R80.x Ports Used for Communication by Various Check Point Modules

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Introduction

This drawing should give you an overview of the used R80 and R77 ports respectively communication flows. It should give you an overview of how different Check Point modules communicate with each other. Furthermore, services that are used for firewall operation are also considered. These firewall services are also partially mapped as implied rules in the set on the firewall.

Thanks for your update Heiko but I can't locate where download with it. The link provided above is v1.5 still.

Thanks @Johnny_Wong,

The pdf is version 1.6. I just did not set the version in the PDF correctly. I will change this in the next days.

Is an overview also available from Check Point?

[nils_alfer]

@HeikoAnkenbrand nicely done!

[JozkoMrkvicka]

Port udp/260 is used for cpsnmpd (related to SNMPv1).

[balder_skoeld]

👍🏻

[Sven_Glock]

Found a missing link: When using "open shell" action from SmartConsole on a gateway an ssh connection will be established from management to the selected gateway.

Thanks for keeping the nice diagraph alive!

Cheers

Sven
