Description

1

The Security Gateway ModulesClosed A hardware component on a 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) that operates as a physical Security Gateway. A Chassis contains many Security Gateway Modules that work together as a single, high performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway. Acronym: SGM. (SGMs) in the Chassis work together as a single, high performance Security Gateway or VSX Gateway.

The Security Gateway Modules improve system performance.

You can add or remove a Security Gateway Module without losing connections.

If an SGM is removed or fails, traffic is sent to the other active SGMs.

These SGM models are available for 61000 N+N Chassis (see sk93332):

  • SGM220

  • SGM260

  • SGM400 - When using more than 9 x SGM400, the 64000 Chassis is required to maintain N+N capabilities

For more information, see Security Gateway Module (SGM).

2

USB v2.0 ports for connecting a bootable USB drive to install a Check Point software ISO image.

3

Console ports for a serial connection to a specific SGM using a terminal emulation program.

4

The Chassis Management ModulesClosed A hardware component that controls and monitors 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) operation such as, fan speed, Chassis and module temperature, and component hot-swapping. Acronym: CMM. (CMMs) monitor the status of the Chassis hardware components.

If the CMM fails or is removed from the Chassis, the appliance continues to forward traffic, but hardware monitoring is not available.

If you add or remove an SGM to or from the Chassis, it is not recognized.

Warning - There must be at least one CMM in the Chassis.

A second CMM can be used to supply CMM High Availability.

Note - In the CLI output:

  • The upper CMM slot is listed as bay 1.

  • The lower CMM slot is listed as bay 2.

5

AC Power Supply UnitsClosed Hardware component that supplies AC power with filtering and over-current protection. Acronym: PSU. (PSUs):

  • Voltage: from 100 VAC to 240 VAC

  • Quantity: 4 PSUs

  • Field-replaceable and hot-swappable

Note - In the CLI output:

  • The slots for AC PSUs are listed as:

    bay 1, bay 2, bay 3, and bay 4, numbered from left to right.

  • The AC PSUs are listed as PowerUnit(AC):

    AC PSU 1, AC PSU 2, AC PSU 3, and AC PSU 4, numbered from left to right.

6

Chassis Control Panel.

You can use it for a serial connection to a specific CMM.

It also shows the status of cooling fans and additional Chassis alerts.

For more information, see Control Panel for the 64000 and 61000 N+N Chassis.

7

Cooling fans.

8

The Security Switch ModulesClosed A hardware component on a 60000 / 40000 Appliance (Chassis) that manages the flow of network traffic to and from the Security Gateway Module in the Chassis. Acronym: SSM. (SSMs) manage the flow of network traffic to and from the SGMs.

These SSM models are available for the 61000 N+N Chassis:

  • SSM160

  • SSM440

For more information, see Security Switch Module (SSM).
