Working with VPNs

This chapter describes how to use your UTM-1 appliance as a Remote Access VPN Client, VPN server, or VPN gateway.

Note: For maximum security, you can integrate all UTM-1 appliances into an overall enterprise security policy. Check Point's Security Management Architecture (SMART) delivers a single enterprise-wide security policy that you can centrally manage and automatically deploy to an unlimited number of UTM-1 gateways.

To connect an appliance to a Check Point SMART management server, you must connect the appliance to the Service Center using the Services page Connect tab.

This chapter does not discuss creating and managing VPNs using SMART management tools. For more information on connecting and managing VPNs using SMART management tools, refer to your SmartCenter documentation.
