Re: [FW1] Nokia Replacing a NT



NONE!!! Enjoy the improved security, simplicity, advanced features, and overall soundness of
the design, and built-in fail-over (you're buying two, right?).
 
Remember, though, the Nokia is based on Free BSD UNIX so bone up on your Unix
commands.  Also, you'll probably want to create a personal FTP server so you can store
the various patches, updates, et. al. on it.  That way, you can download updates to your
Nokia from a local source.  Finally, enjoy Voyager web interface, the ability to store mulitple
releases of the OS and the Firewall-1 software on the firewall itself, and the improved
speed.
 
Lanc Spitzner has some great ideas as does phoneboy.com.  The Nokia support page
(support.nokia.com) is always a great way to go.
One caveat we discovered:  the GUI is supported by Check Point so get a
subscription support support contract through them.  The firewall-1 software on the
Nokia is supported by Nokia and Check Point so make sure you get platinum-level
support contract through Nokia to Check Point.  Finally, the hardware is supported by Nokia
so get a hardware contract through Nokia.  It's a lot of maintenance, I know, but you'll be
thankful in the long haul if you have all three.
 
Best wishes.

I was going to replace our Checkpoint Firewall 4.1 running on a 133 MHZ NT
box with a Nokia IP440.

Any red flags I need to worry about?
