Recently I deployed a Checkpoint Standalone installation in one of our customers. It was a HP DL360 G6 Server, with an additional interface card. The deployment was R70 (actually R70.30).
The first problem I encountered was that the network card was not recognized by SPLAT. Checking the NIC details, it was found that the card which was installed (NC375T) was not supported by SPLAT. Then it was replaced by a compatible card.
After the installation process, when I logged into the SmartDashBoard, the checkpoint object was created automatically. But when I tried to retrieve the interface configurations, all the interfaces were defined as External. There was no option to change it.
Before this implementation, I did a UMT-1 standalone installation with R65, this issue was not encountered.
The solution was not a magical thing. There was an option in the Dashboard itself. When you right-click the checkpoint object, there is an option to convert the object into a Gateway. When you convert it to a gateway, the normal firewall interface configurations can be carried out. :)
