Controlling ISP Redundancy from CLI

You can control the ISP Redundancy behavior from CLI.

Force ISP Link State

Use the "fw isp_link" command to force the ISP link state to Up or Down.

Use this to test installation and deployment, or to force the Security Group A logical group of Security Appliances that provides Active/Active cluster functionality. A Security Group can contain one or more Security Appliances. Security Groups work separately and independently from each other. To the production networks, a Security Group appears a single Security Gateway. Every Security Group contains: (A) Applicable Uplink ports, to which your production networks are connected; (B) Security Appliances (the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator determines the applicable Downlink ports automatically); (C) Applicable management port, to which the Check Point Management Server is connected. to recognize the true link state if it cannot (the ISP link is down, but the Security Group detects it as up).

• You can run this command on the Security Group in the Expert mode:

  g_fw isp_link <Name of ISP Link in SmartConsole> {up | down}

• You can run this command on the Security Management Server 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.:

  fw isp_link <Name of Security Gateway Object> <Name of ISP Link in SmartConsole> {up | down}
