Re: [FW-1] does checkpoint actually do a NAT (fwd)



Me neither. But that's because I use
automatic NAT. Only manual NAT need the
extras.

Cheers,
Anders :)

I never needed to put the arp entry only the ip route and it works ...

The thing to remember here is the order in which checkpoint handles NAT and
routing. Routing is handled *before* NAT. THat is why you have to add the
ARP and static route entries.

The packet is picked up by FW-1 because of the arp entry and it is then
routed to the correct interface/gateway. When the packet leaves the
firewall, the header is modified to do the actual NAt.

Frank
