HA and LACP

[Zaw_Myint]

Hi,

I'm have to be design two CheckPoint 5200 Firewalls between two Cisco  Nexus 9K Switches and 2 Load balancers. Can I configure CP firewalls as HA and LACP with VLANs? Please guide me how I should do.

Thanks

The short answer is yes.

The LACP configuration should be covered in the Gaia admin guides, e.g. Gaia R80.10 Admin Guide 

The HA configuration should be covered in the ClusterXL admin guides, e.g. ClusterXL R80.10 (Part of Check Point Infinity) Administration Guide

Just a thing to be aware off.

Your setup may have a multicast challenge. In order to have clustering work well you need Layer 2 multicasts to work between members and I have seen some .... challenges in that regard with Cisco Nexus switches. (Each familiy has their own challenges.)
