Two ideas: content filter or state timeout.
En detail...
I guess you are using "secure tunnel"s through the Raptor? These are
(IIRC - I only worked with Raptor 4.0-6.0) plain static IP filters. Plus
tunneling happens before the GSPs get into action.
As for the CheckPoint - they use stateful (dynamic) packet filters with
some extensions ("inspection" code). If there was a rule above that did
not match but contained a ressource (security server), then your
connection will be tunneld through this ressource even if you did not
define oit this way. So connections on the same port as defined
ressources (e.g. SMTP) will fail.
Second is that the Legato might use kinda RPC protocol - one control
channel and a number of data channels. If this is the case I guess the
conrtol channel only is used at the beginning and at the end of each
session. If backup takes longer, then the session might be cut due to
exceeding the timeouts set in the FW properties. If this is the case,
you should find a number of "unknown established" packets between the
Legato server and clients in the FW log. This can be mitigated by
increasing the UDP/TCP session timeout.
Please let me know what worked.
