RE: [FW1] 2 FW interfaces on same network for redundancy?


The qfe card will still be a single point of failure.

Subject: [FW1] 2 FW interfaces on same network for redundancy?



Hi,

We've got a checkpoint FW-1 v3.0 firewall on Solaris 2.6 with a Sun Quad
Fast Ethernet installed.  We're looking to set up a redundant connection to
a network using 2 ports of the Sun QFE card connected to separate Cisco
Catalyst switches, with the clients on the network also having connections
to both switches.

Does anyone know if it's possible to set up 2 identical interfaces on the
FW/Solaris box to provide this redundant connection?  I've tried setting up
2 interfaces (on the same network 10.10.1.0 255.255.255.0) with different
IPs but Solaris only ever uses one of them and doesn't even use the other
one in the event of failure.

You're help would be much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Paul.
