Tech Tip: LOM Card Patching

How many times have you patched your Check Point Gaia firewall and management server in the last 6-12 months? Hopefully the answer is multiple!

When was the last time you patched your LOM (Lights Out Management) interface? It is amazing how often this gets overlooked and missed.

Go check your LOM today using the instructions in the below, or head over to sk101250 for more detail.

sk88064 will allow you to compare your active LOM version to the recommended (latest) version.

Some good news, you can patch this independently of the main system, it will not cause any reboots to your live firewall processing traffic so do not delay any longer.
