Page 15 Chapter 2 Configuring Check Point 1100 Appliance In This Chapter Management Options Recommended Workflow Small-scale Deployment Large-scale Deployment Management Options Check Point 1100 Appliance can be managed centrally or locally. x Central Management - The appliance is only a Security Gateway. A remote Security Management server manages the Security Gateway in SmartDashboard with a network object and security policy. We recommend that you define a gateway object and prepare the policy before you configure the appliance with the First Time Configuration Wizard. x Local Management - The appliance is a Security Gateway and uses a web application to manage a Security Policy. After you configure the appliance with the First Time Configuration Wizard, the default Security Policy is enforced automatically. Using the WebUI, you can configure the software blades you activated in the First Time Configuration Wizard and fine tune the Security Policy. This Getting Started Guide describes how to configure a centrally managed deployment. CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG15 15CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG15 15 25/02/2013 10:05:3025/02/2013 10:05:30
Page 16 Recommended Workflow There are two types of centrally managed deployments: x Small-scale deployment - Where you configure between 1 and 25 Check Point 1100 Appliance gateways. x Large-scale deployment - Where you configure over 25 Check Point 1100 Appliance gateways using a SmartLSM profile and SmartProvisioning. The recommended workflow for defining a small-scale deployment (on page 17) includes: 1. Installing a Security Management Server and SmartConsole clients that operate with Check Point 1100 Appliance. 2. Defining the Check Point 1100 Appliance object in SmartDashboard and preparing a policy for it. 3. Setting up the Check Point 1100 Appliance and connecting the cables. 4. Doing initial configuration of Check Point 1100 Appliance using the First Time Configuration Wizard. 5. Optional: You can manage settings such as DNS, host names, and routing through SmartProvisioning. For more information see the SmartProvisioning Administration Guide. The recommended workflow for defining a large-scale deployment (on page 46) includes: 1. Installing a Security Management Server and SmartConsole clients that operate with Check Point 1100 Appliance. 2. Defining a SmartLSM profile in SmartDashboard. 3. Deploying with SmartProvisioning.

Page 17 Small-scale Deployment Predefining a Centrally Managed Deployment To manage the Check Point 1100 Appliance in a centrally managed deployment, you must install a Security Management Server and SmartConsole clients that operate with Check Point 1100 Appliance. The Security Management Server versions that operate with Check Point 1100 Appliance are versions R75.46, R76 and higher. )RULQVWDOODWLRQLQVWUXFWLRQVVHHWKHYHUVLRQ¶Vrelease notes (http://supportcenter.checkpoint.com). After installing the SmartConsole clients you can define the Check Point 1100 Appliance object in SmartDashboard and prepare the security policy (in small-scale deployments) or create a SmartLSM profile (in large-scale deployments). Defining the Object in SmartDashboard You can define the Check Point 1100 Appliance in SmartDashboard before or after configuration of the appliance on site. The options are: Management First - Where you define the gateway object in SmartDashboard before you configure and set up the actual appliance on site. This is commonly used for remotely deployed appliances or appliances that connect to the Security Management Server with a dynamic IP (e.g. assigned by a DHCP server or an ISP), as the IP is not known at the time of the configuration of the object in SmartDashboard. You can prepare a policy that the appliance will fetch when it is configured. Gateway First ± Where you configure and set up the Check Point 1100 Appliance first. It will then try to communicate with the Security Management Server (if this is configured) at 1 hour intervals. If the gateway is connected when you create the object in SmartDashboard, the wizard retrieves data from the gateway (such as topology), and helps in configuration. Note - We recommend that you use the Management First option using the steps below. To define the Check Point 1100 Appliance object: 1. Log in to SmartDashboard using your Security Management credentials. CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG17 17CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG17 17 25/02/2013 10:05:3025/02/2013 10:05:30

Page 61 Chapter 6 Appendix B: Security Management Issues In This Chapter Viewing the Policy Installation Status Configuring Notification Settings Viewing the Policy Installation Status You can see the installation status of managed gateways with the status bar that shows at the bottom of the SmartDashboard window. The status bar shows how many gateways are in Pending or Failed mode. x Pending - gateways that are in the waiting for first connection status or are in the pending status (see below for detailed explanations). x Failed - gateways that have failed to install the policy. The status bar is updated dynamically each time a gateway tries to install a policy or tries to connect to the Security Management server. The results of these actions are also shown in SmartDashboard popup notification balloons when such events occur. You can configure these notifications ("Configuring Notification Settings " on page 65). To monitor the status of the last policy installed on each gateway, you can use the Policy Installation Status window. The window has two sections. The top section shows a list of gateways and status details regarding the installed policy. You can use the filter fields to see only policies of interest and hide other details by defining the applicable criteria for each field. After you apply the filtering criteria, only entries that match the CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG61 61CP_1100Appliance_GettingStartedG61 61 25/02/2013 10:05:3025/02/2013 10:05:30
Page 62 selected criteria are shown. If the system logs trusted communication (SIC) attempts from unknown gateways, a yellow status bar opens below the filter fields. The bottom section shows details of a row you select in the gateway list (errors that occurred, the date the policy was prepared, verification warnings). If there is a yellow status bar, clicking Show details shows the details of unknown gateways trying to connect to the Security Management Server. These are the different statuses in this window: Icon Policy status Description Succeeded Policy installation succeeded. Succeeded Policy installation succeeded but there are verification warnings.

Page 63 Icon Policy status Description Waiting for first connection When a Check Point 1100 Appliance object has been configured, but initial trust has not been established (the gateway has not yet connected to the Security Management Server). x If a policy has been prepared, upon successful connection, the policy will be pulled. x If a policy was not prepared, the Policy Type column shows "No Policy Prepared" and upon first connection only trust is established. Waiting for first connection Same as above but there are warnings that show attempts to establish trust that failed or there are verification warnings. Pending The policy remains in the pending status until the Gateway successfully connects to the Security Management server and retrieves the policy. This status is shown only if there was at least one successful policy installation. For example, when the Security Management server has problems connecting to the Gateway (the Gateway is unavailable for receiving communication, as in behind NAT). Pending Same as above but there are verification warnings. Warning Warning. Information Information. Failed Policy not installed due to a verification error. Failed Policy installation failed.
