I was reading the ClusterXL guide and read that. I talked to my on-site Cisco guy and he said it wasn't necessary. I'll have him try to put the static entry in.

do you have a cisco router/switch in front of them? iirc they cannot handle multicast addresses so you need to put a static arp entry in!

Subject: [FW-1] Cluster XL Problem


I'm having a bit of trouble setting up a VPN-1/Firewall-1 Cluster.

In my attempt, I have all of the appropriate licenses (VFF, ClusterXL, Policy Server).

I have set up a pair of Sun Netra T-1 105 servers, with a QuadFast Ethernet Adapter in each of them as the enforcement modules. I've set up a Sun Netra X1 as the management server. All of these systems are running Sun Solaris 8, with the appropriate Solaris patches required by CheckPoint installed.

I defined my cluster with the "virtual" IP Addresses that will be used, defined the two enforcement modules as cluster members with unique IP Addresses for their local interfaces. Pushed a policy to them.

All of this is pretty normal.  However, here is my problem.

If I establish my cluster as a Load Sharing, Multicast cluster, I can only ping from my local network, the two unique IP Addresses of the LAN interfaces of the two enforcement modules. I cannot ping, the virtual IP Address, the external unique IP Addresses, nor the virtual of them.

If I change it to a Load Sharing, Unicast cluster, I can ping all interfaces, including all virtuals. I prefer the concept of a load sharing cluster without having a pivot system.

Any thoughts as to why I can't get Load Sharing Multicast to work?

Thank you,
