FWD Listening ports

Hi everyone,

 

Trying to track down some information on this.  sk52421 lists the specific ports listed by Check Point services, including FWD. However, when I run  "netstat -anp | grep fwd" on a gateway (in this case, running R80.20 with FW and IPS blades running), I get this output:

[Expert@xxxxxxxx:0]# netstat -anp | grep fwd

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:45568               0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      24580/fwd

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:62818               0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      24580/fwd

 

And on and on. What is the explanation for all the high ports listening on all interfaces?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave
