Re: [FW-1] IP Clustering with IPSO 3.7 CVP Problem - Does GOD hat es me?



John,

There are two full 100-Mbit networks available for state sync: one for
checkpoint sync and other for IPSO xpand traffic... just as recommended on
nokia's and checkpoint's docummentation. The switches are with multicast
enabled and configured as suggested. I have also checked the tables using a
command I don't recall (it shows the connection tables content) on both
machines consoles at the same time. The result was identical...

Also I have to say that the network is not in production yet, and the
traffic is minimum... I have checked the memory and cpu usage and saw that
there is no performance problems.

We have tryed lowering the sync time, but the result was the same.

Does GOD hates me or it's just another checkpoint BUG? :)

I trully want to know if there is anyone using load sharing capabilities
with Cluster XL or IP Clustering and CVP. Please also tell me if there is
NAT or VPN involved. I'm trying to identify if this is a "by design" problem
or not.

HELP ME GURUS!

Tks

Daniel

Clustering on the Nokia's are just going to handle IP based failovers;
state-sync through Checkpoint would be responsible for failing over a
specific TCP session through the firewalls.

Is state-sync working right (cphaprob state from IPSO cmd prompt)? Does
the state-sync network have enough bandwidth to adequately sync up?

Hello Gurus,

We are experiencing a very weird behavior of Firewall 1 AI within a
customer.

We currently have it deployed over a 2 Nokia IP 650 using IPSO 3.7 and
running IP Clustering. We have are not using NAT or VPN. We are also
using Trendmicro's Interscan Viruswall for Windows NT 3.52 and a CVP
server for HTTP and FTP.

The strange behavior is shown when we test the high availability feature
of the load sharing capabilities of IP Clustering. When start a FTP
connection and we turn of the firewall that is handling that particular
connection, the other one does not take it over. It's something like
this:

If the FTP connection is going through firewall A and firewall A goes
down, the connection is lost and must be re-established. If the FTP
connection is going through firewall B and firewall B goes down, the
connection is lost and must be re-established. If the FTP connection is
going through firewall A and firewall B goes down, the connection is not
affected. If the FTP connection is going through firewall B and firewall
A goes down, the connection is not affected. In other words, the
connection is lost if the firewall that goes down is the one the FTP
connection was going through.

I truly feel this is an incompatibility issue with CVP and IP
Clustering, and it's by design. I have already notified checkpoint, but
I'd like your opinion on this problem. Can someone give me some advice
on this?

Thank you!
