Re: Smartdefense Update Problems

That is because of the extra load that is created by smartdefense while it inspects all the HTTP packets. And I know a lot of internet traffic must be passing that firewall.

I agree and also check the packet size that is being allowewd through
your fire wall as the update could have aloud larger headers through
witch could be causing your firewall to "be behaving funny', what i
exacly hapening and have you checked youer logs?

I had 2 firewall problems in the past 3 months.  New system built with Solaris 9/NGXR61 and I had my whole system panic.  After 3 MONTHS I got a reply from Checkpoint that it was something in SmartDefense that caused the panic and they would have worked with me if the system was live - yeah....  I had put my old system back online in the meantime NGR55 and after doing a Smartdefense update had my system begin to reboot intermittently.  That was 6 weeks ago and I've since rebuilt the other system and put it back online with NGR55.  When I asked if I could rollback SmartDefense - response - you can't rollback SD.  So...what you can do is play around with the SD choices to find out which one is really affecting your cpu performance.  I'd take a look at MS-RPC over CIFS because I had cpu issues with that one before.  Good luck!
