Configuring VSX
Check Point VSX Administration Guide NGX R67 | 60
Working with Interface Definitions
All VSX gateways and Virtual Routers and Virtual Switches contain at least one interface definition.
Typically, you define the interfaces during the process of configuring the topology for a given object. Warp
interfaces, however, are created automatically based on virtual device definitions and their topology. You
cannot modify or delete a Warp interface.
Adding a New Interface
The procedure and options for defining an interface vary according to the object and the network topology.
Please note that some properties and pages are not available for certain interface definitions.
To add a new interface:
1. On the Topology page, click Add.
2. If a connection options list appears as shown below, choose the desired connection for this interface.
3. The Interface Properties window opens. Configure the appropriate properties as described in the
following sections.
Configuring Connection Properties - General
The General tab defines the network connections associated with an interface.
One or more of the following properties may appear depending upon the context.
 Interface: Select a physical interface from the list (physical interfaces only).
 VLAN Tag: VLAN tag associated with the defined interface.
 IP Address and Net Mask: IP address and net mask of the device associated with the interface.
 Propagate route to adjacent Virtual Devices: Enable to "advertise" the associated device to
neighboring devices, thereby enabling connectivity between them. The Route Propagation section (See
"Route Propagation" on page 28) provides additional details.
 MTU: Maximum transmission unit size in bytes (default = 1,500).
