Checkpoint Interface Speed in Azure

[Jamie_Thatcher]

Hi all,

We deployed a traditional Checkpoint in Azure a few years back (not using virtual WAN) and after a bit of testing today i've noticed the interfaces are only running at 1gb. Is there a way to allow more throughput?

Thanks

I would assume that IFs speeds are due to MS Azure !

Which VM instance type did you deploy on Azure and what version GAiA OS?

sk171052: CloudGuard Network Security Performance Data Sheets for Azure and AWS

Its R81 and Standard D3 v2

Which blades are enabled, how did you perform the test or was this just looking at interface speeds reported on the CLI?

I will check the doc one of the CP folks sent me last year about it. I cant share it, as its confidential, but I believe it does have to do with VM type/size, for sure.

Best,

Andy
