Active-Active Mode for Routing Daemon

Important:

In VRRP Clusters, you must enable this setting.
In ClusterXL clusters, you must disable this setting.
Changing the setting of this option does not restart the routing daemon.
In a Cluster Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing., you must configure all the Cluster Members in the same way.

This option is designed exclusively for VRRP Cluster on Gaia Check Point security operating system that combines the strengths of both SecurePlatform and IPSO operating systems..

When this option is enabled, the routing daemon behaves as if it is operating on a single Security Gateway Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources..

The routing daemon uses the physical IP addresses of the VRRP Cluster Members for routing updates, and ignores all the state of ClusterXL and of Firewall.

Only these features are supported:

Routing (both IPv4 and IPv6): Static Routes, OSPF, and BGP.
Security: Firewall Software Blade Specific security solution (module): (1) On a Security Gateway, each Software Blade inspects specific characteristics of the traffic (2) On a Management Server, each Software Blade enables different management capabilities. (for symmetric connections only - where the same VRRP Cluster Member Security Gateway that is part of a cluster. processes the entire connection).
