The Advanced Networking Blade is not subscription-based and therefore does not have to be renewed on a regular basis. The Advanced Networking Blade is a software blade that provides advanced routing capabilities for Check Point Security Gateways. It supports dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, RIP, and PIM, as well as features such as Policy-Based Routing (PBR), Multicast Routing, and IPv6 support. The Advanced Networking Blade is included in the Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) package and does not require a separate license.

Advanced Security Checkups can be easily conducted within the Reports tab in the Logs & Monitor view in SmartConsole. The Reports tab allows you to generate and view various reports that provide insights into the security status and performance of your network. You can use predefined reports or create custom reports based on your needs. You can also schedule reports to run automatically and send them by email. Some of the predefined reports that can help you conduct advanced security checkups are:

• Security Overview: This report provides a summary of the security posture of your network, including the number and severity of incidents, the top attacked hosts and services, the top attackers and attack methods, the top detected threats and vulnerabilities, etc.
• Security Best Practices: This report evaluates your security configuration and policy against the Check Point best practices and provides recommendations for improvement. It covers areas such as firewall policy, NAT policy, VPN policy, identity awareness, threat prevention, etc.
• Compliance Status: This report assesses your compliance level with various regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, etc. It shows the compliance score, the compliance status of each requirement, the compliance status of each gateway and blade, etc.
• Network Activity: This report shows the network activity and traffic patterns on your network, including the top sources and destinations of traffic, the top protocols and applications used, the top bandwidth consumers, etc.
• System Health: This report monitors the health and performance of your management server and gateways, including the CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space, network interfaces, etc. References: R81 Logging and Monitoring Administration Guide

It is recommended to enable Detect-Only for Troubleshooting on the profile during the initial installation of IPS. This option overrides any protections that are set to Prevent so that they will not block any traffic.

During this time you can analyze the alerts that IPS generates to see how IPS will handle network traffic, while avoiding any impact on the flow of traffic.

The correct command to observe the Sync traffic in a VRRP environment is fw monitor –e “accept dst=224.0.0.18;”. This command captures the packets that have the destination IP address of 224.0.0.18, which is the multicast address used by VRRP for synchronization. The other commands are either not valid or not specific to VRRP Sync traffic. References: [Check Point R81 ClusterXL Administration Guide], Check Point R81 Performance Tuning Administration Guide
