Re: [FW1] Implementation of MEP and SEP for SA
If you look at the documentation on Checkpoints website - MEP is only for
SecuRemote connections. As there is no synchronisation of the state tables
of either gateway then you don't need any HA software.
Remember that MEP's are a way to provide a backup entry point for
SecuRemote users only and not a SEP HA solution.
Both gateways can be on the same network.
The state tables are not synchronised as in a SEP HA setup so you will lose
your active connections when the gateways failover.

Folks,
Question regarding Check Point's MEP implementation...
1. Will current active connections stay active after a Module
switch; in case Gateway A goes down and Gateway B takes over?
2. Check Point has configuration instructions for setting up a MEP
but they have Gateway B and Gateway A on different networks.
Can both Gateways be on the same network?
Check Point specifies that the following is only needed to create a back up
gateway through MEP:
1. Install FW-1 on GWA & GWB
2. Ensure proper routing
3. Enable "backup gateway for SR"
4. Enable IP Pool (if you want)
5. Ensure no clear text topology transfer
6. Create objects for GWA & B
7. Configure SR.
What about the actual HA software. Is that not needed or will only
enabling "backup gateway for SR" take care of it?
Thank You
Keyvan
