Folks,
Question regarding Check Point's MEP implementation...
1. Will current active connections stay active after a Module switch; in case Gateway A goes down and Gateway B takes over?
2. Check Point has configuration instructions for setting up a MEP but they have Gateway B and Gateway A on different networks. Can both Gateways be on the same network?
Check Point specifies that the following is only needed to create a back up gateway through MEP:
1. Install FW-1 on GWA & GWB
2. Ensure proper routing
3. Enable "backup gateway for SR"
4. Enable IP Pool (if you want)
5. Ensure no clear text topology transfer
6. Create objects for GWA & B
7. Configure SR.
What about the actual HA software. Is that not needed or will only enabling "backup gateway for SR" take care of it?
Thank You
Keyvan
