Sorry for not being clearer, Yes we do have switches at each end,
otherwise we could not have the clustered gateways at each location.
What I would like to do is leave the routing out of the switches and
have it on the firewalls if that's possible.
For instance, l could just set up the interface on the Cluser A
firewalls to have the 192.168.6 - 10 networks in a network group object
that would be used on the gateway interface properties tab, under the
topology section. This would route all traffic to those network through
to the other gateway via the point to point connection.
My questions are in regards to the configuration at the Cluster B
gateways to route the traffic back from the .5, .6, etc networks back
through the point to point interface. What do l need to do to make that
happen?
Thanks,
Alan

Hey Guru's,
I've been working with checkpoint for years but have never configured a
point to point connection between 2 checkpoint firewalls. We wish to
connect the ethernet drops directly to the firewalls (bypassing any need
for intermediary switches).
Both Firewall clusters are running R65.
We currently have a VPN tunnel providing this connectivity via our
external WAN connection, and now wish to route via the Point to point.
Behind firewall cluster A we have the 192.168.1.0 thru 192.168.5
networks (each on a separate DMZ firewall port), and behind firewall
cluster B we have the 192.168.6.0 thru 192.168.10 networks (each on a
separate DMZ firewall port).
How do l configure the Firewall ports at each end of the firewall? and
how do l configure the routes and rules to route the traffic correctly
between the 2 firewalls?
What do you care if the next hop is a Check Point firewall doing
routing, or if it is some other router? IP routing is IP routing.
The only care is that need to make sure that each cluster uses an unique
identifier. read all about the mac magic (or was it magic mac?) in the
knowledgebase.
I fail to see how you can make clustering work without the use of
properly connected L2 switches.
I suggest you take pen and paper and make yourself a drawing of it and
follow the path for each variable. So think what happens if you take
cluster members out of the drawing and see if it still works. I think
you will see quite a bit of problems if you use direct connections
without a switch in between.
Hugo.
