If I didn't want to do load sharing,  only automatic failover,  would I
still need ClusterXL?  I currently have VPN-1 Pro gateway licenses on my
Nokias,  I assume that for auto failover capabilities I would need to
replace those licenses with the "Additional VPN-1 Pro Gateways for Load
Sharing and High Availability" licenses?  Or are these licenses an
add-on to the VPN-1 Pro license I have now?

I've tried turning on HA with my current licenses and it does activate,
however if I attempt to check status,  it returns an error saying the HA
module is not installed.   This is why I think I need the license for
HA.

Thanks!

CP Cluster XL licenses - either HA or Loadsharing. When NG first came
out (and in the 4.1/4.0 days), it was very cumbersome and didn't work
well. But now, Post R54 releases work very well and it's very easy to
set up. I suggest Secureplatform with cluster xl and read the cluster xl
pdf.

        I have two Nokia 710 gateways running IPSO 3.7 and Checkpoint
NG-AI R54
        (FW-1/VPN-1 Pro).   I also have a Solaris 2.8 management station
that
        manages both firewalls.

        I only have Nokia VRRP running now to failover the firewalls in
the
        event of a failure,  however this will only work in the event of
a
        hardware failure.  This does not help if the master firewall
software
        stops working or the policy fails.

        What are my options for high availability with my Checkpoint
firewalls
        to ensure that I always have a failover?

        Can you also provide licenses that I would need to purchase?

        Thanks very much in advance..
