Synonym: Single-Domain Security Management Server. and viewed in SmartView Monitor.

The data shows status for:

  • Check Point Security Gateways

  • OPSEC Gateways

  • Check Point Software Blades

Gateway Status is the SmartView Monitor view, which shows all component status information.

A Gateway Status view shows a snapshot of all Software Blades, such as VPN and ClusterXL, and third party products (for example, OPSEC Gateways).
