[FW-1] AW: [FW-1] Alternatives to FW-1?



Hello,

the NetScreen Aplliances might be to your taste. Cisco PIX is also not a bad
Firewall. Both use a browserbased GUI which can basically run on any
plattform (Linux, Solaris, Macintosh  ... ;-) ). They are all stateful
packetfilters which support VPNs. The NetScreen is said to have a good
throughput if it is coming to VPNs. However I have no personal experience
with NetScreen VPNs.

Other Appliances like the Watchguard Firebox are not compareable yet since
you might have to reboot them after installing a new policy (which basicall
means that you have a short downtime when installing a some policies).

Betreff: [FW-1] Alternatives to FW-1?


Is there a hardware appliance comparable to FW-1 that simulates most or all
of it's feature set:

- stateful inspection
- multiple VPN tunnels
- ability to handle subnets/routed nets at the ends of VPN tunnel.

I see some of these appliances very reasonable cost compared to CP,
especially when it's in a small office (100 IP protected) environment.
These devices can be $1k US compared to FW-1 $10k US for comperable setup
(software, maint, PC, operating system).

What are the downsides to these other vendor devices? I currently have NG
FP3 at both ends with a T1 connecting them, but am concerned about licensing
since I'm a couple over the limit... (it's something I need to track down
and remove)

Comments?
