Working with Interface Definitions

All VSXClosed 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. Gateways and Virtual Routers and Virtual Switches contain at least one interface definition.

Typically, you define the interfaces during the process of configuring the topology for a given object.

Warp interfaces, however, are created automatically based on Virtual DeviceClosed 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. definitions and their topology.

You cannot modify or delete a Warp interface.

Adding a New Interface

The procedure and options for defining an interface vary according to the object and the network topology.

Some properties and pages are not available for certain interface definitions.

To add a new interface:

  1. Open the Virtual Device object.

  2. From the navigation tree, click Topology.

  3. From the Interfaces section, click New and select one of these options:

    • Regular

    • Leads to Virtual Router

    • Leads to Virtual Switch

    The Interface Properties window for the selected option opens.

  4. Configure the applicable settings (see below).

  5. Click OK.

  6. Install the applicable Access Control Policy.

Changing an Interface Definition

This section presents procedures for modifying existing interface definitions and related features.

Interfaces definitions are always associated with a VSX GatewayClosed 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 a Virtual System definition.

To change an existing interface definition:

  1. Double-click the interface in the Interfaces section.

  2. In the Interface Properties window, define the interface properties.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Install the applicable Access Control Policy.

Deleting an Interface

To delete an interface:

  1. From the Topology page, select the interface and click Delete.

  2. Click OK.

  3. Install the applicable Access Control Policy.
