Checkpoint : clusterxl Down

Today I got a problem in one of the new firewall which I was building, cphaprob state "down" for one of the firewall, Definitely I decided to run chpaprob -i list command in the problematic box and I found that FIB is the creating the issue. Now what is FIB, fingers crossed....

[Expert@Firewall]# cphaprob -i list

Device Name: Interface Active Check

Device Name: FIB

FIB - is nothing but responsible for dynamic routing in checkpoint, which I am not supposed to enable, I disabled it thru cpconfig and reboot (for safer side) fixed the issue...

Stupid issue made me mad for sometime...
