When upgrading from earlier NG Feature Packs, the SYNDefender configurationmoves to a global configuration in SmartDefense and defaults to off. If aper-module configuration is desired, uncheck Override modules’ SYNDefenderconfiguration under TCP > SYN Attack Configuration in SmartDefense settings.2. Prior to NG with Application Intelligence (R54), setting the SmartDefense featureMax URL length to 0 would drop all connections. Since R54, setting the parameterto 0 disables this protection.3. When the Web Intelligence General HTTP Worm Catcher is enabled, policyinstallation on modules running NG FP1 cannot be performed. In order to installthe policy, you should either remove the NG FP1 modules from the list of PolicyInstallation Targets, or alternatively disable the General HTTP Worm Catcher.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 2


<strong>Firewall</strong>4. When the Web Intelligence General HTTP Worm Catcher is enabled, policyinstallation on modules running NG FP3 prior to HotFix-2 cannot be performed. Inorder to install the policy, you should upgrade the module to NG FP3 HotFix-2.5. In modules that pre-date version NG with Application Intelligence R55W, the WebIntelligence defenses HTTP Format Sizes, ASCII Only Request, General HTTP WormCatcher only support the protection scope apply to all HTTP connections; therefore, ifone of these defenses is configured with protection scope apply to selected webservers and is installed on an older module, the protection scope apply to all HTTPconnections will be applied on this module.6. When making Inspect changes to the file user.def, do so to the copy of the file inthe directory $FWDIR/conf (and not the version in the directory $FWDIR/lib, as wasthe practice in previous versions). This is because user.def is copied from the/conf directory to the /lib directory during policy installation.Also, filenames are now adjusted to the different compatibility packages, so be sureto modify the appropriate file only:• user.def.NGX_R60 - contains user code for NGX modules (this will overwrite thefile $FWDIR/lib/user.def during policy install)• user.def.R55WCMP - contains user code for R55W modules (this will overwritethe file user.def in the R55W compatibility package directory)• user.def.MGCMP - contains user code for NG modules, R55 and below.• user.def.EdgeCmp - contains user code for VPN-1 Edge modules.Platform Specific — Nokia7. When the SmartDefense TCP Sequence Verifier feature is enabled and Flowsacceleration is enabled, the Sequence Verifier feature is not enforced and thefollowing message appears when installing policy:“Flows: TCP Sequence Verifier acceleration is not supported on the Gateway.”When SecureXL is enabled, you can enable the SmartDefense TCP SequenceVerifier feature by first enabling it in Nokia Network Voyager (System Configuration> Advanced System Tuning) and then in SmartDashboard (SmartDefense tab >Network Security > TCP). The Sequence Verifier feature will then be enforced onaccelerated connections.Platform Specific — Windows8. Adaptec Duralink64 port aggregation/failover is not supported.9. VPN-1 Pro limits its memory allocations to a certain percentage of the availablenon-paged memory. This limit affects the number of concurrent connections thatthe Enforcement Module can handle. The limit is intended to leave the rest of theEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 3

<strong>Firewall</strong>28. When using SmartDirectory server for internal password authentication, if theaccount lockout feature is disabled the <strong>Firewall</strong> will not attempt to modify theuser's login failed count and last login failed attributes on the SmartDirectoryserver. This improves overall performance and eliminates unnecessarySmartDirectory modify errors when using SmartDirectory servers that do not havethese attributes defined because they did not apply the <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> SmartDirectoryschema extension on the SmartDirectory server.29. Issues may arise when using automatic or partially automatic client authenticationfor HTTP on Load Sharing clusters (both ClusterXL and OPSEC clusters). Aworkaround is to define a decision function based only on IP addresses in order forconnections to open. For ClusterXL, go to the ClusterXL tab > Load Sharing >Advanced, and select IPs only. For OPSEC clusters, refer to the productdocumentation for more information.30. Definition of nested RADIUS Server groups is not supported.Security Servers31. The HTTP Security Server handles a proxied or a tunneled connection requestdifferently than earlier <strong>Firewall</strong> versions. Beginning with FireWall-1 NG FP2, suchrequests are not allowed if they are matched with an Accept rule. However, they arestill allowed if the request is matched with an Authentication or a Resource rule.This change was done in order to harden security and prevent the CONNECT fromlooping to the Security Server and then to another destination.In R54, FTP over HTTP proxy connections were allowed when using UserAuthentication even if they were not allowed explicitly by a rule in the SecurityPolicy. In NGX (R60A), in order to further harden security, these connections arenot allowed by default unless there is an explicit rule (using a URI Resource) thatallows them. If you wish to revert to the old behavior refer to SecureKnowledgesolution sk14608.32. UFP counters available via cpstat fw -f ufp give incorrect values.33. If web browsers are configured to use an IP address for their proxy (instead of ahostname), the next proxy definition of the HTTP Security Server must also use thesame IP address. If the next proxy definition is a hostname, connections using anIP address will not be allowed to the proxy. It is recommend to use only hostnamesin the browser configuration.34. When a field in a URI specification file is too long, the Security server exits whentrying to load the file. Under load, the <strong>Firewall</strong> daemon (FWD) reloads the securityserver, which then exits. After a certain time cores are dumped.35. Client authentication with agent automatic sign on is supported with all rules, withtwo exceptions:Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 6


• The rule must not use an HTTP resource.• Rules where the destination is a web server.<strong>Firewall</strong>36. Security Servers are not supported with Sequence Verifier in Load Sharing Clusterenvironments.37. When using the HTTP Security Server in proxy mode (HTTP Tunneling), connectionsmay be encrypted over port 80 (e.g., the first command is in the clear, andsubsequent requests are in SSL). SmartDefense will block these connections andgenerate the following log entry: Binary character in request. To enable suchconnections, change the global property asm_http_allow_connect to True. Pleasenote that this change will cause SmartDefense to stop examining these connectionswhen an HTTP Connect command is detected in the proxied connection.38. When using SOAP filtering in the HTTP Security Server, the SOAP scheme filesupports all forms of namespaces and methods, however, the feature is notsupported if a method has no namespace at all.Services39. No warning is generated when a policy containing services with the Keepconnections open after Policy has been installed checked is installed on NG FP3modules. Such services will be enforced according to the default behavior on thesemodules.40. When CIFS resources are used in rules with policy targets in their Install On fields,policy installation on NG FP3 modules may succeed without warning, althoughCIFS resource filtering is not supported on these modules.41. A service using the FTP_BASIC protocol type cannot be used with the FTP SecurityServer.42. When using T.120 connections, make sure to manually add a rule that allows T.120connections.IPv643. In IPv6 logs, IPv6 address resolving is not supported in SmartView Tracker.44. Discovery traffic is enabled by default on IPv6 enabled modules. To disable it, editthe file $FWDIR/lib/implied_rules.def and comment out the line #defineACCEPT_DISCOVERY 1.45. Anti-spoofing is currently not supported with IPv6.46. Boot policy is not supported on IPv6 enabled modules.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 7


