All “true” clusters require that certain attributes are syncronised. So that in the event of a failover the newly promoted node can continue where the other node left off.<\/p>\n

In order to ensure that the State Tables of all your nodes within your Check Point Cluster are syncronised you will need to check the #VALS of your State Table summary on each node.<\/p>\n

Note : <\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You may find that these figures aren`t identical but this is just down to the delay\/latancy in which occurs between State Syncronisations. You should only be concerned if the values are hunreds or even thousands out.<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. The best way to view the State Table summaries (on SPLAT based firewalls) is to run the command watch ‘<\/span><\/strong><\/em>fw tab -t connections -s’<\/span><\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Below is based on a R65 ClusterXL HA Cluster.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Steps <\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Check the State Tables on both nodes, checking for the #VAL totals.<\/p>\n

    [Expert@fw1]#<\/a> fw tab -t connections -s
    HOST                  NAME                               ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
    localhost             connections                      8158  3624 36074   14234

    [    Expert@fw2]#<\/a> fw tab -t connections -s
    HOST                  NAME                               ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
    localhost             connections                      8158  3632 36073   14242<\/pre>\n
    You can see here that the #VALS are fairly similar. With this we can safley say that the State Tables are syncronised. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
