Adding Gateways to the Management Console

This step describes how to add a Security GatewayClosed Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources. to Check Point's Security Management ServerClosed Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to manage the objects and policies in a Check Point environment within a single management Domain. Synonym: Single-Domain Security Management Server.. A Security Gateway enforces Security PoliciesClosed Collection of rules that control network traffic and enforce organization guidelines for data protection and access to resources with packet inspection. configured on the Security Management ServerClosed Check Point Single-Domain Security Management Server or a Multi-Domain Security Management Server..
