Mechanism that allows fast and easy deployment of cleanly installed Check Point Security Gateways.
A gateway eligible for deployment.
On Zero Touch, gateways can be claimed or unclaimed. Claimed gateways have settings from gateway templates. If settings changes are necessary for a claimed gateway before deployment, the gateway itself has an Edit option.
In Zero Touch, the initial settings for new gateways or for gateways at factory default settings.
These initial settings include the gateway's Time Zone, Administrator password, and network settings.
Placing gateways into business operation with their chosen configurations.
Redeployment is the return to factory default settings to deploy again.
Popup window that shows detailed information for Gaia Gateways during and after their deployment.
Selected Gaia Gateways on the Claimed Gateways window have progress messages with this option.
A field on the Claimed Gateways window that shows the current status of each claimed gateway.
Gateways show as Not reported before the downloads. When the deployment starts, the status for an individual gateway shows as Installing, Rebooting and Finished.
A process to change the current settings of a claimed gateway. Templates for the gateways only store settings on Zero Touch when the administrator claims the gateway. Claimed Gateways never have access to their templates again unless the administrator unclaims and claims the gateway with the same template.
Edits to individual claimed gateways allow local settings to change when administrators claim multiple gateways with the same template.
An edit that changes the template without having access to the gateways already claimed with it. Settings from gateway templates only load into a gateway's settings on Zero Touch when the Administrator claims the gateway. The Claimed Gateway settings can change with edits to the gateway itself or with an unclaim and then a claim of the gateway with the updated version of the template.
A string of alphanumeric characters set as the management administrator's privileged access to the gateway.
Administrator passwords are set in the Zero Touch Templates for Small Office and Gaia Gateways.
The Media Access Control address that uniquely identifies gateways.
The action on the Claimed Gateways window that disables downloads from the Zero Touch Cloud Service and puts a wrench symbol next to the gateway's MAC address.
In the Use Case - Redeploying Multiple Small Office Gateways example, this action occurs when an administrator wants to redeploy a claimed gateway. A wrench appears next to the gateway's MAC address on the Claimed Gateways window to show that the gateway is Under Construction (disabled for downloads) until it is ready for redeployment.
Remapping one IP address space into another so that there is more security with fewer IP addresses within an organization.
Network Time Protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems. The gateway templates on the Zero Touch Web Portal include options for NTP servers.
Check Point's NTP Servers are the defaults on the Zero Touch Gaia Gateway template form.
Check Point's service that enables connections to a gateway's management even when it is behind NAT.
The password for an internal certificate mechanism that becomes active with this one-time key.
A Check Point web-based user interface with central management and service provisioning for small and medium businesses.
Stock Keeping Unit codes assigned to the gateways in Zero Touch.
A gateway not eligible for deployment.
On Zero Touch, gateways can be claimed or unclaimed. Claimed gateways have initial settings from gateway templates. Claimed gateways can be unclaimed later.
Unclaimed gateways can only be claimed with a Zero Touch template for the gateway's type: Small Office Gateway or Gaia Gateway.
The status of a claimed gateway before it is ready to download settings from the Zero Touch Cloud Service.
Administrators check the Under Construction boxes on gateway templates to prevent downloads until the final configuration and deployment decisions are complete.
Under Construction is unchecked by default on gateway templates.
Gaia Gateways have Zero Touch Identification Key fields on the Gaia Gateway Template.
This string must be entered on the Gaia Gateway's command line interface or graphical user interface to match with the string value in the Template. If it is incorrect three times, the gateway locks.
In the Claimed Gateways window, Actions > Unlock allows the user to try the string value on the gateway again.
The action on the Claimed Gateways window that enables downloads from the Zero Touch Cloud Service to the gateway.
Gateways are usually Under Construction until the configuration decisions are final.

delete cloud-config identification-key
To check if a configuration is available for this gateway in the Zero Touch Cloud, enter:
show cloud-config configuration-status
Zero Touch's responses to show cloud-config configuration-status:
