RE: [FW1] License Question



Then why don't you just license the internal side. Since you can maintain
your network setting regardless of external addressing, this will allow you
to move the firewall without changing the license. Contrary to some
expectations the license does not have to be the external interface and it
is irrelevant to the Firewall object's defined host address, which may very
well be the external interface depending on the situation.

I have defined internal firewalls with a private network scheme, so I know
this is possible. (I would just write up the rationale in the license
request comment block to tell checkpoint what you are up to.) I also have
firewalls with internal addresses licensed, so I know that is also possible.
I have never tried a loopback interface.

I would licnese you internal and that way you can just change the
ruleset/interface properties.

Subject: RE: [FW1] License Question


well...that's kinda where I'm going with that. I'm not trying to bypass the
process. I have a FW that we send out to meetings a few times a year in
different hotels around the world. We get internet access from the local
hotel, but, with every hotel, the IP address changes. I would like to put
the original license to a loopback so that FW will be licensed, but the
Interfaces will have different IP addresses with each hotel.

Thanks all for your replies. I guess the easiest way to do this is to test
in the lab. I'll try it and see if it works. I was hoping someone might have
already invented this wheel....

Thanks again.
