RE: [FW1] Too Many Internal Hosts



This is caused by the external interface of the firewall not being defined
correctly.  You want to change this to reflect the external interface of the
firewall, when this is not set the firewall counts both internal and
external address as traversing it and records them in it's host file.  Once
it has reaced the license limit, 25 in your case, it will begin to spew out
those errors. If you run 'cpconfig' one of the menu options should be
external interface, set it to reflect the physical name (on Nokia it's
eth-sxpxc0 on Sun hme0/qfe0) . You will then want to stop the firewall go
into the database directory and delete the fwd.h and fwd.hosts in order to
reset the host count.  You shouldn't experience this error after having set
the external interface appropriately.

Jason,

Type the following command from your Nokia console :
#fw ctl debug -buf
This will prevent the high CPU utilization by blocking console error message
logging
You should check this vulnerability to securityfocus.
I don't know when Checkpoint fix this bug in the next sevice pack.
Unfortunately, for Nokia user the SP3 haven't release yet.

cheers to you :)