<strong>Firewall</strong>47. When connecting to the IPv6 IPv4 compatible address of VPN-1 Pro (::w.x.y.z., forexample), the following appears on the console: Jan 14 09:37:32 shif [LOG_CRIT]kernel: fw_filterin: 0 unknown interface. This message can be safely ignoredin such configurations. To prevent the message from appearing, run this command:modzap _fw_verbose_unknown_if $FWDIR/boot/modules/fwmod.o 0x0 and reboot.48. Content of IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels (IPv4 protocol 41) passing through VPN-1 Pro isnot inspected.49. CPMAD functionality is not supported with the IPv6 protocol.50. SmartDefense's ping size property is not enforced on ICMPv6 echo request packets.51. Due to the fact that IPv6 is not supported for security servers, enablingConfiguration apply to all connections under SmartDefense's FTP Security Serversettings causes FTP (as well as HTTP and SMTP) connections over IPv6 to berejected, and no log is generated.52. The command fw6 unload localhost unloads both IPv6 and IPv4 policies,although it should unload only the IPv6 policy.53. IPv6 packets with extension headers which are not explicitly allowed via editing ofthe table.def INSPECT script are dropped without being logged.54. The Remote Shell (RSH) protocol is not supported for IPv6.SmartConsole & SmartConsole Applications55. When a client connects with SmartDashboard to SmartCenter and performs aSmartDefense online update, a second client connecting with SmartDashboard tothe same SmartCenter will see the new protections but not the new HTMLdescriptions. The situation is resolved by the second client logging out & logging inagain.A similar behavior may occur regarding the Silent Post-install Update. If newprotections were added in that package, then the second client that logs in will notsee the respective new HTML descriptions. The workaround is the same (clientshould log out & log in again).ISP Redundancy56. When using the ISP load sharing configuration, outgoing traffic that passes througha security server is not load-shared, and will pass through a single ISP (the defaultroute). If this ISP fails, new connections will be opened through the second ISP.57. If a network cable is unplugged from a network card using 3c59x (3COM), Starfire,or Tulip drivers, the link's status mistakenly indicates that the next hop is notresponding, instead of reporting a network cable unplugged. This affects theEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 8


<strong>Firewall</strong>messages produced by the product when the ISP redundancy feature is used. Forinstance, instead of indicating that the link is down, the message will indicate thatthe next hop is not responding.58. ISP redundancy is not supported in a ClusterXL Different subnets configuration. Thismeans the IP address of the cluster must be on the same subnet as the clustermembers' real IP addresses.59. In a ClusterXL configuration, the names of the external interfaces of all clustermembers must be identical and must correspond in turn to the names of theexternal interfaces of the cluster object. For example, if the cluster object has twoexternal interfaces called eth0 and eth1 which are connected to ISP-1 and ISP-2,respectively; each cluster member must have two external interfaces called eth0and eth1 which should be connected to ISP-1 and ISP-2 respectively.Logging60. FTP data connections may appear in the Active connections view in SmartViewTracker even after these connections have been terminated.Policy Installation61. When installing a policy on a module, the policy installation log may recordanti-spoofing warning messages from modules not included in the installation thatdo not have anti-spoofing configured.62. Policy installation may fail when there are 70 or more dynamic objects.63. When installing policy on a cluster with a Layer 2 bridge defined, the installationmay fail with the following error: Load on Module failed. To resolve this issue, do thefollowing:1. Set the environment variable FW_MANAGE_BRIDGE to 1 on the SmartCenter server.This is done by updating the files $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.csh andCPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh so that they include the environment variableFW_MANAGE_BRIDGE 1.2. Install policy.SAM64. A Suspicious Activity Monitor (SAM) rule will fail for a remote Gateway if theSmartCenter Server is also a VPN-1 Pro enforcement module and no policy hasbeen installed on it since adding the remote Gateway.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 9


<strong>Firewall</strong>Dynamically Assigned IP Address (DAIP) Modules65. The fw tab command on a SmartCenter Server is notsupported.Miscellaneous66. Token ring adapters are not supported.67. The TCP Sequence Verifier is not supported with clusters using asymmetric routing.68. The Accept VPN-1 & FireWall-1 control connections Implied Rules setting isapplicable to a SmartCenter server object in specific cases only:• to the primary IP defined for this object and• only if there are interfaces defined in its Topology tab.This may create connectivity problems when trying to install policies (or otheroperations included in the control connections). The workaround is to defineexplicit rules that allow connectivity to the SmartCenter object.69. When executing the following command: fw tab -u -f -t connections, errormessages such as FW-1: fwkbuf_length: invalid id number XXXX and Tablekbufs - Invalid handle 6a6b8803 (bad entry) can be safely ignored. To avoidthese messages, use the command fw tab -u -t connections instead.70. Deploying a DHCP server on a SecurePlatform machine running a VPN-1enforcement module is not supported. As a workaround, deploy the DHCP server ona SecurePlatform machine not running an enforcement module.71. A large database on a gateway may result in high CPU usage by the services vpndand dtpsd. To resolve this issue, use the cpprod utility to set a value for the settingSIC_SERVER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT.VoIP72. MSN Messenger version 5 is not supported. Additionally, there are a few knownissues regarding MSN Messenger when employing Hide NAT:• When running SIP and the data connection tries to open MSN Messengerconnections on hidden networks, the connection fails.• While audio and video each work separately, they cannot be run concurrently.73. When using the SIP protocol and a security rule uses the Action reject to blockhigh_udp_ports (RTP ports - data connection), the incoming audio is rejected aswell. A workaround is to use the Action drop in place of reject.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 10


<strong>Firewall</strong>74. When an H.323 IP phone that is not part of a handover domain tries to establish acall, the call attempt is blocked and the following message appears on the console:FW-1: fw_conn_inspect: fwconn_chain_lookup failed. If you want to allow thisphone to make calls, add it to the handover domain, and the error message will nolonger appear. Note that this console message may appear in other (non-VoIP)scenarios as well.75. In some cases, when a user closes an MSN Messenger application (such asWhiteboard), the application will not close automatically on the remote end. Theremote user will need to close the application manually.76. When the SIP-proxy is in the DMZ, whiteboard and application sharing will not openbetween external to internal messengers.SecureClient77. Policy installation fails if a combination of different user groups & network objectsare used in the same cell. For example, if the following appears in a source ordestination cell, the policy will not install:usergroup1@netobj1 & usergroup2@netobj2If the user groups match or the network objects match, the installation willsucceed. The following examples will allow the policy to install successfully:usergroup1@netobj1 & usergroup2@netobj1usergroup1@netobj1 & usergroup1@netobj2Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 11

After upgrading from NG FP2, the name of the Internal Certificate Authority (CA)that was previously entered is not displayed in the <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Configuration Tool(cpconfig > Certificate Authority tab), although it is still viable. If it is reconfigured,then it is displayed.2. When using the Upgrade Export and Import utilities on the Windows platform, themachine should be connected to the network. Alternatively, a connector can beused to simulate a connection. Refer to SecureKnowledge, solution sk19840 formore information regarding how to simulate a network connection during anupgrade.3. When upgrading with a duplicate machine whose IP address differs from theoriginal IP address of the SmartCenter Server, if Central licenses are used, theyshould be updated to the new IP address. This can be done via the User Center athttp://usercenter.checkpoint.com, by choosing the action License > Move IP >Activate Support and Subscription.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 12


SmartCenter4. If the Import or the Export operation fails while upgrading, the entire operation willfail with the exception of these products: Eventia Reporter, SmartView Monitor,SecureXL and UserAuthority Server. Use the log file of the Import/Export operationto understand what caused the problem and fix it. The log file is located at:• Windows: C:\program files\checkpoint\CPInstLog• Unix: /opt/CPInstLog5. When upgrading a Log Server, choose the Upgrade option and ignore the otheroptions (to export the configuration or to perform pre-upgrade verifications). Theseoptions are irrelevant for Log Server upgrades. Also, the backwards compatibility(BC) package is installed on every Log Server. It can be safely removed, as it is notin use on a Log Server.6. If, when using the <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Installation Wrapper, the download of updates failsduring an upgrade (for example, because the machine is not connected to theInternet), then the upgrade will continue using the tools that exist on the CD. Touse the most recent version:1. Download the updates from:https://support.checkpoint.com/downloads/bin/autoupdate/ut/r61/index.html2. Save the update on the local disk of your SmartCenter server3. Restart the installation wrapper and choose the second option on the downloadpage: I already downloaded and extracted the Upgrade Utilities.7. <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> 4.1 gateways and embedded devices are no longer supported with thisrelease. After upgrading the SmartCenter Server to NGX (R60A), these objects willremain, but you will not be able to install policy on them.8. Support for VPN-1 Net has been discontinued.9. After upgrading SmartCenter, but before upgrading the gateways, SecureID usersmay not be able to connect. A workaround is detailed on SecureKnowledge(sk17820).This solution should be implemented in the compatibility package directories aswell:For NG gateways (NG FCS - R55):• Unix /opt/CPngcmp-R60/lib/• Windows C:\Program Files\<strong>Check</strong><strong>Point</strong>\NGCMPFor R55W gateways:• Unix /opt/CPR55Wcmp/lib• Windows C:\Program Files\<strong>Check</strong><strong>Point</strong>\R55WCmp\libEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 13


SmartCenter10. When upgrading SmartCenter with a duplicate machine on the Windows platform,the following message may appear after selecting Import configuration file: Failedto import configuration. Imported configuration file does not contain thecorrect data. The problem is resolved by either removing gzip.exe from theenvironment path, or removing the file altogether.11. A secondary SmartCenter server does not support the wrapper’s Advanced Upgradeor the Export/Import tools.12. In this release, SmartCenter does not manage gateways prior to NG FP3. If youhave such gateways, it is recommended that you upgrade them as well.13. After a SmartCenter server was upgraded or copied via the Advanced Upgradefeature, previously defined VPN-1 Edge devices will not be able to connect to it,and the Connection Wizard will generate object non-registered messages. Toresolve this issue, use SmartUpdate to re-install a specific firmware package.SmartDirectory14. When manually defining branches on an Account Unit, spaces between elements inthe branch definition will not work. Example:A good branch: ou=Finance,o=ABC,c=usA bad branch: ou=Finance , o=ABC , c=us15. If Use SmartDirectory (LDAP) is checked in the Global Properties, but no LDAPaccount unit is configured, the authentication of external users (as opposed toLDAP users) that are not defined in the user's database will not succeed. To resolvethis issue, make sure that you uncheck Use SmartDirectory (LDAP) in the GlobalProperties.Policy Installation16. Policy installation may fail when there are 70 or more dynamic objects.17. After aborting an installation, before attempting to install a policy, make sure thatthere are no processes running the fwm load command on SmartCenter server, oryour installation may halt.18. By selecting the Install Policy option Install on all gateways, if it fails do not install ongateways of the same version, policy is installed on gateways by group. There arefour such groups:• VPN-1 Edge• R55W• NGX• all others (R55 and prior versions)Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 14


SmartCenterWhen this option is selected, if policy fails when installing to a member of one ofthe groups, the policy will not be installed to any other gateways in that group.Policy installation will continue uninterrupted to members of other groups, however.19. Uninstall of policy on LSM profiles is not supported.20. Policy installation is divided into several stages: Verification, compilation, filetransfer, etc. Each stage has a default time out of 300 seconds.Should you encounter time out problems while installing policy, you can change thevalue of the timeout in the following way:1. Run the command cpstop on the SmartCenter server.2. Use the DBedit tool to change the attribut install_policy_timeout located inGlobal Properties > firewall_properties. A valid value is from 0 to 10000.3. Close DBedit and run the command cpstart.VPN Communities21. When managing SmartLSM ROBO Gateways, some of which are VPN-1-enabledfrom a Standalone machine, the policy fetch operation may not succeed once VPNhas been established between the Standalone and the ROBO Gateway in question.In order to overcome this issue, you should add the CPD service as an excludedservice for each of the communities which have SmartLSM ROBO profiles. To dothis:1. Open the community object.2. In the Advanced Setting tab, choose the Excluded Services tab and add the CPDas an excluded service.SmartConsole Applications22. When deleting objects from SmartDashboard, in some cases the Where Used...option will not report that objects are being used in the database, and it is possibleto delete these objects without any warning. The following are cases in reference:• RADIUS and TACACS servers referenced by Templates in the Authenticationtab.• Users and User Groups contained by other User Groups.• For SmartDirectory Account Units referenced by External Groups the WhereUsed... option is applicable but the Delete operation cannot be performed. As aworkaround, restart (cpstop, cpstart) the SmartCenter Server. Note that allcases apply only if the objects were created after the SmartCenter Server wasstarted.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 15


SmartCenter23. In order to be able to track Session ID information, an application should beopened independently, meaning not from another <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> application.24. The capability for exporting logs from SmartView Tracker running on Motif isdisabled in this version.25. The View rule in SmartDashboard feature in SmartView Tracker does not bring intofocus the SmartDashboard application if it is already opened to the right ruledatabase.26. When choosing to view Installed Policies from SmartDashboard on Motif, a failuremay occur if one of the VPN-1 Pro modules fails to respond.27. When logs can not be generated from some reason, such as there is no disk spaceor the logging process is down, then changes can not be saved fromSmartDashboard. If this occurs, the following error message appears: The changescould not be saved. Please make sure all <strong>Firewall</strong>-1 services are up and running. Formore information use the SmartView Monitor application.28. When running a query on a Security Policy in SmartDashboard, only user-definedrules are displayed in the query result. Implied rules matching the query will not bedisplayed, even if the option View Implied Rules is selected.29. When switching the active file from SmartView Tracker, the new active file name isautomatically designated by the system. The user-defined file name is ignored.30. VPN-1 Edge objects cannot be defined from the Manage menu in SmartDashboard.To define VPN-1 Edge objects, from the Objects Tree, right click <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> andselect New.SmartCenter Clients on Motif31. The View Rule in SmartDashboard feature in SmartView Tracker for Motif is notsupported.Logging32. When working with a Log Server of an earlier version than the version ofSmartCenter Server, the logs fields of log records from new modules that wereadded after the upgrade of SmartCenter Server may not be resolvable.33. An administrator with Read Only permission for Monitoring can still create, modify,rename and delete queries in SmartView Tracker.34. When a Log Server is installed on a DAIP module, management operations such aspurge and log switch can not be performed.35. If you are using the cyclic logging feature, it is recommended after upgrade to backup your old /log files to another machine, and then to delete them from theLog Server.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 16


SmartCenter36. When a Log Server runs out of disk space, any logs sent by ELA clients will be lost.To prevent this, be sure to maintain adequate disk space on the Log Server.Management High Availability37. A SmartCenter server that is also a VPN-1 Pro module must have a policy installedon it in order for other SmartCenter Servers to be able to communicate with it. Thismust be done after initial setup, or after resetting SIC communication on theSmartCenter Server.38. Database versions which were created using the Revision Control feature should besynchronized manually in a Management High Availability environment. Tosynchronize it, do the following:1. Run cpstop on the standby SmartCenter server.2. Copy all files under $FWDIR/conf/db_versions/repository/* and$FWDIR/conf/db_versions/database/* from the active management to thestandby SmartCenter server.3. Run cpstart on the standby SmartCenter server.39. If a primary SmartCenter Server is in a Standalone configuration, and a secondarySmartCenter Server is active, policy installation from the secondary to the primaryserver will be prohibited immediately after upgrade. In order to resolve this, installthe policy locally on the primary server.40. When modifying the file InternalCA.C, be sure to copy the modified file to theother management stations, and then install the policy again for the changes tobecome active.Trust Establishment (SIC)41. If your SmartCenter Server is deployed in a standalone configuration, you mustinstall the policy locally (in other words, on the SmartCenter itself), beforeestablishing SIC with Connectra devices.Platform Specific — Windows42. Windows 2000 specific issue: A SmartConsole connection to the SmartCenterServer on Windows 2000 may fail with the message: No license for user interface ifthe SmartCenter Server was disconnected from the network and then reconnectedwhile the VPN-1 Pro services on the machine were running. If this occurs, restartVPN-1 Pro services (run cpstop and then cpstart).43.

