Dynamic Routing for Virtual Devices

This section presents procedures for configuring dynamic routing for Virtual Systems and Virtual Routers. The Virtual Devices can use dynamic routing protocols to communicate and distribute routes amongst themselves and with external routers and other devices. VSX Virtual System Extension. Check Point virtual networking solution, hosted on a computer or cluster with virtual abstractions of Check Point Security Gateways and other network devices. These Virtual Devices provide the same functionality as their physical counterparts. uses the Gaia Check Point security operating system that combines the strengths of both SecurePlatform and IPSO operating systems. routing daemon (routed).

You can configure dynamic routing for each of these Virtual Devices:

• Virtual System Virtual Device on a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member that implements the functionality of a Security Gateway. Acronym: VS.

• Virtual Router Virtual Device on a VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster Member that functions as a physical router. Acronym: VR.

Each of these Virtual Devices has its own dynamic routing instance and configuration file. Use the same procedures to configure the dynamic routing protocols for Warp Links as regular interfaces. You can also configure dynamic routing separately on each VSX Cluster Member Security Gateway that is part of a cluster..

Important - You cannot use the CLI to configure static routes for VSX. You can only configure them in SmartConsole Check Point GUI application used to manage a Check Point environment - configure Security Policies, configure devices, monitor products and events, install updates, and so on. in the applicable VSX object.

For more about configuring dynamic routing, see the R81 Gaia Advanced Routing Administration Guide.

To configure dynamic routing for a Virtual Device:

1. Connect to the command line on the VSX Gateway Physical server that hosts VSX virtual networks, including all Virtual Devices that provide the functionality of physical network devices. It holds at least one Virtual System, which is called VS0. or each VSX Cluster Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing. Member.

2. Log in to Gaia Clish The name of the default command line shell in Check Point Gaia operating system. This is a restricted shell (role-based administration controls the number of commands available in the shell)..

3. Change the context to the Virtual Device Logical object that emulates the functionality of a type of physical network object. Virtual Device can be on of these: Virtual Router, Virtual System, or Virtual Switch.:

   set virtual-system <VSID>

4. Run the applicable commands to configure the dynamic routing daemon for the Virtual Device.

5. Save the changes:

   save config
