Event Logging API
The Nortel Switched Firewall Event Logging API (ELA) is an OPSEC application that allows
system log messages to be sent to a Check Point management station for display through the
Check Point SmartView Tracker. Log messages are transported to the Check Point
SmartCenter Server through a secure, encrypted channel.
For information about configuring and administering OPSEC applications in Check Point,
refer to your complete Check Point Firewall-1 NGX documentation.
ELA configuration requires steps at both the Check Point SmartCenter Server and at the Nortel
Switched Firewall. For each Firewall, you must create a new OPSEC application at the Check
Point SmartCenter Server, and initialize Secure Internal Communication (SIC). For each
Firewall, the certificate associated with the SIC must be pulled to the Firewall before the ELA
will operate.
This Appendix provides the steps required to use ELA.
