Hi,

A reason could be that your switches can not handle multicast pakets. You have 
to switch this to broadcast.

Please have a lot at the clusterxl.pdf of checkpoint and you will find 
following statement:

'cphaconf set_ccp broadcast/multicast'

Betreff: [FW-1] Cluster node goes "disconnected"


Hi there,

I have an NG AI cluster with two firewalls. Each is Solaris 8.  They run High 
Availability, New Mode.

Several times a day (4-6) I get an alert that the primary node has become 
"disconnected".  Specifically I have the SmartCenter Server set to alert me for 
disconnects, so I get an e-mail:

28Jul2004  9:15:20        192.168.1.1 <    useralert product: System
Monitor; System Alert message: myfw1 is disconnected; Object:
10.1.1.1; Event: Exception; Parameter: Status connection; Condition: is not 
connected; Current value: disconnected;

(Name/IPs changed)

Now, I'm wondering a few things...
Did this cause a failover from the primary to the secondary.  Any way I can 
tell when that shifts from node1 to node2?

What caused the disconnection?  It is only node1 that this happens to.  And 
node1 and node2 are configured identically.  But node1 is the primary handling 
all the traffic.  But CPU and memory all look normal.  This even happens at 
night during low use.

It tends to remain disconnected for 10-30 seconds, then I see in SmartView 
Tracker, a log that it gets reconnected.

Any help would be appreciated,
Shane
