In regards to network design in the security area, I would like to start a
discussion / get feedback from those of you who have dealt / are dealing
with this.
I know that I can most likely pull up some websites that has answers to
this, but I would like a feedback from "real people" that are working with
this.
I am only now in the process of finishing my last exam for the CCNP, and I
am then planning on going towards the security specialization. Therefore, my
knowledge of firewalls, vpn's, etc. are not that great.
We have at the company I work for used Check Point, but that's a very
expensive product, and needs to be relicensed over and over. We are
currently using Gauntlet, but that will be discontinued on the Windows NT
platform.
Because of this, I am now trying to get some feeling for a good solution,
and (of course) Cisco's PIX came to my mind. However, I have a couple of
questions I would like to get some feedback on, and perhaps start a short
discussion.
How is the PIX compared to other products when looking at:
1) Difficulty of administration?
2) Price?
3) Effectiveness of intruder protection?
4) Speed (slowing down the communication)?
and
5) What would you recommend?
Thank you very much for your time on this,
Ole
