Chapter 3: Building a Check Point Lab Environment – Part 1
In this chapter, we will create our Check Point virtual lab environment. If you are studying for your Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) certification using Check Point’s Authorized Training Center, all the non-Check Point components in the labs are provisioned for you in advance. In our case, we’ll have to build the lab from scratch. This should not take long if you follow the provided instructions, and it should be even easier if you follow the accompanying video lessons. The upside of building the lab is that you’re likely to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between the different infrastructure components.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Lab topology and components
- Downloading the prerequisites
- Installing Oracle VirtualBox
- Deploying the VyOS router