SmartCentersaved. The solution is to make sure that SmartView Tracker is closed beforeperforming Restore Version operations. If you already encountered such a problem,run cpstop and then cpstart.44. When trying to export a configuration either via the wrapper or via theupgrade_export command on NG FP1, the export may fail with the followingmessage: Error: FWDIR environment variable is not set. Please set it andtry again. A workaround is to set the %FWDIR environment variable to the locationwhere VPN-1/<strong>Firewall</strong>-1 was installed. (The default is WINDOWSDIR:\WINNT\FW1\NG).Platform Specific — Nokia45. When upgrading using the Import Configuration option in the wrapper, and themachine you have exported the configuration from is a Nokia platform, a situationmay occur where <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> packages that were not installed on the productionmachine will be installed. If this should occur, uninstall the relevant packages.OPSEC46. In CPMI, the command line fw unload does not trigger aneCPMI_NOTIFY_UNINSTALL_POLICY notification event.Miscellaneous47. Using the cp_merge utility to merge large number of objects (more than 10,000)from two SmartCenter Servers may not work. This is because at some point twomain audit logs are generated. If you have a large number of objects, and you wishto perform the merge even though from some point the audit logs will not begenerated, then do as follows:1. Define the environment variable FWM_ALLOW_AUDIT_FAILURE from a shell.2. Use the cp_merge command from the same shell.OSE48. The Drop action is not supported for Cisco OSE devices. If the Drop action is used,the policy installation operation fails.49. 3Com devices are not supported.Dynamically Assigned IP Address (DAIP) Modules50. The fw tab command on a SmartCenter Server is notsupported.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 18


SmartPortalVPN-1 Edge/Embedded51. When executing Management High Availability (between SmartCenter and/or CMAand/or MDS) change over may not succeed when SmartPortal is connected inRead/Write mode. To resolve this issue, you should allow access from SmartPortalto Read-only administrators, only; or, use SmartView Monitor to disconnect theRead/Write mode in SmartPortal.VPN-1 Edge/EmbeddedUpgrade1. After a SmartCenter server has been upgraded or copied via the Advanced Upgradefeature, previously defined VPN-1 Edge devices will not be able to connect to theSmartCenter server, and the Connection Wizard will generate objectnon-registered messages. To resolve this issue, use SmartUpdate to re-install aspecific firmware package.SmartCenter2. A VPN-1 Edge gateway will fail to install if a <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> gateway has an interfacenamed in and the SofaWare Reducer is disabled. To resolve this issue, make surethat the SofaWare Reducer is enabled, or avoid naming <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> gatewayinterfaces as in.3. Make sure that in the Advanced Permanent Tunnel configuration, thelife_sign_timeout attribute is larger than life_sign_transmitter_intervalattribute.4. When making changes to the IP addresses of the DMZ or LAN, make sure that theaddress ranges of these two interfaces do not temporarily overlap, as unpredictablebehavior may occur.Policy Installation5. When using the group All VPN-1 Embedded devices defined as Remote Access on therulebase, the icon that is defined is wrong and can be safely ignored.6. The following error message may appear when compiling VPN-1 Edge policy fromthe command line: Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errnodirectly. Needs to be fixed.

Type patch add/mnt/cdrom/SecurePlatform/patch/CPpatch_command_update.tgz6. Proceed with the patch add cd to upgrade the OS.This release note does not apply to upgrades performed via SmartUpdate.2. To upgrade an NG FP2 SecurePlatform machine, you need to apply aPre-Install-Patch on the machine before you start the upgrade process. You candownload the Pre-Install-Patch package from the download center.3. On Dell and IBM systems with the BIOS feature Console Redirection, this featuremust be disabled to use SecurePlatform with a serial console.4. When using the command line to upgrade, exiting the installation before it finishesplaces the system in an unstable state. Be sure to take a Snapshot of the systembefore beginning the upgrade (or answer Y when asked to create a backup image atthe beginning of the upgrade).5. To repeat an upgrade procedure (e.g., after a failed upgrade), install the updatedpatch command from the SecurePlatform CD. To install it, proceed as follows:Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 21

Type patch add/mnt/cdrom/SecurePlatform/patch/CPpatch_command_update.tgz6. Answer y when prompted.After this update is complete, the system will allow multiple upgrade operations.6. When upgrading from SecurePlatform FP2, FP3 and FP4, you must update the"patch" command before proceeding with the upgrade. To apply the patch, insertthe SecurePlatform installation CD and run the following commands:1. mount /mnt/cdrom2. patch add /mnt/cdrom/SecurePlatform/patch/CPpatch_command_update.tgzAfter applying this patch, proceed with the upgrade.7. The installation process fails with some USB CD-ROM models. Use the floppy tostart the installation, or install via the network.8. During upgrade, the following console messages can be safely ignored:• INIT: version 2.78 reloading• INIT: version 2.85 reloading9. During the SecurePlatform upgrade, the following message may appear:cpprod_util: error while loading shared libraries: libcpprod50.so: cannotopen shared object file: No such file or directoryThis message does not indicate any problem and can be ignored.10. The SecurePlatform WebUI management interface will only upload an upgradepackage if the browser being used is Microsoft Internet Explorer.11. On some older computers (usually 5-6 years old), the SecurePlatform CDROM willfail to boot due to BIOS limitations. In this case, create a boot floppy and use it tostart the installation.Unicast Routing12. If working with the Advanced Routing suite, and Multihomed Link Selection isconfigured with identical routes via multiple redundant interfaces, the followingworkaround is required:Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 22


SecurePlatform• If there are only two identical routes, one of the routes must be split into tworoutes: The first route covers half of the subnet and the second route the otherhalf of the subnet.13. Configuring any redistribute options in the RIP environment will remove the defaultredistribute rip and redistribute direct options. These options can beconfigured manually, if needed.14. Despite establishing OSPF adjacency, kernel-sourced routes may not be distributedimmediately. In those cases, a 10 minute delay may be experienced.15. During reboot, a number of Dynamic Routing messages appear on the console.These messages can be safely ignored.16. When working with VTI unnumbered interfaces, changes to the IP address of theproxy interface do not immediately register with Dynamic Routing. For the changesto take effect, run the commands drouter stop and drouter start.17. After running the command service network restart, the previous kernel routespersist. For the changes to take effect, run the commands drouter stop anddrouter start.18. When publishing a network from two (or more) sources with the same Distance andMetric, the network will be deleted from the RIB of the operating system. Aworkaround is to change the metric for one of the peers, or if one peer is reachedvia a different interface, to change the metric of one of the local interfaces.19. When changing the VTI netmask to a specific mask length, the Dynamic Routingdaemon creates three routes: two connected routes for local and remote IPs, andone additional network kernel route for a defined subnet. After VTI removal, thethird network route is preserved in the Dynamic Routing table, but removed fromthe OS routing table.Multicast Routing20. Defining NAT on a host that transmits multicast traffic is not supported.21. To enable multicast service on a VPN gateway functioning as a rendezvous point,add a rule to the Security Policy of that gateway to allow only the specific multicastservice to be accepted unencrypted, and to accept all other services only throughthe community.22. A SecurePlatform machine with more than 10 interfaces may encounter difficultyrunning Multicast Dynamic Routing protocols (as well as OSPF). This issue may beaddressed by adjusting the number of multicast groups that can be joined by asingle process. The limit is set in the fileproc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_max_memberships, and the default number is 20.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 23


SecurePlatform23. The Dynamic routing suite does not support multiple adjacencies to the samerouting neighbor, when one of the cluster IPs participating in the adjacency resideson different subnet. This means that if you have a configuration in which thecluster interface resides on network different from the member network on thesame interface, this IP cannot be used together with another regular clusterinterface for forming multiple adjacencies to the same routing neighbor.24. Defining Dynamic Routing protocols on the Cluster Sync interface is not supported.25. 224.0.0.x routes that remain in the routing table after dynamic routing is disabledcan be safely ignored.26. PIM multicast traffic is not supported with virtual tunnel interfaces configured withidentical local IP addresses.ClusterXL27. Dynamic routing does not support updates in rip multicast from static routes.28. The Dynamic Routing daemon adds the cluster IP address of VPN tunnel interfaceswhen full adjacency is established. This may, however, result in a variety ofproblems, such as losing adjacencies. Generally, VPNT interfaces should not beredistributed to the peers. It may be achieved, however, by using the route-mapcommand. See the following example:config terminalroute-map block-vpnt-distribution permit 5match ip address access-list vpnt-networkexitaccess-list vpnt-network permit access-list vpnt-network deny access-list vpnt-network deny exitrouter ospf 1redistribute direct route-map block-vpnt-distribution29.

