What is the difference between Firewall and ACL?

ACL is part part of  Firewall. And Firewall is a whole security package.

And once filled and moved to next page, every time you go back to the same page it always suggests the wrong or previously filled value which you might not need now.  I encountered this issue where I was not knowing my AWS website login username,  so I had tried many combinations and I used AWS website not so frequently and had many times tried using different usernames and all had been stored in history.

We might encounter the error message "QoS Not Installed" on Smart Console on Device Information in status info of Checkpoint Firewall Gateway. Usually installing the policy on the cluster or gateway would resolve the issue. However sometimes the error message continues.  In that case kindly verify if QoS is ticked in General Properties in Gateway or Gateway cluster properties. Even if you tick the QoS in Device information window and keep installing the policy it does not disappear and shows the same error message. We all do a common and basic mistake here while installing the policy in the installation window make sure to keep the QoS ticked as shown below or else any change on QoS would not take effect.
