Why each option
Check Point uses port 257 (FW1_log) as the dedicated port for log delivery from Security Gateways to the Management Server or Log Server.
Port 258 is assigned to FW1_mgmt for management operations between components, not for log delivery.
Port 18209 is used for internal CA and certificate-related communications in Check Point, not for log delivery.
Port 257 is the Check Point proprietary FW1_log port, used specifically for transmitting log records from Security Gateways to the SmartCenter Management Server or dedicated Log Server. This port assignment is a foundational part of the Check Point communication architecture and has been consistent across versions.
Port 981 is not a standard Check Point log delivery port and is not part of the documented gateway-to-management communication ports.
