I would think if the boxes are on the same rev of checkpoint and they are
setup in a cluster then they should sync without issue, but I haven't
tested....

Subject: Re: [FW-1] State Sync Between FW-1 Versions

I have a similar question that I'm just starting dig into and test. I've
got an HA Nokia IP-530 pair running R55, and I've run out of capacity.
Rather than doing a drop in replacement with a rather expensive pair of
IP-1260's, I'm looking at replacing them with a pair of Dell PE 2850's
plus Intel pro MT 1000 quad port cards running Splat.

I realize that vrrp and clusterxl are completely different and that
keeping a splat box from attempting to assume master will involve not
plugging in interfaces until ready to shut off the last Nokia. Has
anyone ever tried to get sync tables between ipso residing box and splat
box? Is the idea to even try nuts?

If this isn't feasible, is there not a Dashboard resident setting that
an NG AI equivalent to "fw_allow_out_of_state_tcp"?  I seem to remember
a setting whereby I might be able to set firewall to take "out-of-state"
packets and compare them against the rulebase.  This would allow me to
perform what would be a connection dropping swap out from Nokia to Splat
box without dropping connections but allowing them to populate state
table, and then later once completely on pair of splats, reenable
stateful enforcement.  Am I dreaming that I saw that???
