About the IP71

The IP71 is an Ethernet-to-Ethernet network security platform (NSP) with
four 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports and a 10BaseT WAN port. You can connect
the IP71 to any Internet access device that has an Ethernet interface, such as a
DSL router, a T1 router, or a DSL modem.
The IP71 incorporates the Check Point NG SMB Firewall-1 that enables the
IP71 to function as a security firewall and as a VPN gateway, thus protecting
a small office LAN from unauthorized access.
The IP71 Small Office license is installed on the IP71 and is managed by a
Check Point management server. Security policies are created at the
management server and pushed to the IP71. A single management server on
the WAN side of the IP71 can manage multiple IP71 platforms at various
remote sites. For information on how to configure the IP71 and
