Liran is right,
but you can create VLAN interface and then use physical one for SYNC
and VLAN one for management.

Hi Julian,
It is possible to use the sync interfaces for the management network,
but you cannot have the sync\management interface be clustered. The sync
interface on all cluster members must not be clustered. I have done this
several times on NG AI R55.

Hi Firewall list,
Does anybody know if it is possible to use a cluster interface as part
of the management network?
See my situation:
Two firewalls Checkpoint NG AI R55 that have the next networks:
1) 192.168.1.0/24 --> clustered network - outside
2) 192.168.2.0/24 ---> clustered network - dmz
3) 10.20.0.0/16 --> clustered network - internal
4) 172.16.0.0/24 --> sync network for clusterxl
The problem:
I have two clusters (two firewall each one) that both are managed from
the internal network (10.20.0.0/16). One seems to be working, but when
i tried to install the second cluster and install a new Management
Server, the cluster doesnt synchronize at all and the management
server can not install the policy.
When the internal network (10.20.0.0/16) is not clustered, the
clusterxl works and the management can install policy.
Also, if the network is clustered i can`t ping the sync interfaces
I understand that the virtual IP doesnt permit to ping the real IP
address, and maybe it stops the clustering, but i wonder if anybody
have a solution to this issue.
Remember i need to manage the cluster from the internal network
(clustered) where the management server is connected.
Best Regards,
-Julian
