1800 SMB appliance VPN configuration.

[SaraDokaj]

We have set up a 1800 SMB appliance  in one of our networks and we have configured the VPN and a Remote Access User according to the Guide but we can only connect with the SSL Network Extender not the Checkpoint VPN Client according to the guide they use the same port. We thought it may be a version compatibility problem but we can't find the problem. When trying to connect with the Checkpoint VPN Client nothing shows in the logs. Can someone advise us please?

I dont believe you can use same port. Does it work if you use different port number?

We tried changing the remote access VPN port in the settings and changed it from 443 to 4433 but still only the SSL Network Extender worked not the Remote Client.

I would suggest a quick chat with TAC to resolve the issue in a RAS  !

Is this appliance centrally or locally managed, if the latter which of the following do you have selected?

[SaraDokaj]

We tried selecting only the checkpoint VPN clients and didn't work with the Checkpoint Remote client. We were able to connect with the SSL Network Extender when we had selected the first three options but the Checkpoint Remote client still not working. We have not configured the last option.

What I was personally referring to was when you go to gateway section for visitor mode, select say random port ( NOT https). You can create another port, say 4443 and select it there, and then when you attempt to use endpoint client, just have people add :4443 to IP or fqdn when connection....so say if your external IP resolves to vpn.mycompany.com, you would try connect from endpoint client by creating new site as vpn.mycompany.com:4443...though since its SMB appliance, Im not really that verse in those appliances, so not sure if that option would be same as regular non smb firewalls.

Can you try that way?
