Welcome to lesson 6. Today we will finally work with the famous Check Point GUI. Something that most people love Check Point for, and some people hate. If you remember the last lesson, then there I said that security settings can be controlled either through SmartConsole, or through a special API that appeared only in the R80 version. In this lesson we Let's get started with SmartConsole. Sorry, but the API topic is dropping out of our course
It was
I would like to note how much the R80 interface has changed compared to previous releases. It is quite simple to do this, because. the difference is simply enormous. Here you see the R77.30 interface:
It is called by the way SmartDashboard, not SmartConsole. And it is quite similar even to the oldest releases like R65 and even younger. Those. The interface for managing security policies has remained virtually unchanged, neither outwardly nor logically, for many years. But everything changed dramatically with the advent of the R80 family.
It became
Visual difference on the face. The interface has become more modern, beautiful, but this is not the most important thing. In the R80, the logic of the console has changed radically. For example, it was very difficult for me to switch to a new console. However, after working with it, I realized that it is even nothing) In my subjective opinion, working in the R80 console is much more convenient than in R77.30. But, it's more of a matter of habit. Many still spit on the new interface.
I don’t see the point in talking about the console in the pictures, let’s better look at it “live”. Below you will find a video tutorial demonstrating the interface. For one thing, we will connect the gateway to our management server.
