How to Update Topology in Smart Console

subrun_jamil — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 19:35:51 GMT

Hi,

I created some new Interfaces at CheckPoint GAIA GUI Interface.

I would like to know recommended steps or CheckPoint doc link to know How to Import or Update the Topology from Smart Console for the newly created Interfaces at GAIA of Gateway Firewall.

Below is example from my lab. Keep in mind...IF you have custom config there already and you press "get WITH topology" that will overwrite whatever is there. I always do "get interfaces without topology" and select option for routing for anti-spoofing, as thats how fw would calculate any changes and policy push is not even needed in that case. Just ensure you have correct routes configured, that sort of goes without saying : - )

I can show you in my lab if you have more questions.

How does the "Specific" option works from your last image. I see i have a firewall that has specific option setup and called a network group there.

I added few more interfaces from GAIA while Needed to Keep The Interfaces Down. And If I try to use from Smart Dashboard with get interfaces without topology option it does not show up new Interfaces.

To get the Interfaces at Smart DashBoard Do they need to be enabled at GAIA / Physically ?

They do...disabled/down will never show up.

For this reason I would generally recommend to 'down' the interfaces on the switch end, so that you can leave them up at the gateway and the fetch will work.
