Recently received two Check Point 5600 appliance which has R77.30 pre-installed. I have racked them into data center. Both will be used as a cluster to replace existing Check Point UTM devices. It comes with one Sync port, one Mgmt port and eight 10/100/1000base-T ports. Here comes with the picture after console, mgmt and sync ports connected.