When executing the command clusterXL_admin down on a cluster configurationwhich includes Dynamic Routing, be sure to wait 10 seconds or so before runningthe command clusterXL_admin up. Failing to do so may result in a delay of a fewseconds before the cluster member returns to normal (active or standby) state, andthe following error message:Operation failed: member is still down, run 'cphaprob list' for furtherdetails.This occurs because the command clusterXL_admin down causes the active clustermember running Dynamic Routing to start a sync of the FIB table, and will notenter the UP state until the sync completes.31. When using the Advanced Routing Suite with ClusterXL, make sure to perform thefollowing:1. In order to keep routes synchronized among cluster members, allow the serviceFIBMGRD in the Rule Base.2. To prevent FIBMGRD connections from exceeding the timeout threshold, add thefollowing lines to the file $FWDIR/lib/user.def on the management station:/*Cluster related definitions - cluster fold and others */#include "cluster.def"deffunc user_accept_non_syn() {(src in cluster_members_ips,dst in cluster_members_ips,( sport = 2010 ) or (dport = 2010))};32. When using VTIs on a ClusterXL gateway with Hitless Restart configured, be sure toset Hitless Restart to restart-type signaled.33. To ensure RIB synchronization in NGX (R60A), the following steps should beperformed:1. Define a new TCP service with destination port of 1024-65535 and source portof 2010.2. In the Advanced Properties tab, uncheck Match for ANY.3. Add a rule allowing the above service and the service FIBMGR between all thecluster members.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 25


SecurePlatform34. BGP is not supported on interfaces that have a Cluster IP address configured to adifferent subnet than the physical IP addresses.35. Dynamic Routing protocols do not support cluster IP addresses defined on a subnetother than that of the physical IP addresses of the interfaces.General36. In legacy High Availability mode for ClusterXL, MAC address synchronization is notsupported for VLAN tagged interfaces. Use new High Availability mode, or manuallyconfigure the MAC addresses of the interfaces using the ifconfig CLI or WebUI.37. If you use a default subnet configuration, you should define the routing through thedevice and not the IP address.38. Network installation from a Windows-based FTP Server is not supported. Use aLinux-based FTP Server instead.39. The cpconfig command line interface of SecurePlatform versions R55 and earlierdisplayed the time zone GMT offset according to the POSIX standard, which is theopposite of the commonly accepted standard. For example, for GMT+2, thecommand line interface shows GMT -2.In this release, the time zone display in the command line uses the commonlyaccepted notation. Please pay attention to this change when configuring the systemtime zone from the command line.40. For optimal usage of memory on machines with more than 512MB of memory, addthe following configuration settings to /etc/fw.boot/modules/fwkern.conf and thenreboot the machine:fw_hmem_use_alternate_malloc=1fw_smem_use_alternate_malloc=1You should not assign more than 1700MB to the Maximum memory pool size. Thisvalue is set in the Capacity Optimization page of the module’s object inSmartDashboard.41. Files larger than 2 GB cannot be copied as is from SecurePlatform using ftp, tftp orSCP tools, due to current file size limitations in those tools. Split the files intosmaller chunks using utilities like "dd" before transferring them fromSecurePlatform.42. During the Backup/Restore operation, the Expert password is not backed up.43. SecurePlatform cannot be installed on a machine that has more than two SCSI harddrives, unless they are in a RAID configuration and can be seen as a single virtualdrive.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 26


SecurePlatform44. After updating the time zone of SecurePlatform, make sure to reboot the computerto ensure that the new time zone is applied to all applications.45. Restoring the system settings via an SSH connection is not supported. Use aconsole that is locally connected to restore the system settings.46. When using multiple RADIUS servers, make sure that the servers are exact replicasof each other. When using multiple RADIUS servers that contain different users, thelogin failure or success depends on the listed order of the servers in theconfiguration file (i.e., when one RADIUS server denies access, SecurePlatform willdeny access, and does not try to authenticate the user against other RADIUSservers).47. When using RADIUS groups access and user lockout features at the same time,there is no way to see that users that accessed the system via RADIUS groups arelocked.48. When performing snapshot, revert, backup & restore operations, be sure that youhave at least 10% free space in the partition /var.49. Important Notice: This version modifies the way in which SecurePlatform handlesthe BIOS clock settings. For instance, it is no longer necessary to manually changethe BIOS clock when switching to or from daylight savings time. Make sure to setthe BIOS clock to UTC (GMT) time.50. When restoring system configuration from older versions of SecurePlatform, thetime zone configuration is not restored properly. Make sure to configure the timezone manually after restore.51. When using SNMP, enable the service prior to adding new users. The commandsnmp users show does not function as expected if the service is not enabled first.52. Under a high load, Advanced Routing messages are sometimes printed to theSecurePlatform console.53. SecurePlatform NGX (R60) can be configured to send system (syslog) messages toremote syslog servers. Note that system logs can include sensitive information likeIP addresses of the system, etc. Make sure that when you make use of this facilityyou are transferring logs only over encrypted or secured channels (e.g. trustednetworks or VPNs).54. Restart PPPoE and PPTP network connections if initial connection to the modemfails. When restarting the connection from the command line, you may need tore-enter PPP credentials.55. Deploying a DHCP server on a SecurePlatform machine running a VPN-1enforcement module is not supported. As a workaround, deploy the DHCP server ona SecurePlatform machine not running an enforcement module.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 27

When upgrading or installing packages on a Nokia VPN-1 Pro/Express ROBOGateway via SmartLSM, even though the SmartUpdate Package Repository containsa newer IPSO image version, the IPSO image on the ROBO Gateway may not beupdated.2. A Dynamically assigned IP (DAIP) VPN-1 Pro/Express gateway cannot be a COGateway. Thus the command LSMenabler on should not be run on it.3. On a SmartCenter server running on Linux, Solaris, or SecurePlatform, defining anentry similar to the following in the /etc/hosts file should be avoided:127.0.0.1 mymachine localhost.localdomain localhostSuch an entry may cause the VPN routing tables and security policy of a ROBOGateway to not be updated after pushing policy, even though the SmartLSM GUIreports a successful policy installation. In such a situation, it is possible to fetchpolicy from the ROBO Gateway using the command fw fetch .4. When a gateway managed via SmartDashboard is converted to a ROBO gatewaymanaged via SmartLSM, or the opposite conversion takes place, install a securitypolicy needs on the gateway immediately after completing the conversion.General5.

