[FW1] Backup firewall?
Hi all,
I have been asked by management to setup a backup Firewall server
just in case the production firewall server goes down. I have FirewalI-1 4.0
SP6 running and have VPN connection to a remote Firewall-1 server in another
office. I planned to install the same version of Firewall-1 on a new server,
then copy over the rules and license keys from the exisiting firewall. Will
this work? I had a look at the archives and noticed that people use
Stonebeat for failover...is this something I have to buy? I would like to
have a simple solution, it doesn't have to be automatic failover as I am
quite happen to just turn the backup machine on when the old one dies and
hopefully it will resume action. I would appreciate any comments on this
subject especially from those who have done this. Thanks.
