How to make 2 Management Server CheckPoint in ClusterXL?

Question

firewall

Hello, tell me please, the situation is this:
I have two pieces of iron, CheckPoint Firewall Gateway 2200
On each raised the Management Server and ticked the Firewall checkbox.
When creating a High Availability cluster from these two managements, in the SmartDashboard (GUI) console, I see only the icons of the management, they are linked together, checked, and switched correctly.
Question - how to make ClusterXL out of this miracle-yuda? After all, I don't have Firewall icons.

Answer 1

There will be no separate firewall icons in this case, since it is essentially one 2200 Appliance object with several software modules (Software Blades) enabled.
In SmartDashboard, right-click on the object tree, select New -> Check Point -> Security Cluster -> Check Point Appliance/Open Server, select Wizard Mode (more friendly for beginners) or Classic Mode (I like it better).
Enter the cluster name, main IP address, select ClusterXL and High Availability or Load Sharing mode (HA is preferable in this case). Next, you need to add Cluster Members: Add -> Add Existing gateway.
Then you need to add cluster interfaces, do not forget about Topology in the interface settings.
