Checkpoint Lab - 4 (Installing Gaia R 76, Firewall gateway) Tutorial

Security Gateway install and setup

It’s pretty much the same steps and follows the same process as you did earlier for manager. I am just going to highlight the key differences in the below screenshots.

Since this is a gateway and we will log the traffic accept/reject and other parameters I would recommend you to change the below options instead of accepting the defaults and finish the installation.

This is firewall in main office, so it would have 3 interfaces (Refer the lab setup – Checkpoint – 1) internal network eth1, DMZ eth2 and external eth0. So during the setup config only eth1 and leave the GW empty. Firewall gateway would actually be the external ISP router. I will cover that later. We can always update the IP's later once we connect to either manager or gateway via browser. So if you make a mistake in assignment or miscalculate don't worry you can fix it. Just make sure until you can update remember the ip that you are assigning now.
If you are following the lab setup  - Select eth1 and assign 10.1.1.222

After the install you will be able to access the firewall with https://10.1.1.222 if you are following the lab setup.

STOP---IMPORTANT---CHECK

Select the “Security Gateway” Option.

The manager and firewalls talk to each other using SIC – secure internal communication method so you need to specify one time password for now. Later you will be using the same password to setup manager to gateway relationship.
