[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [FW1] Several Functional Questions
Hi everybody, I need to clarify some technical questions in order to build a proposal. I'm asking you these questions because I had received opposite answer from my Checkpoint provider and from CheckPoint engineers. Next, I'm writing you my questions: 1.- The first question is related to the way the NOKIA IP650 firewalls work in High Availability. According to the documentation I have found, the way these boxes work in High Availability is doing a failover, one firewall acting as primary or active and the other one acting as secondary or stand-by. However, our costumer is looking for a scheme where both firewalls could work at the same time doing load balancing. My questions are: Can I configure the NOKIA firewalls to work in load balancing? Do I need to buy any additional module?, or the only way to achieve the load balancing is using a third party product like Cisco Local Director? 2.- The second question is related to the IIS RealSecure product. I would like to know how RealSecure network sensors work with these Nokia boxes. My questions regarding this subject are: How many network sensors are installed? one for each LAN interface? Only one inspecting the traffic getting to the external interface? 3.- The third question is related to the Floodgate product. My CheckPoint provider told me that is not possible to install the Floodgate Module on the Nokia box, so I included a separated server for the Floodgate module. However, I'm not sure how the Floodgate Module is going to control the traffic if it isn't installed on the Nokia firewalls, which controls all the communication in the network. Do I have to place the Floodgate server in front of the Nokia firewall? (I'm attaching the arquitecture diagram) Thanks in advance for your help and regards, ========================================================= _/ | Jesus Giraut _/ | IT Solution Consultant _/_/_/ _/_/_/ | MCA Region _/ _/ _/ _/ | HP Consulting _/ _/ _/_/_/ | Phone: (_/ | Fax: (_/ | Telnet: 1-207-8083 | Mobile: (58) 14-274-7457 | eMail: [email protected] ========================================================= ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
