IPSec allows > all these features and Cisco supports more than most. Actually the IPSec Specification doesn't cover any of these features. All of the major manufacturers have simply added their own hacks as various features became important. Having just installed the latest Cisco client I can say that it is, in fact, excellent. My experience with CP NG, though, has proven to be equally satisfying. Both CheckPoint and Cisco support client firewalls and pushed client policies (Though CheckPoint charges a seperate fee for this and Cisco does not). Both CheckPoint and Cisco support clients connecting from NAT'd segments. Both products support a variety of services for authentication. CheckPoint: S/Key, SecurID, OS Password, VPN-1 Password, RADIUS, AXENT, TACACS Cisco PIX: RADIUS, TACACS+ Cisco VPN Concentrator: A whole bunch In the end it seems to come down to preference. My personal feeling is that Cisco has the edge in the client VPN market (From what I have just seen), but that they still have to improve the management of large, fully meshed, site to site VPN installations. -Don ================================================= To set vacation, Out Of Office, or away messages, send an email to [email protected] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [email protected] =================================================
