Checkpoint IKE Debug
This guide assumes you have Checkpoint running on an IPSO nokia platform and are familiar with debugging the platforms.
Logon to the firewall (using your PuTTY client & SSH v2) as admin and enter expert mode.
Run the following commands:
cd /$FWDIR/log
vpn debug ikeon
The logging of phase1 (IKE) & phase2 (IPSEC) are recorded within the ike.elg file that will populate in the directory you’re in.
To analyse the debug, use IKEView which we’ve discussed on another post.
