Backup the Firewall

I have not seen such a Server with soo much opened ports like a Provider1. The communications on those ports are encrypted, but they are opened to everybody on the Lan of that server, so it should be strongly adviced to plan for a Checkpoint Firewall Management a separated Management LAN.
