Bond High Availability Mode in Cluster

When dealing with mission-critical applications, an enterprise requires its network to be highly available.

Clustering provides redundancy at the Security Gateway Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources. level.

Without Bonding, redundancy of Network Interface Cards (NICs) or of the switches on either side of the Security Gateway are only possible in a cluster Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing., and only by failover Transferring of a control over traffic (packet filtering) from a Cluster Member that suffered a failure to another Cluster Member (based on internal cluster algorithms). Synonym: Fail-over. from one Cluster Member Security Gateway that is part of a cluster. to another Cluster Member.
