R8x Ports Used for Communication by Various Check Point Modules (new version 2.1)

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Introduction

This drawing should give you an overview of the used R80, R81 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.

SmartConsole Extention

New!

Now I have developed a SmartConsole Extension so that you can view the overview directly in the SmartConsole.
In the Access Policy section in the upper area, there is a tab called "Ports for Modules". More infos here.

How about including the cluster-admin port between gateways of tcp/1129, I know this tripped me up when first deploying the feature, and it's not an implicit rule.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi Sven,

is added in version 1.4o.

Heiko

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi Heiko Ankenbrand‌,

is it possible to put here also the Port HTTP(80), because with HTTPS you have connection to Check Point Update Server but it is not possible to download Images.

We have for our SMS a Third Party Firewall and we can't download Images till we put the HTTP Port in the Policy for SMS.

Great stuff, I like this collection of CP Ports.

Thanks!!

[Paul_Erez]

nice info

[David_Woodcock]

Intresting document.

[Alex_Koszowyj]

Top document.

[Martin_Arms]

Please  add  the  LOM Ports.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

I'm currently working on an A2 version. At the moment it is an A3 version and I have no more space on the drawing.

[Stephan_Scholz]

+1 from me for adding port 18264, since it is an essential service

[Stephan_Scholz]

As far as I know, Identity Collector only uses TCP port 389 for LDAP communication. The gateways use either LDAP or LDAPS (port 636).

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

I will check this.

I add port 80 in the next version.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]
