Re: [FW-1] What's BGMP - Urgent

Hi,
port 264/tcp in a Check Point environment is the service FW1_topo for the download of the topology with SecuRemote or SecureClient. The problem you mention is one reason, why many admins turn off the VPN-1/FireWall-1 control connections in the Properties when not deploying these Clients. If you turn them off, watch out to define the necessary explicite rules, e.g. accepting GUI-access from PC to Management or the communication between Management and remote Firewalls. A look in the GUI when selecting "View implied rules" helps a bit.
If you don't use SecuRemote before Build 4100, in version 4.1/2000 you should deselect "Policy - Properties - Desktop Security - Respond to Unauthenticated Topology Requests".
If this is turned on and the Control Connections are selected (as it's default), everybody may download your topology information without any authentication.
Hope it helps,
best regards, 
Matthias
