CHECKPOINT - cluster ID and magic MAC

It may happen to connect multiple Checkpoint clusters on the same LAN segment
In this case you need to know the cluster ID in order to prevent issues with the two clusters interacting together.

here is how:

R77.30 and above

Easy

[Expert@Member_HostName]# cphaconf cluster_id get
Example output:
cphaconf cluster_id: 154 

Before R77.30

[Expert@HostName]# fw ctl get int fwha_mac_magic 
[Expert@HostName]# fw ctl get int fwha_mac_forward_magic

Configuring different IDs

R77.30

Easy

[Expert@Member_HostName]# cphaconf cluster_id set 200

Before R77.30

[Expert@HostName]# fw ctl set int fwha_mac_magic VALUE_1
[Expert@HostName]# fw ctl set int fwha_mac_forward_magic VALUE_2
