SmartProvisioning Wizard

SmartProvisioning Wizard

When you open SmartProvisioning, the System Overview work space contains the Getting Started area, which includes the SmartProvisioning Wizard button. Before using the wizard, you must have defined devices enabled for provisioning without any Provisioning Profiles assigned.

It offers the following operations (one or more of which you can choose to perform on the selected devices):

• Verify each device has the software needed to support provisioning.
• Fetch each device's current configuration settings.
• Associate the selected devices with a Provisioning Profile.

Before Using the SmartProvisioning Wizard

Before you open the SmartProvisioning wizard, prepare all gateways to be provisioned:

• Check Point Gateways are of one of these versions:
  • Check Point NGX R65 with HFA 40 or higher
  • Check Point R70 or higher
• IP Appliances have:
  • IPSO 6.2 operating system
  • Check Point R70.40
• All gateways have a Security Policy installed

To upload packages to the repository:

1. Open SmartUpdate (Window > SmartUpdate).
2. Select Packages > Add and select a source:
   • File or DVD: Prepare the files (*.tgz format) and browse to the files to add to the repository. When you click OK, the package is added to the Package Repository.
   • Download Center: Have your username and password for the Check Point User Center. When your credentials are authenticated, the Get Packages from Download Center window opens, displaying the packages that are available to you. Select the packages to download and click Download.
3. Reboot the gateways after installing the HFA.
