Changing the default port for OPSEC LEA communication

Change the default port (18184) on which OPSEC LEA communicates.

1. At the command-line prompt of your Check Point SmartCenter Server, type the following command to stop the firewall services:

   cpstop

2. Depending on your Check Point SmartCenter Server operating system, open the following file:
   • Linux® - $FWDIR\conf\fwopsec.conf
   • Windows - %FWDIR%\conf\fwopsec.conf

   The default contents of this file are as follows:

   # The VPN-1 default settings are: 
   # # sam_server auth_port 0 # sam_server port 18183 
   # # lea_server auth_port 18184 # lea_server port 0 
   # # ela_server auth_port 18187 # ela_server port 0 
   # # cpmi_server auth_port 18190 
   # # uaa_server auth_port 19191 # uaa_server port 0 #

3. Change the default lea_server auth_port from 18184 to another port number.
4. Remove the hash (#) mark from that line.
   Example:

   lea_server auth_port 18888 # lea_server port 0

5. Save and close the file.
6. Type the following command to start the firewall services:

   cpstart
