Unless this is a brand new change, the 515R certainly does support 3DES as I have installed it many times on this firewall. The DES license is the only FREE license but you can pay for the 3DES. The difference between the "R" and "U" versions has to do primarily with interfaces (R=3, U=6) and failover (R=no, U=yes).
Rik -----Original Message----- From: Brian Zeitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 10:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 3DES [7:34754] 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...
