Management Type
Set how the appliance is managed in the Management Type page.
 Locally Managed Deployment: The appliance is a Security Gateway and a Security
Management server. The Security Management server manages the Security Policy that is
enforced by the Security Gateway.
 Centrally Managed Deployment: The appliance is a Security Gateway, without a Security
Management server. The Security Gateway is managed by a remote Security Management
server.
Locally Managed Deployment
This section describes how to configure the appliance for locally managed deployment.
Check Point Cluster
Configure the cluster type. If you select This appliance is part of a Check Point 4000
Appliances Cluster, the options are:
 Primary cluster member
 Secondary cluster member
For information about clusters, see the ClusterXL Administration Guide
(http://supportcenter.checkpoint.com) for your Check Point version.
Web/SSH and GUI Clients Configuration
Define the clients that are allowed to connect to the appliance using a web browser or SSH
client. These clients can manage the appliance using a web or SSH connection.
You can define a Host according to Hostname or IP address. Enter a comma-separated list of
IP addresses from which you manage the appliance. Enter Any to manage the appliance from
anywhere.
Note - Do not use the Any value for security reasons.
After you complete the First Time Configuration Wizard, more options are available using the
WebUI menu.
SIC Setup
Configure the SIC (Secure Internal Communication) settings for a Centrally Managed
appliance. Enter a SIC Activation Key. The same key is used by the gateway object in
SmartDashboard.
