What is VSX firewall?
VSX (Virtual System Extension) is a security and VPN solution for large-scale environments based on the proven security of Check Point Security Gateway. VSX provides comprehensive protection for multiple networks or VLANs within complex infrastructures.
What is CoreXL and SecureXL?
CoreXL: Technology that makes use of multiple processor cores. SecureXL: Connection acceleration technology (both throughput and connection establishment)
What is VSX Aruba?
Aruba’s Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) is designed from the ground up to deliver the availability, virtualization, and simplicity required at these mission-critical layers of the network.
What is Cluster XL?
ClusterXL is a Check Point software-based cluster solution for Security Gateway redundancy and Load Sharing. A ClusterXL Security Cluster contains identical Check Point Security Gateways.
What is Aruba VSX and VSF?
you have to consider that VSF works with shared (unified) control, routing and switching planes approach across the two chassis (case of two Aruba 5400R zl2 in v3 only mode, active/standby model) while VSX works with a separated but synched planes where both chassis are active at the very same time.
What is VSX sync?
vsx-sync {[active-gateways] [policies]} Enables VSX sync of active gateways or policies associated under an interface. To synchronize the associations, you must configure the same interface vlan on the peer switch.
What is a check point cluster?
A ClusterXL Security Cluster contains identical Check Point Security Gateways. A High Availability Security Cluster ensures Security Gateway and VPN connection redundancy by providing transparent failover to a backup Security Gateway in the event of failure.
What is VSX in Aruba?
What is VSF stacking?
The VSF feature allows the user to form a stack of up to four devices of any SKU, including mixing the SKUs in a single stack. The switches in these stacks are interconnected using standard Ethernet connections. These interconnections between member switches are called VSF links.
What is VSX active forwarding?
Active forwarding is an optimization for layer 3 unicast traffic flowing from the upstream (core) to the downstream (access) through the VSX peers (aggregate). Active forwarding prevents the bridged traffic from switching over the ISL. It also minimizes latency and the ISL bandwidth.
What is active gateway in VSX?
The active gateway feature is used to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. An active gateway improves the reliability and performance of the host network by enabling a virtual router to act as the default gateway for that network.
How does ClusterXL Check Point work?
ClusterXL uses virtual IP addresses for the cluster itself and unique physical IP and MAC addresses for the Cluster Members. Virtual IP addresses do not belong to physical interfaces. Virtual System Extension.
