Hi, Can someone please advise on the following issue? I have set up a pair of CheckPoint v4.1 Firewall systems in a HA configuration. On some occassions, however, I have found that the standby system is still actually able to communicate with the networks that should only really be accessible via the active Firewall system. In order to ensure that only one Firewall is truly active at once, I have to fail the Firewalls manually twice to return the standby system to a dormant state. Simply stopping and restarting the Firewall software on the standby system or reinstalling the policy from the management station does not disable the packet processing on the standby system. This behaviour causes problems with a number of utilities esp. ones originating from networks behind the firewalls. I am also wondering how to safely reboot a standby system, or how to restart firewall software on the standby system without doing the manual failover. Has anyone else ever experienced any similar problems and if so are there any workarounds available? Any help hints or clues would be greatly appreciated as I have not found any documentation which helps. Thanks for your time, regards Derek ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
