SSH to Standby FW

Wyman — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 10:22:16 GMT

Hi all,

Is there a way of allowing standby firewalls to accept SSH traffic? I need to setup some monitoring for them and not surprisingly, the standby firewalls are not reachable.

Thanks in advance.

There is a kernel parameter you need to set: fwha_forw_packet_to_not_active=1

If this does not help, look at this SK: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk147493
