Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.5 for Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
Connecting applications using a secured protocol is recommended by
Check Point
TM
company.
By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus uses a secured connection protocol
and the default Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
settings.
The interaction between the applications is provided using three protocols. CVP
and AMON protocols are used by the Security Server when it is expecting the
incoming connection from Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
and ELA protocol is used by
the Security Server to initiate a connection to Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
.
CVP and AMON protocols are supported by the Security Server, while
ELA protocol support is provided by
Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
.
The interaction settings are configured from the administrator's workstation using
the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Management Console.
The configuration process is not affected by the computer on which the Security
Server is installed (dedicated computer or the computer with Check Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
). The steps you will have to perform in order to configure the settings

nection using protocols CVP and AMON and the path to the
certificate file.
In order to ensure that the Secure server transfers to Check
Point
TM
Firewall-1
®
information about its operation, for exam-
ple, events registered in the operation of the Anti-Virus, you
will have to configure the settings for data transmission using
the ELA protocol.
