I'm trying to get state syncro working between two Checkpoint NG firewalls with FP1 installed.
FW1(1) has an IP of 192.168.1.101
FW1(2) has an IP of 192.168.1.103
Each FW has a sync.conf file with one line in it, the IP address of the other FW. I've issued the following command on each FW 'fw putkey -n localIP remoteIP'.
I've changed the rules on each firewall to allow all connections to all services. I can ping each box from the other fine.
When I peform a 'netstat -an | grep 256' on a box I get '0.0.0.0.0:256 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN'
in the /FWDIR/log/fwd.elg log file I do get the entry 'fwsync: failed to read cluster sync mode!' when I start up, but I cannot find *anything* anywhere which remotely explains what that means. Also i've tried using a packet sniffer which I admit i'm a little rusty with so I might be missing something, but it does not look like it is trying to send sync. packets.
Any sage advice on what I might be missing?
