"fw_span_port_mode" value shows "false"

[BigHec]

Currently I am setting up a firewall as a Standalone and in Monitor Mode.

I am follow this link to setting it up:
https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.40/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.40_Installation_and_Upgrade_Gui...

But until the last step mentioning to check the "fw_span_port_mode", the value it shows is "false". If following the guide it says the value should be showing "true".

Anyone have any idea on this?

Thanks for the help!

Did you do step 2 correctly ? If monitor mode is enabled on the IF fw_span_port_mode should be true.

Configure the Monitor Mode on the applicable interface

Yes, I did the step 2 correctly. I even redo the whole setup but still the value showing is "false".

What if I change the value in the file to "true" manually?

Is it okay to do so?

It is okay to do so.
