November 7, 2012

0

This post is a short story and a summary what grub means and how it is used under SPLAT. After installing R70 Provider-1 on an Openserver and upgrading it to R70.40 I do not have experienced any problem. After upgrading from R70.40 to R70.50 the server just booted again and again with kernel panic, there […]

Just a quick note about CoreXL

August 22, 2012

As a CCSE with about 5 years experienses I must admit I have never had any issue with multicores. But for the CCSE exam it must be clear and have to be saved in our mind. The only required operating system is SecurePlatform, but I am always courious about the other platforms as well. Here […]

Manual Failover

Failover can we generate with a lot of way. One way is with cphaprob, the most complicated way if you do not know it, but I am here for you to understand and use it instead of just an ifdown/ifup for an interface. :-) On the other hand it is an important command for the […]

May 15, 2012

On IPSO the counter for packet drops is almost similar with the cisco drop counters. It is really detailed and can show us many kind of drops. To see if the number iof drops raises we have to check it 2-3 times when the issue arises. I guess with snmp we can monitor that value […]

fw monitor – the missing table

August 22, 2011

For the fw monitor Checkpoint has wrote a dokumentation with the name fw_monitor_rev1_01.pdf. This document is old and – I guess – was never updated with the missing features that can be used to filter with fw monitor. There is a table that I got actually from the site: http://yurisk.info/2009/12/12/fw-monitor-command-reference/ I just copy it here […]

Checkpoint firewall debugging basics

August 9, 2011

To debug a checkpoint firewall is not a big deal, but to understand the output is in many cases imposible for those NOT working at Checkpoint. I write here not about the exact analysation with debugging, just a ‘how to collect the required informations’ that may speed up the troubleshooting. 1. Reset the debugs to […]
