"non eval licenses"?  What are you talking about? 
The 30 eval license is good
and it has all the features I need to test.  I have other
provder-1 NG R61 with
HFA_03 using the same license I do not have this issue. 
Furthermore, I am 
not seeing this issue in enforcement modules 2.4 kernel. 
can't be the license.

the Provider-1 and the CMA are residing on the SAME network
as the 
enforcement module.  There is NO routing issue.  You can
rule this out as a 
possible cause.

It seems like other are experiencing the same issue I have
with managing
2.6 kernel splat enforcement modules from a SmartCenter or
Provider-1 2.4 kernel.

First I would recommend you to setup non eval licenses, this
can be a good 
reason for your strange behaviour.
Related with the SIC issue, we have the following setup:

- 2 node NGX R65 Cluster ( Forwarding Mode / Static work
assignment ) with 
public IP addresses as the main ip's
- Smartcenter NGX R65 in a management network with default
gateway set to 
the clusters ip address in the management network.

We also have problems with the sic establishment and/or
maintenance if we 
let this setup without specific routes to the external
gateways ip through 
the gateways ip in the management network.
We solve this issue setting up two routes on the Smartcenter
server so 
that traffic to the external ip of each gateway gets routed
through the 
same gateway.

Example:

Cluster
        External IP 1.1.1.1 ( configured as  cluster main ip
in the 
smartcenter cluster setup )
        Internal IP 10.10.10.1
Node 1
        External IP 1.1.1.2 ( configured as node 1 main ip
in the 
smartcenter cluster setup )
        Internal IP 10.10.10.2
Node 2
        External IP 1.1.1.3 ( configured as node 2 main ip
in the 
smartcenter cluster setup )
        Internal IP 10.10.10.3

Smartcenter in internal network:
        IP: 10.10.10.4
        Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1
        Route 1.1.1.2 via 10.10.10.2
        Route 1.1.1.3 via 10.10.10.3


I always must set it up this way if I dont want to have
problems with the 
communication between the Smartcenter and the Enforcement
modules but I 
can not explain why it is this way, I think it is related to
local 
interface address spoofing. ¿ Does somebody else have this
same setup 
and/or behaviour ? ¿ Is this normal or I am missing
something ?

PS: I just remembered another case related with SIC problems
and it was 
due to that localhost was not defined locally on the
gateways in the 
/etc/hosts file ¿?
Regards !

[FW-1] Checkpoint SIC trouble.  Urgent help please!!!!






Have a situation:
 
 a pair of IBM 3650 dual quad-core processors 3.16 Ghz with
4GB RAM 
 running in ClusterXL Active/Active Unicast mode. The
Checkpoint 
 software is NGx R65 2.6 kernel
 
 This firewall pair is being managed by Provider-1 NGx R65
2.4 kernel
 with HFA_02 running on a Dell 2850 dual processors 3.06 Ghz
with 8GB RAM.
 
 Logs on the firewalls are being sent to a Provider-1 MLM
and a standalone 
CLM.
 Provider-1 is NGx R65 with HFA_02 on 2.4 kernel.  The
stand-alone CLM
 is NGx R65 2.6 kernel on a Dell 2950-III box.
 
 Everything is running checkpoint 30 days eval license.
 
 I have about 300 rules in the security policy. I pushed
policy to the 
 pair of firewalls.  Everything is working fine and I get no
errors when
 pushing policy to the firewall
 
 I have a couple of QoS rule in the QoS policy.  I see NO
errors when 
 pushing policy to the firewalls.
 
 At this point I start pushing about 900Mbps between the
Iperf 
client/server
 through the firewall.
 
 Here are two issues I have:
 
 1- In SmartView Monitor, it tells me that I hav NO QoS
policy installed
 on gw1 and gw2,
 
 2- After every two hours, I lose SIC either to the gw1 or
gw2 firewall.
 I verified this by performing "test SIC" in the
cluster members.  When
 I pushed policy to the firewall, it tells me that policy
push failed 
 either to gw1 or gw2 member.  The only way for me to fix is
to re-SIC
 and reboot the firewall and re-establish SIC with the
Provider-1 CMA.
 
Is this a bug in Checkpoint or something?  My setup is a
very simple one.
 
 Comment anyone?  Thanks.
