Topology of our LAB and LAB components For this lab I was using and to create my small topology, but your should be perfectly fine to use vmWare workstation with only logical interfaces from it (the vmnetX interfaces it creates) to simulate the same logic, the focus here is to manipulate the FW rules with dbedit tool, so I am not even going to do FW cluster or install Domain Management Systems (MDS) as a typical Checkpoint production environment should have. The firewall automation itself is out of scope of this article, but you should get the idea what needs to be done to achieve it after learning the basics of dbedit. And since Checkpoint FWs do not support any real API for managing policies with it, it came down to CLI tools like dbedit, which we will explore here a little for the purpose of learning the practicalities of managing firewall policies with this tool. However recently there came a push to try to automate a certain aspects of configuring these firewalls because several customer wanted to achieve shorter lead-times at least on few aspects of firewall configurations. Background We are using Checkpoint firewalls in our customer networks at work and are heavily using SmartDashboard and other GUI based tools to manage these firewalls in a large datacenter environments (rulebase of 10k+ firewall rules!) because that is simply our internal standard. Gaia simplifies management with segregation of duties by enabling role-based administrative access.Ĭontents.
As a 64-Bit OS, Gaia increases the connection capacity of existing appliances supporting up-to 10M concurrent connections for select 2012 Models. Gaia secures IPv6 networks utilizing the Check Point Acceleration & Clustering technology and it protects the most dynamic network and virtualized environments by supporting 5 different dynamic routing protocols.
