RE: [FW1] Firewall/Network Performance problems



Juan -- Thanks but that I already knew. What I am looking to find out is,
how others in the real world have tweaked their firewalls for memory usage
or if they haven't and the entire worlds population of firewalls are all
running on the default of 3MB each. We adjusted ours yesterday to 16 MB. But
I still think that number should be higher, personally. So I am looking for
actual info from other users. Thanks.

Tim

To find out how much memory the firewall is running issue the command 'fw
ctl pstat' and it will give you the current settings for the FW kernel
module.

Subject: [FW1] Firewall/Network Performance problems



We are experiencing some network problems that I believe we have narrowded
down to our firewall. I was surfing through the CP KB and found a couple of
articles that talk about performance tuning. It says that the default memory
usage for FW1 is 3MB. When looking at our NT firewall to see what it is set
at, the registry key that it talks about is not available. I assume that
this means that we are using the default memory. Can someone confirm this
for me and also I am curious what memory levels everyone is using on their
firewalls. This server has 256MB and the setting the CP recommends is 16 MB.
Seems like if it is that low that we have over spent on this server. Any
practical experience anyone can offer me on this? Thanks much.
