This is particularly important after we have performed an upgrade between major versions (such as 4.1 to NG). We will test GUI client access as well as defining and installing a basic policy. For the sake of completeness, we will test both the pushing and fetching of our security policy.
Testing GUI client access
After you have the Check Point packages installed, enabled, and configured, you can begin configuring a security policy for your Nokia firewall. Even if the InitialPolicy is loaded, you should be able to connect with a GUI client and push a policy. If you have any trouble with this process, unload the default filter with fw unloadlocal (prior to NG FP2 the command was fw unload localhost).
