Netscreen wont help me with the Pix exam, or the cisco VPN exam or the CCNP exams :) I like using Cisco stuff cause it's a standard, you can find information on there site (and groups like this, thanks) when things go bad. I am not big on any 3rd party stuff, because when you go to an interview, its more likely they will have Cisco then any other product for real networking :) Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that will fly by the CTO.

I'm not trying to shoot pix down...but for the small office..I would not even go that route....Go netscreen.... they can do NAT, transparent bridging, and normal firewalling and they are not expensive. (and a snap to set up) Not to mention that they support site to site or site to user vpns out of the box practically...(extremely easy to set up!) $.02 -Patrick for what it's worth we use border manager, severeal netscreens and two pix 535's in failover.. ;) >>> "Brian Zeitz" 02/07/02 10:38AM >>> I have been looking at routers/firewalls. I am thinking of going with the 2611 with a ADSL card, I also want to get a 515. Our office is not that big yet, but I want to plan for the future. I see that the Pix 515R only does DES, but doesn't do 3DES. But when I buy the router, I can get it with 3DES. I am just kinda confused, where is the best place to use 3DES, on the firewall, or on the router? Or it doesn't matter. The way I see it, if I wanted to do 3DES on the firewall with the 515, I would have to buy the 515UR, which is about 10K. I don't really need the thoughput for 100,000 users just yet though. Any suggestions on this? Thanks in advance...
