Installing, Using, and Replacing ADP
Services Modules
This chapter describes the Accelerated Data Path (ADP) services modules available for the
Check Point IP690 appliance and how to connect those modules to your network. It includes the
following sections:
„
Installing and Replacing ADP Modules
„
Check Point ADP Module LED Reference Information
„
Configuring Check Point IPSO with IP690 ADP Interfaces
„
Effect on Interfaces
„
Check Point ADP Module Interface Names for IP690 Appliances
„
Configuring Network Topology with an IP690 Appliance

Configuration Example with VRRP
Note
In this chapter, network interface cards (NICs) refer to any installable PMC interface devices
other than ADP modules.
Check Point IP690 ADP modules help to accelerate firewall and VPN throughput. ADP is a
technology designed to forward packets at the highest possible rate. Check Point ADP modules
provide this technology by offloading processing from the CPU to network processors.
For IP690 appliances, ADP is implemented with a single module providing a total of eight ports.
For ADP modules other than the eight-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet module with built-in RJ-45
ports, the modules use swappable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers to provide
Gigabit Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet short-range fiber, and Gigabit Ethernet long-range
fiber interface options. Check Point ADP module transceivers are hot swappable.
Note
The eight-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet ADP module with built-in RJ-45 ports is supported only
for the IP690 running IPSO 6.0 or later.
