Configuring SecurePlatform and Crossbeam OS Monitoring

This is a Legacy Feature. It is available only if it was already in use in an old deployment that has since been upgraded to this release.

Configure Firewall OS Monitoring for a SecurePlatform or Crossbeam Gateway

  1. Make sure SecureTrack has received at least one policy revision from the relevant Check Point management server (SmartCenter or CMA).

  2. On each gateway to be monitored, log in in Expert mode, and do the following:

    1. Configure SNMP as explained in Check Point SecureKnowledge article sk34511.

    2. Run the following commands:

      snmp service disable
      snmp user add authuser <username> pass <passphrase>
      snmp service enable

      The passphrase must be at least 8 characters. Record the username and password for subsequent use.

      To simplify importing the gateways to SecureTrack in the following steps, use the same authentication information for as many gateways as possible.

      For assistance in configuring SNMP on Crossbeam, please contact support.

  3. In SecureTrack, go to Monitoring > Manage Devices:

  4. Select the managing SmartCenter or CMA, and click Import Firewall Modules:

    Import gateways

  5. From the device list, select the gateways to be imported, and supply the SNMP username and passphrase that you configured on the gateways.

    All gateways imported at one time must use the same SNMP authentication username and passphrase. Gateways which use different SNMP credentials must be separately imported. It is also possible to later edit the information for each gateway separately.

    Click Next.

  6. For gateways with multiple interfaces, select an interface routable from SecureTrack.
  7. Click Save.

The gateways now appear in the Device Configuration list.

The SNMP polling frequency is 5 minutes. You can change this setting.