Eventia ReporterEventia ReporterInstallation, Upgrade and Backward Compatibility1. Eventia Reporter can be upgraded to NGX R61 from version NG R56 only. If youare upgrading from a version prior to R56, uninstall the Reporter and continue withthe upgrade.2. The MySQL server on the Eventia Reporter conflicts with a MySQL serverinstallation on the same computer. Install the Eventia Reporter server on acomputer that does not contain a MySQL server installation.3. Eventia Reporter will not continue consolidation sessions if the log files weremanually upgraded on the log server.4. After upgrading from R56 to NGX (NGX R61), a scheduled report that is selectedfor a specific module may fail to run. If this occurs, resave the report.General5. Account logs that are originated by a gateway cluster are counted twice. Thus,reports of these logs will display inaccurate data.6. Logs produced by VPN-1 Pro modules that also have QoS installed show twice thenumber of actual HTTP connections. As a result, reports generated on suchmodules will display an incorrect number of connections.7. In High Availability mode, after switching the status of a SmartCenter server fromactive to inactive, reports that were generated on the now inactive SmartCenterserver are unavailable from the Eventia Reporter GUI client. However, the reportsare still available on the Eventia Reporter server's Results directory.8. If SmartDashboard is connected to an inactive management, Eventia Reportercannot be launched from the Window menu of SmartDashboard. Instead, launchEventia Reporter via the Windows Start Menu.9. When running Eventia Reporter on SecurePlatform, set the number of DNS threadsto no more than 150. Setting this value higher may impede the closing ofconsolidation sessions.10. If Eventia Reporter is running with multiple consolidation sessions, after runningcpstop, ensure that all log_consolidator processes have terminated before runningcpstart.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 33


ConfigurationEventia Reporter11. Eventia Reporter report definitions and other configuration data are notsynchronized by the MDS in High Availability Provider-1/SiteManager-1configurations. To ensure that Eventia Reporter’s information is accurate, performthe following:• Install Eventia Reporter Add-on on a single MDS.• When starting the Eventia Reporter client, make sure to open it only on thisMDS.12. FTP or HTTP distribution of reports does not work with proxy settings. If a machinehas proxy settings, use alternate distribution methods such as e-mail distribution,or copy files from the Report's Results directory instead.13. When a Eventia Reporter Server's IP address has static NAT, a machine running theEventia Reporter SmartConsole must be able to route connections to the EventiaReporter server's real IP address. This can be achieved by running the EventiaReporter SmartConsole on a machine in the Server's local network, or sometimes,by adding the appropriate route entries in the Eventia Reporter SmartConsole'srouting table.14. Only one Eventia Reporter Server can work with the same SmartCenter or MDS.15.

Full Connectivity Upgrade (FCU) to NGX R61 from versions prior to NGX (R60) isnot supported. A workaround is to perform the Zero Downtime upgrade, which mayresult in some connections being disconnected.General2. State synchronization during policy installation may in certain cases cause a clustermember to initiate a failover. To prevent this situation, modify the enforcementmodule global parameter fwha_freeze_state_machine_timeout. This parameter setsthe number of seconds during policy installation in which no state synchronizationwill be performed. Set this parameter to the shortest period which eliminates theissue; the recommended value is 30 seconds.3.

To use manual client authentication through HTTP in a cluster environment, set thedatabase property hclient_enable_new_interface to true. This forces the HTTPclient authentication daemon to ask for both the user name and password in thesame HTML page. When the IP addresses of the cluster members are not routable,the URLs returned in the HTML from the replying cluster member contain thenon-routable IP address of the member instead of the IP address of the cluster.This would fail subsequent operations. The workaround in this case is to configurethe cluster to use a domain name, using theahttpclientd_redirected_url globalproperty. Make sure that your DNS servers resolve this domain name to the cluster'sIP address.7. Use the commands cpstop and cpstart instead of cprestart on clusterconfigurations. The command cprestart is not supported on cluster members.8. A cluster IP interface or a synchronization network interface cannot be defined as anon-monitored (i.e., disconnected) interface.9. Performance Pack is not supported when using ClusterXL Load Sharing with StickyDecision Function (SDF). When SDF is enabled, acceleration is automaticallyturned off. To re-enable acceleration, first make sure acceleration is enabled byrunning the cpconfig configuration tool. Then disable SDF (in SmartDashboard, editthe Gateway Cluster object, select the ClusterXL page, and click Advanced), andinstall the new Security Policy twice.10. When defining VLAN tags on an interface, cluster IP addresses can be defined onlyon the VLAN interfaces (the tagged interfaces). Defining a cluster IP address on aphysical interface that has VLANs is not supported. The physical interface shouldbe defined with the Network Objective Monitored Private on ClusterXL clusters andas Private on third-party clusters.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 36

Defining a Sync interface on a VLAN interface is not supported on Nokia clustersand on other 3rd party clusters.VPN-1 Clusters15. When defining Office Mode IP pools, make sure each cluster member has a distinctpool.16. Before adding an existing gateway to a cluster, remove it from all VPN communitiesin which it participates.17. When detaching a cluster member from a VPN cluster, manually remove the VPNdomain once the member has been detached.18. Peer or secure remote Gateways may show error messages when working against anoverloaded Gateway cluster in Load Sharing mode. This is due to IPsec packetswith an old replay counter. These error messages can be safely ignored.19. Using Sticky Decision Function with VPN features will guarantee connectionstickiness for connections that pass through the cluster only, and not toconnections originating from a cluster member or to it.20. When a <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> VPN-1 NGX peer is connected directly to a <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> cluster(i.e., the peer and the cluster are located on the same VLAN and there is no Layer3 (IP) routing device between them), the following features are not supported:• ISP Redundancy• VPN link selection - Reply from same interfaceThis issue can be resolved either by placing a router between the VPN peer and thecluster, or by disabling these features.

• For other out of state messages:ClusterXLrun the command: fw ctl set int fwconn_merge_all_syncs 1. This allows amore reliable way of merging TCP states across asymmetric connections.25. When employing SecurID for authentication, it is recommended to define eachcluster member with its own unique (internal) IP address separately on theACE/Server. In addition, to send packets to the ACE/Server with their unique IPaddresses and not the VIP address, edit the file table.def, located in $FWDIR/lib.Change the line starting with no_hide_services_ports to, for example,no_hide_services_ports = {}, where 5500 is the service port and 17(UDP) is the protocol.26. For the first few seconds of an asymmetric connection, server-to-client packets arenot accelerated. An asymmetric connection, such as an FTP data connectionthrough an accelerated ClusterXL cluster, is where the server-to-client side ishandled by a different member than the client-to-server side. Asymmetricconnections are only opened when using VPN or static NAT. This is a temporaryperformance degradation that affects only a small percentage of traffic.27. When installing a new policy that uses Sticky Decision Function (configured inSmartDashboard > Cluster Object > ClusterXL page > Advanced), and the old policyused the regular decision function, some connections may be lost, especiallyconnections to or from the cluster members. New connections are unaffected.28. After a failover, non-pivot members of a ClusterXL cluster in Unicast mode mayreport incorrect load distribution information. For the correct load distribution,review the information reported by the pivot member.29. When using ClusterXL in Load Sharing mode and the Sticky Decision Function isenabled, the failure of a module within 40 seconds of an IKE negotiation maycause a connectivity failure with that peer for up to 40 seconds.• When the failure involves a PIX gateway, communications may be interruptedfor up to 40 seconds.• When the failure involves an L2TP client, communications may bedisconnected, as keepalive packets are blocked during this period.30. traceroute may fail if it passes through a Load Sharing cluster. To resolve thisissue, on the Cluster object, select ClusterXL > Advanced and in the Advanced LoadSharing Configuration window you should either:• select Use Sticky Decision Function, or• change the selection for Use sharing method based on: to IPs.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 39


