Configuring Check Point IPSO for IP2450 ADP Interfaces

This section includes information about configuring Check Point IPSO to use the interfaces on a
Check Point ADP module. To help you understand the implications of installing an ADP
module, it provides an example of the steps you might perform to install an ADP module in an
IP2450 appliance running the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).

Effect on Interfaces

When you install ADP modules, Check Point IPSO automatically creates interface names for the
ADP interfaces and changes the existing interface names and configuration information, as
described below:
If you install an ADP module in an IP2450 appliance, the names and configuration
information for all the interfaces previously installed in an affected slot become invalid.
These changes can affect any features or protocols that use the existing interfaces or their
addresses, including the following:
Dynamic routing protocols
Multicast routing protocols
Static routing configuration
VRRP
IP clustering
Transparent mode
Link aggregation
Link redundancy
Traffic management/QoS
Note
After you install an ADP module, reconfigure any protocols and features that used the
removed interfaces to use the ADP interfaces. Reassign IP addresses from the removed
interfaces to the ADP interfaces as appropriate.

Check Point ADP Module Interface Names for IP2450 Appliances

ADP module interface naming conventions differ from those for PMC NICs
The twelve ports on your ADP module are named as follows:
For slot 1:
eth-s1p1, eth-s1p2, eth-s1p3, eth-s1p4, eth-s1p5, eth-s1p6, eth-s1p7, eth-s1p8, eth-s1p9, eth-
s1p10, eth-s1p11, eth-s1p12
For slot 2:
