Checkpoint Interface Speed in Azure

Jamie_Thatcher — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 09:04:27 GMT

Hi all,

We deployed a traditional Checkpoint in Azure a few years back (not using virtual WAN) and after a bit of testing today i've noticed the interfaces are only running at 1gb. Is there a way to allow more throughput?

Thanks

I would assume that IFs speeds are due to MS Azure !

I will check the doc one of the CP folks sent me last year about it. I cant share it, as its confidential, but I believe it does have to do with VM type/size, for sure.

Best,

Andy

Which blades are enabled, how did you perform the test or was this just looking at interface speeds reported on the CLI?
