office 365 application base routing

niwarthana — Tue, 07 Apr 2020 20:05:58 GMT

I'm using CP version R77.30. Recently we have migrated to O365 for mail services. I have 3 ISP links for the internet. I need to route user's mail services (office365) only through one link. That link is only for mail traffic not for other traffics. As I know the current version (R77.30) of the CP doesn't support this requirement. Is there any way to solve this issue?

You may be able to achieve this with Policy Routing, but you'd have to either manually maintain or script the necessary changes to those IP address.
R80.40 has a way to meet this requirement without having to maintain the routing table with a script or manually.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Manually & Scrip maintaining is not practical and won't be work perfectly. As you mentioned the above issue can solve R80.40 version. Do you have any guide for this?

We don't have an official SK as of yet, it should come out soon.
As I've been advised it's still internal (for now), I can't share details here.
Your local Check Point office should be able to assist, however.

Is there an SK available for this yet?

Yes, it requires enabling a hidden feature in R80.40.
It also has several limitations, documented in the following SK: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk167135
