Thank you!</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 10:50:50 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156171#M26725 MtxMan 2022-09-01T10:50:50Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156174#M26726 <P>I would use the sync port as you have no cluster and do not need it !</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 10:59:48 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156174#M26726 G_W_Albrecht 2022-09-01T10:59:48Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156219#M26738 <P>so it means possible right&nbsp;<a href="https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/21294">@G_W_Albrecht</a>&nbsp;?</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 13:57:16 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156219#M26738 MtxMan 2022-09-01T13:57:16Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156221#M26740 <P>This is just designated for ease-of-use as Sync and Management - just port speed could be a consideration, but functionality usually is the same for all IFs.</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:01:34 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156221#M26740 G_W_Albrecht 2022-09-01T14:01:34Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156231#M26743 <P>The interfaces named "Sync" and "Mgmt" only have special names. They are not special in any other way at all. You can use them as additional traffic interfaces.</P> Thu, 01 Sep 2022 14:55:53 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/MGMT-Port-for-Routing-and-Inspection/m-p/156231#M26743 Bob_Zimmerman 2022-09-01T14:55:53Z
