Check Point Cloudguard Standalone connectivity in VMWare ESXi test set up

I have a virtual Cisco Catalyst 8000V connected to a virtual PC and to a virtual Check Point Cloudguard Standalone with a demo license. The Check Point also has a virtual PC connected.

Therefore, this is my virtual scheme:

 

Virtual PC1 (192.168.2.3) -> (192.168.2.2) Virtual Fortinet (192.168.3.1) -> (192.168.3.2) Cisco (192.168.4.1) -> (192.168.4.2) Check Point (192.168.6.1) -> Virtual PC2 (192.168.6.3)

 

I’m evaluating the Check point capabilities and first of all, now that I have everything deployed, I want to test connectivity with a ping.

From the Check Point I can ping everything, so I assume the connectivity should be correct. However, wen I ping the Check Point from any other virtual machine, the ping fails. I’m not sure whether the Check Point may have the ICMP reply disabled, because I couldn’t find any cli command or configuration in the SmartConsole (I ticked the “ping” option when I configured the interfaces in the GUI) to change that, or maybe the network configuration is wrong. I configured these static routes in the Cisco:

 

192.168.2.0/24  [1/01 via 192.168.3.1

192.168.3.0/24  is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 Masks

192.168.3.0/24  is directly connected, GigabitEthernet3

192.168.3.2/32  is directly connected, GigabitEthernet3

192.168.4.0/24  is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 Masks

192.168.4.0/24  is directly connected, GigabitEthernet2

192.168.4.1/32  is directly connected, GigabitEthernet2

192.168.6.0/24  [1/01 via 192.168.4.2

 

And these static routes in the Check Point:

 

192.168.3.0/24               via 192.168.4.1, eth2, cost 0, age 1258

192.168.4.0/24               is directly connected, eth2

192.168.6.0/24               is directly connected, eth1

Am I missing something? Thanks!

Have you checked if packets are actually being received by the gateway?
This can easily be established with a tcpdump on the relevant interface.
