cphastop

Best Practice - To stop a Cluster Member, use the "cpstop" command.

Notes:

• This command stops the Cluster Member from passing traffic.

• This command stops the State Synchronization Technology that synchronizes the relevant information about the current connections (stored in various kernel tables on Check Point Security Gateways) among all Cluster Members over Synchronization Network. Due to State Synchronization, the current connections are not cut off during cluster failover. between this Cluster Member and its peer Cluster Members.

• After you run this command, you can still open connections directly to this Cluster Member.

• To start the cluster software, run the cphastart command.
