1 Configure an IPSec Tunnel between a Firebox Vclass & a Check Point FireWall-1 This document describes how to configure an IPSec tunnel between a WatchGuard Firebox Vclass appliance (Vcontroller version 3.2) and a Check Point FireWall-1 running the Next Generation (NG) FP2 software version. The following diagram illustrates the machines and addresses involved in the connection. The examples used in this document are taken from this set-up.

2 NOTE Any third-party appliances between the either the Firebox Vclass and the FireWall-1 appliances (the tunnel end-points) such as a router must be configured to allow IPSec traffic specifically, UDP port 500 and IP protocols 50 and 51. Further, a third-party appliance must not perform NAT on either tunnel end-point. You should contact your ISP to ensure that these requirements are met before configuring your IPSec tunnel. Configure the Firebox Vclass Appliance for an IPSec Tunnel This procedure describes how to configure the Firebox Vclass appliance to create an IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel to a FireWall-1. Creating an IKE policy In this section, you configure the Phase 1 settings on the Firebox Vclass appliance. This portion of the configuration is analogous to the Gateways window in the WatchGuard Policy Manager. 1 Connect to the Firebox Vclass appliance with the WatchGuard Vcontroller application. The Vcontroller Main Configuration Page appears. 2 IPSec Tunnel between a Firebox Vclass & a Check Point FireWall-1
