Checkpoint does not route.  Its a firewall and its only routing function is 
over vpn tunnels.  If you want bgp or ospf or any other protocol and are not 
running a nokia, check out quagga/zebra.  www.quagga.org or www.zebra.org. (Its 
the same thing, but the project forked.  Quagga is more recent and has some 
enhancments that zebra project hasn't/won't add.  If you are running on a *nix 
platform you can run this package to get ospf/bgp/rip/ripng/ospfv6/and mbgp.  
You can even get an IS-IS patch if you really wanted it.  Its a nice package 
that starts a daemon that listens on a port.  You telnet to the localhost on 
that port and you basically get a cisco console.  Command syntax and setup is 
identical to Cisco so if you know one you'll know this.  Zebra is also 
available as a commercial package called zebos, its the same zebra with alot of 
enhancements.  Or you can try to run routed but as it is a complete commercial 
package now, your not going to find any online documentation (or nothing worth 
anything).  They do sell a routing package though, but don't know if its any 
good.  If your running windows, then I don't know and can't find anything to 
help you there.  The only protocols I know of are ospf and rip under RRAS.  
 
Good luck
