The local.arp file let's the Firewall answer arp requests for IP's that you specify. For example if you have assigned a webserver an external IP, your local.arp file will have the valid IP and the MAC address of the external NIC on you firewall. Copy this file to the CONF directory and do a CPSTOP and CPSTART....I think. Reboot if you don't think it took. Hope this helps. To test, you should be able to ping the valid address from your external router and have the firewall answer the ping.

We want to move it to R55 with HFA on Windows 2003 server. Using export/import to bring our rules into the R55 firewall. Also need to change external ip address to a different subnet. We tried to do this all at once and had some problems with just a few of our static Nats working. Has anyone tried to use local.arp with R55 on Windows 2003? If so how would I set it up. Any suggestions, directions would be helpful. Everything on the R55 firewall seemed to work except for some static Nats. We always flush the ext. routers arp cache when we do this. thanks, Curtis Moon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
