Subject: Re: [FW-1]
I
have yet to hear of an IPSec-based VPN that gives a hoot whose product is on
each end. Granted, vendor quirkiness can make getting these things to
talk a bit tricky, but that makes it sometimes 'a pain,' not
'impossible.'
And if we are talking FW-1 to FW-1 here... ok, I'll admit, I haven't
touched a Nortel yet, saying that that fundamentally 'won't work' sounds
like a bit of a stretch. A quick call to Checkpoint should put that to
rest.
Hi there,
We're currently in the throws of implementing
FW-1, however, our web site is hosted by our MSP and we wanted to set up a
permanent VPN to them (firewall to firewall VPN).
Our MSP uses a Nortel 'hardware box' and we
want to use FW-1 on an Intel server. Our MSP insists that FW-1 > Nortel
VPNs won't work, even though I'm under the impression that nortel
firewalls use FW-1!!
Can anyone verify this? If this is the case,
can anyone suggest away of keeping our intel server and still creating a
VPN with the MSP?
If this is proven TO WORK can someone send me
some supporting docs?
Cheers,
Stuart C