AuthenticationClusterXL31. When performing manual client authentication (using port 900) to a cluster wherethe IP addresses of the members are not routable, the URLs returned in the HTMLfrom the replying cluster member contain the non-routable IP address of themember instead of the cluster IP address. This fails subsequent operations. Theworkaround is to configure the cluster to use a domain name instead of an IPaddress in the client authentication HTML pages, using theahttpclientd_redirected_url global property. Make sure that your DNS serversresolve this domain name to the IP address of the cluster.32. Issues may arise when using automatic or partially automatic client authenticationfor HTTP on Load Sharing clusters (both ClusterXL and OPSEC clusters). Aworkaround is to define a decision function based only on IP addresses in order forconnections to open. For ClusterXL, go to the ClusterXL tab > Load Sharing >Advanced, and select IPs only. For OPSEC clusters, refer to the productdocumentation for more information.State Synchronization33. A cluster member will stay in the down state if it is detached and then reattachedto the cluster, as it does not automatically perform a full sync upon reattachment.To force a full sync, run the following commands on the module: fw ctl setsyncoff and fw ctl setsync start.34. Upon completion of full synchronization (Full sync), an error message Statesynchronization is in risk, is displayed on the cluster member on which thesynchronization is taking place. If this message occurs only once immediatelyfollowing Full sync, it can be safely ignored. If this message appears erratically,consult the ClusterXL user guide in the section Blocking New Connections UnderLoad.SmartConsole35. When working with a 3rd party Cluster Object with QoS, if you move from theTopology tab to a different tab, the following error message appears: No interfacewas activated in QoS tab for this host (Inbound or Outbound). Do you want to continue?Select Yes and continue your operation. This error message can be safely ignored.36. SmartUpdate shows cluster members as distinct Gateways without the commoncluster entity. When cluster members are not of the same version, applying Get<strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Gateway Data on a cluster member will set the member's version on theCluster object. To set the version of the cluster correctly, apply the Get <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong>Gateway Data command to the cluster member with the latest version.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 40


ClusterXL37. If two or more interfaces on the same cluster member share the same IP addressand Net Mask (as might occur when defining bridge interfaces), only one interfacewill be displayed in the Topology tab in SmartDashboard. To manage interfaces withthe same IP address and Net Mask, use the GuiDBedit tool.38. When using ClusterXL in High Availability Legacy mode, the Network Objective is setautomatically to Cluster if all of the members' interfaces on that network have thesame IP address and netmask. Changing the Network Objective to a different settingwill, in this case, be overridden by the system, and change back to Cluster afterclicking OK.39. When deleting a network via the Topology page (Cluster Object > Properties >Topology > Edit Topology), selecting Name or IP address of one of the interfaces andthen clicking Remove results in the following error message: Please select aninterface. In order to remove a whole network, remove all the interfaces(members and cluster) and click OK.Security Servers40. Security Servers are not supported with Sequence Verifier in Load Sharing clusterenvironments.Platform Specific — Nokia41. Either Nokia VRRP or Nokia IP Clustering configuration must be used when creatinga cluster based on an IPSO platform. Using other OPSEC Certified third partyclustering products (such as OPSEC Certified external load balancers) to create acluster based on IPSO platforms has limited support. Contact <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Supportand receive configuration instruction and a list of associated limitations.42. After configuring a gateway cluster on a Nokia platform via the Simple mode(wizard), be sure to complete the cluster interface definition on the Topology pageof the cluster object.43. The feature Connectivity enhancements for multiple interfaces is not supported onNokia IP clustering in Forwarding mode.44. NAT rules should not be applied to VRRP traffic. To prevent NAT rules from beingapplied to VRRP traffic, define the following manual NAT rule and give it higherpriority than other NAT rules that relate to Cluster VIPs or to their networks:Original Packet Translated Packet Install OnSource Destination Service Source Dest ServicePhysical IP ofVRRP membersVRRP IP: 224.0.0.18 Any Original Original Original relevant clusterEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 41


ClusterXL45. When configuring a Nokia IP Cluster, do not set the primary or secondary interfacesto Network Objective Private. <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> recommends setting a Nokia IP Cluster’sprimary interface to Network Objective Cluster, and its secondary interface toNetwork Objective Cluster or Sync.Platform Specific — Solaris46. When configuring virtual interfaces on Solaris GigaSwift interfaces, the ClusterXLproduct may not recognize the virtual interfaces in cases where no correspondingphysical interface is defined. If the virtual interface is not recognized, it will notrun a monitoring mechanism and eventually it will not perform failover. In order tomake ClusterXL work properly on such virtual interfaces, the corresponding physicalinterface must be defined. For example, when a CE device with an instance of 0 isdefined on the system, the /etc/hostname.ce0 file must be created and mustcontain some arbitrary IP address that will be assigned to the physical interface.47. ClusterXL does not support defining VLANs on Solaris bge interfaces.48. When configuring VLAN tags, set the IP address on the VLAN physical interface. Ifthe physical (untagged) interface is not used, the IP address can be any IP address.For example:If the physical interface is ce1, andthe VLAN interfaces are ce1001 and ce2001, thence1 must also have an IP address.49. ClusterXL in Unicast mode (Pivot) is not supported on Solaris when using VLANtagging.50. When using a Fujitsu GigEthernet NIC (fjgi and fjge interfaces) with <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong>Load Sharing (CPLS) multicast, packets can be received when the interface is setto promiscuous mode only.51. The local.arp file is not supported on ClusterXL gateways running Solaris. In orderto use manual NAT on Solaris, use the following workaround:On the command line, run the following command:arp -s pubFor this command to survive boot, add a file under /etc/rc3.d/ (the name does notmatter), and on each line enter an IP address to be NATed and its correspondingMAC address.arp -s pubarp -s pubetc...Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 42


ClusterXLSave the file and chmod 777.Platform Specific — Windows52. On Windows platforms, when switching from High Availability Legacy to HighAvailability New Mode or Load Sharing, the CCP transport mode is set to broadcastinstead of multicast. A workaround is to toggle the CCP mode via the followingcommand on each cluster member: cphaconf set_ccp multicast.53. Disabling a network connection (interface) is not supported on ClusterXL gatewayson Windows platforms. A workaround is to:1. Disconnect the network cable.2. Wait 15 seconds and then set the network connection as disabled.3. Reconnect the network cable after another 15 seconds.If required to enable this interface again, do the following:1. Disconnect the network cable.2. Wait 15 seconds and set the network connection as enabled.3. Reconnect the network cable after another 15 seconds.Services54. When using T.120 connections, make sure you manually add a rule that allowsT.120 connections.ISP Redundancy55. In a ClusterXL ISP Redundancy configuration, the names of the external interfacesof all cluster members must be identical and must correspond in turn to the namesof the external interfaces of the cluster object. For example, if the cluster objecthas two external interfaces called eth0 and eth1 which are connected to ISP-1 andISP-2, respectively; each cluster member must have two external interfaces calledeth0 and eth1 which should be connected to ISP-1 and ISP-2 respectively.Policy Installation56. When installing policy on a cluster with a Layer 2 bridge defined, the installationmay fail with the following error: Load on Module failed. To resolve this issue, do thefollowing:1. Set the environment variable FW_MANAGE_BRIDGE to 1 on the SmartCenter server.This is done by updating the files $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.csh andCPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh so that they include the environment variableFW_MANAGE_BRIDGE 1.Enterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 43


ClusterXL2. Install policy.Unsupported Features57. Cluster deployments automatically hide the IP address of the cluster membersbehind a virtual IP address. If you manually add NAT rules that contradict thisconfiguration, the manually added NAT rules take precedence. For details, see the“ClusterXL Advanced Configuration” chapter of the ClusterXL Guide.58. TCP connections inspected by Web Intelligence or VoIP Application Intelligencefeatures will not survive failover. On the event of failover these connections will bereset.59. The compatibility matrix for third party clustering solutions (other than Nokia) isspecified in the following link:http://www.opsec.com/solutions/perf_ha_load_balancing.html. If a certain thirdparty solution is not specifically written as being supported for this release, youmust assume it is currently not supported. For Nokia clustering (VRRP or IPClustering), see the <strong>Check</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Software and Hardware Compatibility section of theClusterXL guide for information regarding which IPSO release is supported with thisVPN-1 release.60. Mounting an NFS drive on a cluster member is not supported, as hide NAT changesthe IP address of the cluster member, and the server cannot resolve the resultingmismatch.61.

