Over the last years I had a very good cooperation and exchange of knowledge with @Timothy_Hall. Therefore I recommend you to read this book about Check Point Performance Tuning.
| Why these articles |
|---|
I wrote my first article on R80.x firewall architecture a year ago. After many hours in the lab with R80.10, R80.20, R80.30 and R80.40 many long evenings, another approximately 40 articles were added.
Because I lost the overview of my articles, here is a list of links to the most interesting articles with the topics:
- R80.x performance tuning
- R80.x architecture
- R80.x new CoreXL, SecureXL and ClusterXL functions
I hope I can help you with interesting information about R80.x!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the Checkmates forum and to the Check Point R&D guys as well as the Chackmates team and thanks to all who voted this article as Post of the Year 2019.
Great master Cheat-Sheet
