Re: [FW1] Stone Beat Full Cluster




Hi,

Usually performance issues are caused by asymmetric routing conditions.
And asymmetric routing conditions with FullCluster means that at least one
of the nodes has an error in its configuration.  There are also problems
with the use of Ethernet multicast and Cisco switches that can cause
flooding. For each of these configurations, we would need to know a bit
more about your configuration. If you could tell us, are you using unicast,
multicast MAC or multicast IP? If you are using a multicast IP
configuration, and therefore IGMP, do you have IGMP snooping enabled
elsewhere? Are you using NAT? Dedicated and virtual IPs? Check with
[email protected], or call the support numbers below, and someone
should be able to assist you with the problem. Best of luck!

I too run checkpoint on a windows nt system using stone beat full cluster
trough a catalyst 6509 switch and there have been a couple of issues that I
am still trying to work out.

1.  There is still some kind of broadcast or flooding of the network when
using multicast.

2.  Downloads and access to Web pages through out burst able 45mb port to
the Internet is very slow.  Example to download a file from that is 23mb I
get roughly 50 - 60 kbs and download time is roughly 20 to 28 minutes.

3.  I have tested this three ways to see if it is the firewalls or the
switch.
   a.  I put a box on the public side of the firewall running parallel to
it
and plugged into a public port of the catalyst and I get download speeds of
roughly 180 - 210 kbs and the same file takes seconds to download.

   b.  I try the same thing but now from the DMZ and I get the same speed
as
if I was on the private side 50 -60 kbs

   c.  I also try from internal to DMZ and DMZ to internal which produce
the
same results.  However going from server to server on the same broadcast
domain through the switch is very fast (which is correct).

The gist of this is that there is something with firewall-1 running
stonebeat full cluster that has slowed down speed through the firewall
dramatically almost 600% slower than running the firewall-1 solution by it
self. If any one has similar, problems please let me know and also if you
have found a solution to the problem it would be great.
