MDS I NSTALLATION AND C ONFIGURATION
...................................
The MDS consists of multiple CMAs installed on a single machine. Each CMA controls any number of VPN-1/FireWall-1 remote Enforcement Modules at a single customer site. Check Point Provider-1 NG with Application Intelligence includes MDS Manager and MDS Container components to support a growing customer base. The MDS Manager is the core component and is required for the first 200 customer CMAs. Additional MDS machines can be added, and up to 500 separate CMAs can be managed by each MDS in the Provider-1 NG configuration.

MDS INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Choosing the Type of MDS

CHOOSING THE TYPE OF MDS

..................................................
The Multi Domain Server (MDS) contains separate file structures for each CMA. Customer specific information is kept separated in independent CMA databases to offer greater security and data integrity. Each CMAs rules, objects, and users reside in the CMA database and are not shared. The following directories remain private and separated by CMA:

conf database state


The MDS shares the VPN-1/FireWall-1 management functions. In this way, the CMA data is separated, but shares the same soft linked Management Server functions such as binary executables and INSPECT files. Every Provider-1 configuration must include an MDS Manager. The GUI connects to the MDS Manager to access the CMAs. Additional MDS machines can be added to the configuration as needed. There are two different types of Multi Domain Servers: MDS Container MDS Manager The MDS Container can maintain up to 500 separate CMAs and perform Security Policy management functions. The MDS Manager can perform tasks such as file synchronization for backup capabilities and acts as the Certificate Authority for the Provider-1 system at the NOC. The scalable architecture of Provider-1 allows MSPs to accommodate a growing customer base. In every scenario, both an MDS Manager and MDS Container are necessary. These two components can be on the same machine.

MDS INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

Choosing the Type of MDS

Mu l ti D o ma in S er v e r - Ma n ag e r
The MDS Manager is the central point of entry for the CMAs. The MDG can only access the MDS Manager. The Manager is a Certificate Authority for the Provider-1 NG configuration and, if multiple MDS Managers exist, establishes High Availability between them. High Availability (HA) is possible even if the additional Manager machine is located at a remote location. No CMAs are loaded on the MDS Manager. Only the MDS Container can maintain the CMAs. If the MDS Manager is installed as the only MDS in the configuration, both the Manager and Container functions can be installed and run on one machine.

Mu l ti D o ma in S er v e r - C o nt a in e r
The less-expensive MDS Container maintains the customer CMAs. Capable of maintaining up to 500 CMAs, the Container machine is an alternative for Administrators who want to increase their Provider-1 capabilities without dramatically increasing cost. The Container machine cannot function as a Certificate Authority for Provider-1 components or establish High Availability for CMAs. The Container machine can be used as an additional MDS to increase customer capacity and for backup capabilities.

M u l ti D o m a in S er v e r a s M u lt i D o m a in L o g M od u l e
The MDS can also be licensed to function as a Multi Domain Log Module (MLM). The MLM separates the logs of each CMA into different databases. The MLM is configured with a CLM for each Customer CMA. Unlike the CMAs loaded on an MDS, CLMs configured on the MLM do not require a separate license. No more than 200 CLMs can be loaded on one MDS MLM.

L ic e n si n g t he M u lt i D om ai n S e r ve r
The MDS can be licensed in a number of different ways, depending on the MSPs Provider-1 configuration. The MDS can be licensed as either a Manager, a Container, or both.

CMA Management

CMA MANAGEMENT

..................................................
Each Customer Management Add-on is loaded on the MDS and functions as a Check Point Management Server. Each CMA manages a single customers network and requires a dedicated CMA license. CMAs can be licensed as a single server or as a mirror server for HA configurations.

L ic e n s in g t h e C u s to m e r M a n a g em en t A d d -o n s
The CMAs can be licensed in a number of different ways, depending on the MSPs Provider-1 configuration.

MDS and CMA Command Line Options

MDS AND CMA COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

..................................................
This section provides basic command line options for administering the MDS and CMAs. All command line options must be performed in the C shell and in the directory specified in the description.

md s co n f ig U t il it y
The mdsconfig utility executes automatically during the initial installation of any MDS. This utility is used to setup the MDS parameters and assign basic configuration details, such as GUI Clients, Administrator rights, etc. If reconfiguration is necessary, the mdsconfig utility can be run from the MDS environment.

MDS Commands
mdsenv
The mdsenv command sets the environment variable for the MDS. Once the MDS environment is set, all MDS specific commands can be executed.

mdsstart [-m]
The mdsstart command starts the MDS and all CMAs loaded on the MDS. If the command is run with the -m qualifier, the MDS is started but the CMAs are not.

mdsstop [-m]
The mdsstop command stops the MDS and all CMAs loaded on the MDS. If the command is run with the -m qualifier, the MDS is stopped but the CMAs are not.

mdscmd
The mdscmd is a CPMI client that allows an Administrator to add or remove a customer or to use the mirror option to back up MDS information. This utility walks the administrator through the addition or removal of customers from the MDS and all mdscmd commands are logged and synchronized with other MDS machines.

mdsstat
The mdsstat command utility displays detailed information on the process status of both the MDS and CMAs.

62

MDS and CMA Command Line Options

cplic printlic
The cplic printlic command displays all MDS licenses.

cplic putlic
The cplic putlic command allows Administrators to add licenses to the MDS.

fw mds ver
The fw mds ver command displays the version information of the MDS DLL.

MSP_RETRY_INTERVAL [Number of seconds]


The MSP_RETRY_INTERVAL command changes the MDS setting that regulates how often it looks to see if a GUI client is connected to a CMA.

MSP_RETRY_INIT_INTERVAL [Number of seconds]


The MSP_RETRY_INIT_INTERVAL command changes the MDS setting that regulates how often it requests that the CMAs send status information to the MDS.

MSP_SPACING_REG_CMAS_FOR_STATUSES
The MSP_SPACING_REG_CMAS_FOR_STATUSES command initiates the MDS to contact the CMAs with a request to start collecting status information. If there is no MDG connection to the MDS, it will not initiate a status collection request to the CMAs. The above command forces the request to each CMA in one-second intervals.

C u s to m e r M a n a g em en t A d d -o n C om ma nd s
mdsenv [CMA name]
The mdsenv command sets the environment variable for the specified CMA. Once the CMA environment is set, all CMA specific commands can be executed. This command must be repeated, referencing the appropriate CMA, if the user intends to execute commands for a different CMA. All CMA specific commands can only take place once the correct environment variable has been set.

fw ver
The fw ver command displays the VPN-1/FireWall-1 version information for the CMA for which the environment is set.

.....
63

MDS and CMA Command Line Options

cplic printlic
The cplic printlic command displays all licenses assigned to the CMA for which the environment is set.

cplic putlic
The cplic putlic command adds licenses to the CMA for which the environment is set.
