I've been tooling around, trying to learn how to configure Remote Access on a SMB 1500 cluster for a few weeks now. Mostly, I've been confused as all heck because of what seemed to me to be conflicting documentation. I have the downloaded the SMB 1500 administration guides (PDF form) and referenced the online web versions. But the on-line version seemed much more comprehensive, but contained information that really did not work.
I've finally traced down the issue here: The web versions of the 1500 admin guides contain cross references between the Local Administered version and the Centrally Administered version, at least in the search function.
Try this:
- Go to the 1500 Centrally Managed on-line web Administration Guide at: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R80.20/AdminGuides/Centrally_Managed/EN/Content/Front-Matte...
- Type "Remote Access Blade" into the search box in the left hand table of contents.
- The very first topic that will come up is "Configuring the Remote Access Blade". Go ahead and click on it.
- Note from the URL that you are still in the Centrally Managed documentation: ...documents/SMB_R80.20/AdminGuides/Centrally_Managed/EN/Content/Topics/Configuring-Remote-Access-Blade.htm?Highlight=Remote Access Blade...
- The instructions are actually from the Locally Managed document. Referencing the Locally Managed PDF I find the exact same instructions, which are not in the the Centrally managed PDF.
My SMB 1500 cluster is centrally managed, so I never previously referenced the Locally Managed PDF file, I just assumed that the on-line Centrally Managed docs had more info than the Centrally Managed PDF version.
Lol, huh?
Updated: 8/13/2020 My SMB 1530 is Centrally managed, not Locally managed.
