Checkpoint Manager and Gateway configuration automation

behzadk — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 22:03:04 GMT

Hi All, I'm working on Checkpoint R8040 deployment in IBM Cloud VPC and managed to deploy Checkpoint Manager and Gateway appliances. I'm not a Checkpoint SME and wondering if there are configuration automation scripts that I could run after appliance deployment to complete initial configuration of appliances.

Regards

Note that we have not announced formal support for IBM Cloud VPC yet.
The official SK on this is still internal.
That said, you should be able to use cloud-init to do additional automation of the deployment.

Thank you very much for quick reply and great link.

I think IBM Cloud team is working on getting formal support and approval for Checkpoint in IBM Cloud VPC. Hopefully it'll get approved soon.
