RE: [FW1] Managing a lot of firewalls




Jason,

Could you elaborate on the suggestion to replicate the objects.c file
around? If I get the gist of what you suggest I would have one objects.c
file with all my network objects defined in it and have to manually move it
between several management stations? I would assume that I'd have to do the
same with my rulebase as well. Scares the hell out of me!

With Provider each management client will have thier own objects.
Your essentially giving each customer or access point in your
case, thier own management stations. I don't think this would be
a good solution for what your looking to do.

I'd suggest running all your firewalls on a couple of management
servers and replicate the objects.c to the other management
servers.

A suggestion has been made that we move to an Internet access model that
involves firewalls and ISP connection points at many of our locations,
mostly in Europe. Can't give you an exact number but I would guess we are
talking about 30 or so firewalls.

How would one manage so many? Right now we've got only 4 and management is
fairly simple using and Enterprise license. Can a single management station
manage 30 plus firewalls. I would expect probably not. What are the
options? I've heard of Provider-1, would that allow me to "manage" multiple
management stations such that I would still only have one set of network
objects and rulebase to maintain? Does it work well?
