Health and Safety Information

Read the following warnings before setting up or using the appliance.

Warning - Do not block air vents. A minimum 1/2-inch clearance is required.

Warning - This appliance does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Do not remove any covers or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Opening the device or modifying it in any way has the risk of personal injury and will void your warranty. The following instructions are for trained service personnel only.

To prevent damage to any system board, it is important to handle it with care. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static electricity discharge:

• When handling the board, to use a grounded wrist strap designed for static discharge elimination.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only. Do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling processor chips or memory modules, avoid touching their pins or gold edge fingers.
• Restore the communications appliance system board and peripherals back into the antistatic bag when they are not in use or not installed in the chassis. Some circuitry on the system board can continue operating even though the power is switched off.
• Under no circumstances should the lithium battery cell used to power the real-time clock be allowed to short. The battery cell may heat up under these conditions and present a burn hazard.

Warning - DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

• Disconnect the system board power supply from its power source before you connect or disconnect cables or install or remove any system board components. Failure to do this can result in personnel injury or equipment damage.
• Avoid short-circuiting the lithium battery; this can cause it to superheat and cause burns if touched.

Mounting Smart-1 25 in a Rack

These instructions show how to install Smart-1 25 in a standard 19 inch rack.

Safety Instructions

Before installing your appliance in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:

• Make sure that the room air temperature is below 35^ (95°F).
• Do not block any air vents. Normally, 15 cm (6 in.) of air space in the rear and 5 cm (2 in.) in the front provides proper airflow.
  • Install the appliances in the cabinet starting at the bottom and going up.
  • Install the heaviest appliance at the bottom of the rack cabinet.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
• Connect the server to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack cabinet.

Determining Space and Weight Requirements

Allow sufficient vertical space in the rack for the appliance:

Model	Height	Weight (Kg)
Smart-1 25	1U (1.75 inch, 44.5 mm)	13.5

The distance from the center of any hole to the center of the third hole above it is equivalent to 1U. The mounting holes in a standard 19-inch (482.6 mm) server rack rail are arranged as follows:

0.625" Threaded holes #12-24 or #10-32 0.625" 1.25" 0.625" 0.5" 1U (1.75") 2U (3.5") 0.625" 1.25" 0.625" 0.5" 0.625" 1.25" 0.625" 0.5" 3U (5.25")

When installing appliances, start measuring from the center of the two holes with closer spacing. Otherwise, the screw holes on the appliance may not match those on the rack.

To configure SmartEvent, first establish connectivity between the components.

1. Launch SmartDashboard.

2. In SmartDashboard, create a new host for each computer that contains a component of SmartEvent:

a) Select Manage > Network Object > New > Check Point > Host
b) In the General Properties window, click Communication and enter the activation key.
Note - If the Security Management Server and SmartEvent are installed on different sides of the firewall, add a rule that allows SIC traffic between them.
c) The version is not entered automatically if the SmartEvent version is newer than the version of the Security Management Server. If so, select the most recent version available from the Version dropdown list.
d) In the Management Software Blades list, select the blades that are installed on the new host.

1. Install the database on all log servers from which SmartEvent reads data: select Policy > Install Database and select the log servers as the targets.

2. To allow the SmartEvent Intro server to block attacks from specific IP addresses, configure the Security Management Server to accept SAM commands from the SmartEvent Intro server:

a) On the Security Management Server, edit the \$CPDIR/conf/sic_policy.conf file:
Search for the section [Inbound rules], and add the following line under # sam proxy:
DN_Mgmt ; Reporting_Tool; ANY; sam ; sslca

b) From the command line in the Security Management Server computer, run the following commands: cpstop cpstart

Configuring the SmartEvent Clients

You must perform these configurations to make the components of the SmartEvent functional.

After you have accomplished the tasks for SmartEvent Intro, events will begin to appear in the SmartEvent Intro client.

After you have accomplished the tasks for SmartReporter, logs will be created and sent to the SmartReporter database. Reports can then be created.

Defining the Internal Network for SmartEvent

To help SmartEvent Intro determine whether events originated internally or externally, the Internal Network must be defined. Certain network objects are copied from the management server to the SmartEvent Intro server during the initial synchronization and updated afterwards periodically. Define the Internal Network from these objects.

Note - If running IPS Event Analysis in a Security Management Server environment, the internal network will be defined automatically from firewall topology information. You can customize the internal network definition.

To define the Internal Network:

1. Start the SmartEvent Intro Client.
2. From the Policy view, select General Settings > Initial Settings > Internal Network.
3. Add objects (hosts, networks, groups, IP ranges) that define your environment's internal network.

Defining Correlation Units and Log Servers for SmartEvent

1. From the Policy view of the SmartEvent Intro client, select General Settings > Initial Settings > Correlation Units.
2. Select Add.
3. Click the button of the Correlation Unit field.
4. In the Select Objects window, select a Correlation Unit.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Add and select the Log Servers available as data sources to the Correlation Unit.
7. Select Save.
8. From the Actions menu, select Install Events policy.

At this point, SmartEvent Intro will begin to read logs and detect events.

To learn how to manage and fine-tune the system using the SmartEvent Intro Client, see the SmartEvent Administration Guide for your software version on the Check Point Support Center (http://supportcenter.checkpoint.com).

Creating a Consolidation Session for SmartReporter

The Consolidation session reads logs from the log server and adds them to the SmartReporter database.

• If there is a single log server in the environment, the Consolidation session is automatically created.
• If there is more than one log server, you must create the Consolidation session for each log server.

To create a Consolidation session:

1. In the Selection Bar view, select Management > Consolidation.
2. Select the Sessions tab.
3. Click Create New to create a new session.
   The New Consolidation Session window appears.
4. Select the log server from which logs will be collected and will be used to generate reports.
5. Click Next.
   The New Consolidation Session window appears.
6. Choose whether to use the default source logs and database tables, or select custom source logs and database tables for consolidation.

If you selected Select default log files and database, click Finish to complete the process. The source of the reports will be preselected logs. The report data will be stored in the default database table named CONNECTIONS. The preselected logs are the sequence of log files that are generated by Check Point products. The preselected logs session will begin at the beginning of the last file in the sequence, or at the point the sequence was stopped.

If you want to customize the Consolidation session refer to the SmartReporter Administration Guide for your software version on the Check Point Support Center (http://supportcenter.checkpoint.com).
