6.Repeat this procedure on each of the other nodes that you upgraded from IPSO 3.6. You can now manage the cluster using Cluster Voyager or the CCLI.

Creating and Configuring a Cluster

Configuration Overview

To create and configure a cluster

1.Create a cluster on the first node.

2.Select the cluster mode.

3.Configure the cluster interfaces.

4.Enable or disable firewall monitoring, as appropriate:

„If NGX is running on the node, enable NGX monitoring before you make the cluster active.

„If NGX is not running on the node, disable NGX monitoring before you make the cluster active (so that the cluster can be initialized). After the cluster is active, enable the monitoring so that the cluster monitors the firewall and leaves the cluster if the firewall fails on the node.

5.Deselect any features that should not be cluster sharable.

6.Change the cluster state to up.

7.Save the cluster configuration to disk.

8.If you disabled firewall monitoring in step 4, re-enable it.

9.Create cluster configurations on the other nodes.

10.Join the other nodes to the cluster.

The failure interval and performance rating are set by default on each node and generally should not be changed. See “Configuring the Failure Interval”and “Configuring the Performance Rating”for more information about these features.

You must also configure the NGX to work with the IPSO cluster. Use the Check Point client application to add a gateway object for the Nokia appliance. You also must create a gateway cluster object and add the gateway object to it. Refer to the Check Point documentation and “Configuring NGX for Clustering” for details.

Creating a Cluster

1.Click High Availability in the navigation tree.

2.Click Clustering.

3.Enter a cluster ID (0-65535).
