Anyone else annoyed with the speed of 115200 bps for the serial port on Check Point’s 1100 appliances? I am, because our terminal servers connect with 9600 bps. But this can be changed. Even if supportcenter.checkpoint.com does not offer any hint, the solution is quite simple:
- Get a connection to the appliance with 115200.
- Change to expert mode.
- Issue “fw_setenv baudrate 9600” there.
- Reboot.
- Connect with 9600.
- Enjoy.
To verify which baudrate you are using, issue “fw_printenv baudrate“.
