Subject: WG: [FW1] external.if
Hi Scott,
we have the same Problem. We've tested the workaround written
by Mona Rao too, but the effect dosn't keeping a long time. Overnight there's
no possibility to connect to the internet. In Release Notes of FW1 SP5 you'll
find Fixes and Improvements at page 6 point 33: "External hosts that send
broadcast packets are not counted for the license check." But it still doesn't
work.
I've contacted the checkpoint support three days ago, but thy
don't answer me! Can anyone tell us what we can do to make the machine know
not to count external hosts as protected hosts ?
best greetings

RE: [FW1] external.if
Scott,
I experienced a similar issue. What I needed to do was
to delete two files
in the database directory of the
fw. The path being: $FWDIR/database, do a
full listing
of the files.
They are: fwd.h and fwd.hosts
After that stop and start firewall.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [FW1] external.if
Hi,
I'm in the process of loading CP 4.1. During the
installation, CP complains
that it does not recognize the elxl interface, and asks that I
put it in
manually. I did that, and in a test
environment, everything seems to work.
After putting the firewall in place, although it works fine, I
get messages
saying that we have more hosts behind the
firewall than we are licensed for.
We have a 100 user license, and we are not close to
that many machines
behind the firewall. When I
look to see what the IP's it is talking about,
it
turns out that they are outside IP's that are coming in from the
internet, thus it is counting any incoming IP's
against our license. I
checked the external.if
file, and it shows the correct interface (elxl0).
Can anyone tell me what I can do to make the machine know not to count
external hosts as protected hosts ? The cards we
are using are common 3com
cards. We are running
Solaris 7, on a Dell X86 machine.
Thanks....
