VSX supports two Check Point management models: Security Management Server and Multi-Domain Server. Both models provide central configuration, management and monitoring for multiple VSX Gateways and Virtual Systems. The choice of management model depends on several factors, including:
You can use either management model to manage a "physical" Security Gateway together with a VSX Gateway and Virtual Systems. You can also manage VPN communities and remote connections with either model.
|
Note - According to the Check Point EULA (End User License Agreement), a Security Gateway can only manage security policies for Virtual Systems belonging to a single legal entity. In order to manage Virtual Systems belonging to multiple legal entities, you need to deploy a Multi-Domain Security Management solution with a separate Domain Management Server for each legal entity. For more information regarding Licensing, refer to your Check Point Reseller. |
The Security Management Server model is for enterprise deployments with many Virtual Systems, but one domain. SmartConsole connects to the VSX Gateway, which contains the Virtual Systems, and directly manages each Virtual System.
