OSI layer in short with example

7. Application layer-Responsible for initiating or services the request.
e.g SMTP, DNS, HTTP, and Telnet

6. Presentation layer-Formats the information so that it is understood by the receiving system
e.g Compression and encryption depending on the implementation

5. Session layer– Responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating the session
e.g NetBIOS

4. Transport layer-Breaks information into segments and is responsible for connection and connectionless communication

e.g TCP and UDP
3. Network layer-Responsible for logical addressing and routing
e.g IP, ICMP, ARP, RIP, IGRP, and routers

2. Data Link layer- Responsible for physical addressing, error correction, and preparing the information for the media
e.g MAC address, CSMA/CD, switches, and bridges

1. Physical layer-Deals with the electrical signal
e.g Cables, connectors, hubs, and repeaters

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80 Unable to Connect to Server A connection to the management server will fail if: A firewall between SmartConsole and the management server blocks Port 19009 - port 19009 is used for a new R80 service. Allow traffic on this port for all clients and management servers. No GUI clients are assigned - Open the Gaia Portal. If the First Time Configuration Wizard opens, complete it. If the First Time Configuration Wizard has already run, open User Management > GUI Clients and add a client. When using Multi-Domain Security Management, connect SmartConsole to the Multi-Domain Server and make sure the domains have GUI clients assigned to them. The required processes are not reachable - Make sure the computer with SmartConsole installed can reach the IP address of the management server, and that these server processes are up and running: cpm fwm Operation time out – Your connection ...

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT Symptoms After creating a Manual Static NAT rule, Security Gateway does not answer the ARP Requests for the Static NATed IP address that was configured in the Manual NAT rule. Security Gateway replies to ARP requests with a wrong MAC address, mostly for the NAT traffic. Introduction Let us consider the following scenario: Two networks ( Network_A and Network_B ) are separated by a Security Gateway (single Security Gateway or ClusterXL). On each network, there is a host ( Host_A on Network_A , Host_B on Network_B ). Let us assume, that Network_A represents the Internal network, and Network_B represents the External network. According to the existing standards, when Host_B needs to send data to Host_A , an ARP Request for the MAC address of Host_A will be sent by Host_B to Network...