SSL Network Extender7. To install SSL Network Extender, Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) version 2.0must be installed on the client computer. While most Windows installations includeMSI 2.0, if it is not installed, it can be freely downloaded from Microsoft's website.Gateway Limitations8. If Secure Configuration Verification (SCV) is enabled in Global Properties, and youare working in a Simplified Mode Security Policy, packets from the SSL NetworkExtender will not be transferred.9. The Unique by Machine option, located in the Office Mode tab, is currently notsupported when Office Mode uses DHCP to allocate IP addresses. Enabling thisoption may lead to SSL Network Extender receiving different IP addresses whenconnecting from the same machine, or the same IP address when connecting fromdifferent machines.10. SSL Network Extender licenses are now installed on the management module, andnot on the enforcement modules as they were in R55. After installing the license onthe management module, activate the license by installing policy on allenforcement modules to which the clients will connect. Note that SSL NetworkExtender licenses installed on R55 modules must be retained after the upgrade, asthe management license does not apply to these modules.11. At present, the ICS Dynamic Upgrade feature is not supported.12. Under certain circumstances, the vpnd may not bind to the port designated as theVisitor Mode port, which will cause the SSL Network Extender not to work.

After installing Integrity server, the services Tomcat (ISTC) and Apache (ISAP) mayreport being down. This can be safely ignored.Notes on Instant Messenger (IM) SecurityWhen using this version of Integrity IM Security, please note the following:2. To apply Integrity IM Security to IM clients that use HTTP tunneling, you mustconfigure a proxy server for HTTP tunneling.3. IM Security configuration options are available on a policy’s Messaging Settings tab.For more information, see the associated online help and the Integrity AdvancedServer Administrator Guide.4. Integrity does not support the use of an HTTP proxy server (for HTTP tunneling)with Trillian or Miranda.5. If you are using Yahoo or MSN protocol, you cannot block audio sessions, videosessions, or file transfers independently.To block any of these types of communication, you must block all three. Similarly,to block the transfer of any file type, you must block all file types. These limitationsare due to recent changes in the Yahoo and MSN protocols.Yahoo IM and MSN Messenger have recently introduced an additional peer-to-peerprotocol for bandwidth-intensive communications, such as audio sessions, videosessions, and file transfers. Whenever a user establishes an audio or video sessionor transfers a file, the IM client establishes a peer-to-peer session to accommodatethe communication. This session remains active after the communication iscomplete, meaning that it accommodates all subsequent requests for audio/videosessions and file transfers. Integrity IM Security parses the IM protocol andprevents peer-to-peer sessions for blocked communications. However, if you allowEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 51

Integrity Agent does not support the Anti-Spyware Action setting ConfirmIntegrityWhen creating a policy to be used with Integrity Agent clients, Anti-Spyware Actionsettings must be set to either Notify or Automatic. Integrity Agent does not supportthe Action setting Confirm, because there is no way for the user to confirm throughthe UI.21. If IAS is configured to use a case-sensitive SQL database, some users must log inwith case-sensitive user namesIf Integrity Advanced Server is configured to use an SQL database that iscase-sensitive, Integrity treats all user names in an imported Windows 2000 orWindows NT domain as case-sensitive. If you assign a policy directly to anindividual user within such a domain (as opposed to assigning a policy to thedomain or group to which the user belongs), and if the user then logs into theendpoint without observing case sensitivity, Integrity will not recognize the username and will therefore not enforce the policy assigned directly to that user. Sucha user will receive the default policy instead. To avoid this problem, administratorswho have configured a case-sensitive SQL database and have assigned policiesdirectly to certain users (who were imported as part of one of the relevant domaintypes) must give each such user the case-sensitive version of his or her user nameand require him or her to log in with that version.22. Adding a local policy to a client package causes Integrity to ignore somepackage-level settingsIf you add a local policy to a client package, Integrity ignores the following packagesettings: Launch Client Minimized, System Tray Icon, and System Tray Menu. Inaddition, policy settings override the package-level setting for the Client Shutdownoption.23. Custom support links in a personal policy always override those in the enterprisepolicyIf an enterprise policy and a personal policy both specify a custom support link (intheir respective client settings sections), the Integrity client always shows the linkspecified in the personal policy and ignores the link specified in the enterprisepolicy, even if you select Enforce enterprise policies only in the enterprise policy'sclient settings.24.

SNMP trap messages in hex codeSNMP traps sent from the Integrity Advanced Server are logged to /var/log/messagesfile but the messages are in hex codes.A workaround is to enable SYSLOG and SNMP traps in Linux by issuing thefollowing commands:syslogd -h -r -m 0 (to enable syslog with remote option)snmptrapd -Oa (to enable snmptrapd and route the output to syslog)26. Limitations when importing groupsInternet Explorer (6.x) limits to 3000 the number of groups you can import into anNTDomain, LDAP, or RADIUS catalog on Integrity Advanced Server. To import morethan 3000 groups, use another of the supported browsers. Mozilla Firefox is theonly compatible browser that accommodates imports of more than 10,000 groups.Note that, for very large imports, the import page may take up to ten minutes todisplay all imported groups.When importing groups with a browser other than Internet Explorer, users may get awarning asking whether to abort the long-running javascript routine. Users shouldclose the dialog box or choose to continue running javascript. For Firefox, you cansuppress this message by typing about:config in the address bar, finding the entryfor dom.max_script_run_time, and setting the number to 60 (on new computers) or120 (on older computers).27.

NNTP is not supported by Malicious Code ProtectionEnterprise Suite NGX R61 Known Limitations Supplement Last Update — February 7, 2007 56


IntegrityIntegrity clients that receive policies where this protocol is selected in theSmartDefense policy tab will no longer observe or protect against malicious codethat subverts NNTP port 119.38. Licensing issuesIntegrity SecureClient is designed to be licensed through the SecureClient license.SecureClient is licensed on the server but SecureClient also inserts an item in thedesktop's registry once it connects to a Policy Server that has a license. TheIntegrity client checks for this registry setting to determine if it is also licensed. Ifthe SecureClient has multiple sites that it is connecting to, it only has to connectto one site to be licensed.In order to license the Integrity client, SecureClient has to connect to the VPNPolicy Server within the Integrity client's 30 day trial period. If the user does notconnect to the VPN Policy Server before the end of the trial period, then theIntegrity client will prompt the user to enter in a license key.If the Integrity Client is packaged with a license, it will use that license instead ofchecking the registry setting. Customers who buy an Integrity SecureClient licensebut want to deploy Integrity on an internal machine that does not haveSecureClient, need to request an Integrity license. When entering the license key,be sure to remove the hyphens.If, after installing the license on the gateway, SecureClient and Integrity Client donot operate beyond the trial period, you will need to install an update to theCPmacro. This update file is available athttp://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/index.html.39. Migrating from 5.xIf you wish to migrate data to a 6.x installation, you must have a version of IntegrityServer that is 5.1 or later but before 6.0. This version limitation applies both to theServer migration and the Integrity clients. Please also note that the Integrity Clientversion and the Integrity Server version must match. Using a server with a differentversion than the client is not supported. For more information about migratingServer information and re-distributing the new client to endpoint users, see theIntegrity Advanced Server Installation Guide.40.
