Nokia Network Security Solutions Handbook

Preparing for the Configuration

Since the Nokia appliance is already hardened, there is very little you need to do to prepare it for firewall installation. You must configure and test networking and DNS and set up the Host Address Assignment through the Voyager GUI, and you might need to upgrade your IPSO and boot manager (see Chapter 5).

Ensure that you have the following ready before you begin configuring Check Point FireWall-1:

  • Get your Check Point licenses.

  • Configure routing and test network interface cards.

  • Ensure IP forwarding is enabled ( ipsofwd on admin).

  • Configure Host Address Assignment.

  • Ensure you have at least 128MB of memory and 40MB of free disk space on /opt.

  • Read the Release Notes.

  • Verify that your IPSO is compatible with VPN-1/FireWall-1 (see Table 6.1).
