Very good, it's a very interesting topology. An extension that helps a lot, it could very well be integrated into SmartConsole in future versions

Hey Danny,

Does it work in demo mode as well? I tried, but though it did accept it, cant see it listed anywhere in gateway menu.

Of course. Takes a bit longer to load in demo mode, though.

Ah, got it, thank you!

Very cool addition. Clean, practical, and easy to understand. This kind of visibility makes a real difference for admins managing complex environments. Great work, Danny.

This is a great contribution to the Check Point community. 👏 Having a clearer topology view directly in SmartConsole can really improve visibility and management efficiency.

Visibility is key! Normally I draw schemes myself when troubleshooting, this really speeds things up! Great addition and idea for a next release of SmartConsole

amazing integration! and the export to draw.io is very helpful for documentation.
is the tool supporting VSX? I noticed it shows just the main IP of the VS.
I'm looking forward for next releases.
Great job👍

Excellent extension Danny, thanks for sharing it with us and for the effort you've put into it.

Really nice work. A visual topology like this would be a great addition to future SmartConsole releases.

@Claudio_Bolcato: I just added VSX support.

Wow @Danny ! Very practical!!

Another great extension Danny 😊 but only works with regular gateways.
I am using VSX and this extension currently only displays the VS management IP.
No related interfaces (e.g. bond1.50 or warp). Any plans to cover VSX topology?

Exporting as draw.io diagram looks useful.

Maybe, hcp reports should also have a option like that. (I don't know if it has already.)

Also Danny,

Is it possible to make it work for cluster objects? When I tried it on cluster objects, it gets stuck at trying to fetch.

I can fetch the members but, the virtual ip addresses are not seen. Is this an error?

Really cool, Danny!

PatrickHen — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 13:22:27 GMT

Really nice, but seems it's not working anymore. At least not in R82.10 on-prem or Smart-1 Cloud?
Don't see the topology tab anymore..

Really powerful addition Danny..I would say this would should be something Checkpoint looks to have in there produce.
Question:
How it is discovering the topology? When I use it, it only seems to find 1 subnet.
