RE: [FW1] HA using Cisco content switches



Viable perhaps, but an unnecessarily expensive way to go.  With any
switch-based HA solution, you'll need a pair of switches on every subnet
connected to the firewall to ensure transparent failover and no single
point of failure.  That's a minimum of 4 switches for a basic
public/private network.  Check out section 3.2.5 of this white paper for
more info:

Also, be aware that Cisco 11000 switches are only OPSEC-certified for
use with 4.0, but not with 4.1/VPN.  More info at:

Subject: [FW1] HA using Cisco content switches

Has anyone used Cisco's 11150 series content switch for HA on firewalls?
I would be interested in knowing the outcome. Also if you used VPN, does
fail over work without re-keying?

I am aware of required changes to Objects.C  and the syncing between
FW's. However my main interests lies in wither or not this is a viable
means of HA vs. other software products available.

Thanks!
Doug
