Hi, they are right. Any computer connected to a HUB can with a packetsniffer see _every packet_ that is transmitted on the network. If you use a switch this cannot be done for all network traffic, broadcasts however will be transmitted to every computer on the same layer2 network. And you can use VLANS if you have a VLAN switch, but beware to _NOT_ set the management interface of the VLAN Swich to either 'Internet' or 'DMZ'. The switch could be hacked and with access to your switch the hacker can "move" a dmz server to the external 'Internet'. best regards At 09:32 2002-01-28 +0000, you wrote: I have a pair of Nokia IP440 setup with VRRP running FW1 V4.1================================================= 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] =================================================
