While most of the content on CheckMates is in English, we now have a few groups where both content and discussions are available in other languages!
While I took a week off the road to enjoy fall in the Pacific Northwest, Valeri Loukine did a CPX in Russia followed by one of the largest CheckMates events we've had to date!
And oh yeah, it was Val's birthday, too!
Next week? Valeri and I will meet in Denmark for a couple of events.
Meanwhile, here are the conversations worth watching in the community:
If you want to have multiple installations of the same "version" (but different build) of SmartConsole, Portable is the way to go.
What happens when you "include" versus "exclude" or leave those blank?
Handling of an IP of 0.0.0.0...
While you can't cluster these unlike appliances together, you can certainly use VRRP to minimize the downtime when switching over.
This has been updated for API 1.3 (R80.20 API).
If you can't wait for SmartView to be the default log viewing experience, here's how to enable it now in R80.20.
I missed this in previous roundups of new posts related to R80.20.
It's not all there yet, but you can get some of the info.
Updated the thread with the latest guidance from R&D.
Another tool to export/import your policy and objects from R80.x.
If you want to do a quicker install of Security Management, here's how to do it!
Updated instructions should work for everyone, including people who are not existing Check Point customers.
Between Valeri Loukine and I, we'll be busy in the next several weeks!
