Hi All,

>From memory, when you do an upgrade, you need to run the NG pre_verifier
script on the 4.1 FW-1 management server (get this from CheckPoint in the ).
The output of this script SHOULD tell you most of the issues that you need
to fix first *using your 4.1 GUI*. Fix these issues before running the
pre_verifier again. If you use VRRP, research whether you need to modify
your settings to include IGMP. For Nokia IPSO appliances this is a
requirement - CheckPoint pre_verifier will not tell you this. Once you
are happy, run a script called upgrade_export. This will create the file
that you will import into NGAI. I have only performed this on a clean
Solaris build with a clean NGAI management server - not on the same box,
as an immediate 4.1->NGAI upgrade - this was deemed less risky.

By the way, if you have firewalls between your NGAI management server
and enforcement modules, you will need to investigate the extra ports
that need access for the SIC channels (key management, x.509
authentication for policy pushes etc....)

note. NGAI also supports the management of both NGAI and 4.1 sp6 modules
with backwards compatibility mode.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert Lockwood, CISSP.

You can find it at phoneboy:

> If I am

You can get ist from your reseller or from checkpoint.com under
downloads if you have an appropriate usercenter account.

Sorry, don't know.

> If someone could give some hints that would be great.
