Initial setup
This chapter describes how to perform initial setup for a single Firewall configuration. A basic
configuration is performed on a Nortel Switched Firewall that allows remote access by Telnet
or SMART Client. Then the Check Point management tools are installed on a workstation.
The information in this chapter is based on the assumption that you installed the Nortel
Switched Firewall Series 5100 hardware as described in the
Nortel Switched Firewall 5100
Series Hardware Installation Guide
(216382-D), including mounting the components,
attaching network cables, turning on power, and connecting a console terminal.
The following topics are discussed in this chapter:
Basic requirements on page 30
Example network on page 31
Setting up the basic configuration on page 37
Allowing SMART Client access to the Firewall on page 47
Editing the Windows hosts file on page 48
Installing Check Point management tools on page 48

VLAN tagging allows the Switched Firewall to forward VLAN tagged packets to the
appropriate workgroup.
