managed by LSM.
  • Designer gives priority to service objects that have a default timeout set in the firewall.
