Hello,

I just went through this.

You define the encryption properties at the Community level - I used Meshed 
communities.  You'll notice there's no option there to set the timeouts based 
on number of KB's but Checkpoint will ignore any sent by Cisco.

You define the externally managed Cisco as an "Interoperable Device" and assign 
it an encryption domain.  You'll need to know what hosts or networks they need 
to use.

In regards to NAT.  In the "VPN Advanced" settings  you see a checkbox for 
"Disable NAT in the VPN Community" leave this unchecked if you want to 
translate your internal Addresses for the VPN connection.

Also, under "Tunnel Management" select the "Tunnel per host pair" option (that 
wording may be slightly different).

Subject: [FW-1] NGX VPNs

Hi Folks,

I need to create a VPN between our CheckPoint firewall and an
externally managed Cisco router.

Our current infrastructure is NGX management console and NG AI firewall.

I remember back in the early NG days, there was an Action called
encrypt, where you would specify the peer and encryption properties
per rule.

That now seems to be done using communities?  How would I setup the
object for this external router, and define it's encryption realm?

Also on my end, we want to NAT the traffic before we send it through
the tunnel.  Is that just a regular NAT rule, and the firewall knows
to do the NAT first, before it creates the VPN?

Thanks
Shane
