UDP port 8116 broadcast packets are transmitted to all cluster interfaces, when 
State Synchronization is enabled.   
 
 
 Cause 
  
UDP 8116 broadcast are necessary for cluster-status health checks, when a Check 
Point ClusterXL clustering solution is implemented. Third-party OPSEC 
clustering solutions conduct their own cluster-status health checks, despite 
State Synchronization interfaces. 
 
 
 Solution 
  
To stop UDP 8116 broadcast packets on all interfaces, except State 
Synchronization interfaces, apply the steps below. 

Caution:

Interface monitoring will not be possible, once the steps are completed.

Procedure: 


Type at prompt: cphastop


Type: cphaconf -R 1 start
(Ignore the error message about no configuration or no license. High 
Availability (HA) is stopped.) 


Type: cphastart.

The above steps do not survive reboot. To survive reboot, add the steps to an 
operating-system startup script.


Regards,
Torkel

It appears that the "new" - "requires tech support contract" is required for 
this SK.  I am just a lowly CheckPoint instructor who would like to have the 
knowledge and no need for a tech support contract.  Could someone provide me 
with the information or possibly a copy of sk23208.

Thanks
