characters except the underscore.
VSX Cluster IP Address: Management interface IP address.
VSX Cluster Version: VSX version to use for this cluster.
VSX Cluster Platform: Platform type hosting the cluster members.
To create a HA cluster, select Check Point SecurePlatform (ClusterXL) from the list
To create a Load Sharing (VSLS) cluster, Check Point ClusterXL Virtual System Load Sharing
select from the list.
Note - All cluster members must use the type of platform, with the
same specifications and configuration.
Selecting Creation Templates
The Virtual Systems Creation Templates allows you to select a Virtual System Creation Template that
automatically applies predefined, default topology and routing definitions to Virtual Systems when they are
first created. This feature ensures consistency among Virtual Systems and speeds up the provisioning
process.
