Hi Bob,

Per sk22628, it must be installed on the SmartCenter. It cannot be installed on a standalone machine running both the enforcement module and SmartCenter. yet another reason to use a distributed environment if possible. sk15756 says it's only supported on a Windows SmartCenter as well.

sk17562 has the download information and it is not a public download. I didn't see it on the SofaWare site either.

Did you get software subscription with the Edge box? Maybe this is part of it.

Is thgis a patch that would have to be installed on the firewall or my admin workstation ? This is the first I've heard of needing this, is it possible to get it from Sofaware ? Or would it have to be downloaded from Cehckpoint. The problem I have is that my main firewall subscription has expired, the only support I'm going to have is on the Edge box.
Thanks

SmartCenter on R54 needs to have the Sofaware AddIn installed to manage Edge
boxes. It comes pre-installed with R55. You also need 4.1 Backward
Compatibily installed on R54 or R55.

After you get on a compatible version of SmartCenter, Edge will pull the
certificate from SmartCenter. SmartCenter will be set up as the Edge's
"Service Center."

Note that an Edge does not understand Perfect Forward Secrecy or
Site-to-Site IP COmpression, so they must be disabled in the community. It
can be made to understand PFS but only via a CLI command, not the web GUI.

HTH,

Ray

Thank you all for the replies on this.

The problem is I think I've done pretty much everything as suggested (apart
from upgrading to the latest version - the box is relatively new, and the
version is 5.0.73x).

I manage the box and the box logs to the management server but when trying
to establish a VPN I got

On the Edge box:

Failed to establish VPN tunnel with x.x.x.x: no proposal chosen

In SmartTracker:

Rejected by central gateway with this message:

IKE: Main Mode Missing IKE configuration for peer (authentication or
encryption or hash).

I have checked and double-checked the IKE properties: all set to various
combinations on both ends (the one I want to work is 3DES and SHA1).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Huiqi Liu

Your answer confirms my worst fears.
Support has expired on my firewall and I think I might have to pay for help

with it. I've inserted the reasons below.
Thanks, though, for the help so  far.

I did loook in their faqs, but the only docs I cvould find had to do with
connecting two edge boxes, to a cisco firewall, and I think one to a
Windows
server.

Might not be an option, my contract is up and I don't know if I can get
clearance to pay for more support.

>>I can tell you that first your management has to have a valid IP address
>>because you edge device looks for it and tries to connect to it.
It does.

>>For the configuration is like this
>>Enter to the smartcenter server
>>Create a profile for the Edge (new checkpoint->profile->vpn-1edge )
This I don't get. When I go to create->Checkpoint I don't have the option
to
create a profile. I can create either a new Gateway or an Embedde3d Device,

but the only type of Embedded Device I can create is a Nokia 5X. I'd figure

that I should be creating a new Gateway, though.

I think if I can get the registration key, though, I might be able to do
this. Just having a hard time getting it from the vendor. So far, they
haven't given me the Gateway ID and Registration Key to connect to the
Sofaware User Center. Hopefully getting this will help.

Along these same lines, I have a firewall R54 running Secure Platform. I'm
trying to add an Edge X16 box for a remote site, but having problems
getting
the two to communicate.
I think one of the problems I'm having is that I've been unable to find how
to export a certificate from the splat platform to import on to the Edge
box.
If anyone has any pointers to any documentation on how to set up a site to
site vpn between these two, I'd appreciate it. Everything I can find so far
is between two platforms of the same type, i.e. edge to edge, or such. I'm
relatively new to the Checkpoint community, so the more simplistic it is
the
better.
Thanks
