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). --Joerg http://www.firewalls-illustriert.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Vic G [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 26.

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? _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ================================================= 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] ================================================= ================================================= 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] =================================================
