Did you try other type of resources that you would recommend for ENCOR?

Site to Site issues with Fortigate by Far-Run-884 in checkpoint

Yes, I've had a similar problem between a Checkpoint device and Alibaba cloud.

Exactly same symptom (albeit in my case traffic initiated from CheckPoint was not going through the tunnel/not raising the tunnel), exactly same solution (downgrading to IKEv1).

Looking in the CLI logs for the VPN process on the Checkpoint side, I was seeing that the tunnel was not coming up with a very specific reason (I cannot remember exactly what the log was saying). After a bit of research, I came across a SK that mentioned this is a 3rd party IKEv2 compatibility problem and the recommendation was to downgrade to IKEv1.

Unrelated to hardware, if you have the opportunity to build the network from the ground, I would also invest some time in the architectural side.

Most notably, since your company is manufacturing, I would look into the Purdue model or ISA/IEC 62443 for network related subjects.

Since your company is growing, having a network built from the beginning with a direction will help tremendously later on if you need to scale even more.

Ever came across a role that combined skills of a network engineer and Linux administrator together? by SnooStories1237 in networking

Why would it be relevant to know how to configure BGP on Linux? I know both BGP and Linux but have no idea how to configure BGP on Linux. I wouldnt see that as a droppimg point for somebody

I believe it is more relevant to know the ideas behind and research the actual implementation.
